The reappearance of Christ, the world expectation, by Master Djwhal Khul
The transcendent God, greater, more vast and more conclusive than the world of His Creation, has been universally recognized and the emphasis placed on him has generally been accepted; All creeds can affirm with Shri Khrisna when he speaks as God, the Creator that, "having combined the entire universe with a fragment of Myself, I remain." This transcendent God has dominated the religious thought of millions of simple and spiritual people over the centuries, since humanity began its path to divinity.
Slowly it is awakening the incipient consciousness of humanity to the great parallel truth of God Immanent divinely penetrating all forms, conditioning from within all the kingdoms of nature, expressing innate divinity through human beings and (two thousand years ago) personalizing the nature of that divine immanence in the person of Christ. Today, as a consequence of this divine Presence in manifestation, a new concept is penetrating the minds of men everywhere: that of "Christ in us hope is of glory" (Col. 1 27). There is a growing and progressive belief that the Christ is in us, as it was in the Master Jesus, a belief that will alter the affairs of the world and the attitude of mankind towards life.
The wonderful life that he lived two thousand years ago, remains with us and has not lost any of its freshness, for it is eternal aspiration, hope, encouragement and example. The love that He expressed still influences the world of thought although relatively few have really tried to demonstrate the same quality of His love, love that leads infallibly to world service, to complete self-forgetfulness and to a radiant and magnetic life. The words that He pronounced were few and simple, and all men can understand them, although their meaning has been lost in the tortuous legitimations and discussions of St. Paul, and in the extensive disputes of theological commentators, since Christ lived and He left us - or he apparently did.
However, Christ is today closer to humanity than in any other period of human history; it is closer than the longing and hopeful disciple suspects, and it may be even closer if what is written here is understood and brought to the attention of all men, because Cristo belongs to humanity, to the world of men and not only the Church and the religious beliefs of the whole world.
Around him - in that High Place of the Earth where He has his abode, all His great disciples, the Masters of Wisdom, and all those Liberated Sons of God who in the course of the ages have passed from darkness to Light, from the unreal to the Real and from death to Immortality. They are willing to fulfill His mandate and obey Him as Teacher of Teachers and Instructor of Angels and men. The Exponents and Representatives of all the creeds of the world that are under His guidance, await the moment to reveal that those who are struggling today in the chaos of world affairs and trying to solve the world crisis are not alone. Transcendent God is working through the Christ and the spiritual Hierarchy to bring relief; Immanent God in all men is on the eve of being recognized in a wonderful way.
The great Apostolic succession of Knowers of God is prepared today to initiate a renewed activity, and the succession of Those Who lived on Earth have accepted the reality of Transcendent God, discovered the reality of Immanent God, reproduced in His own lives. divine characteristics of the Christic life (because they have lived on earth as He has done and does) and "penetrated behind the veil, for us, giving us an example so that we also follow His steps" and theirs. In due course we will also belong to that great success.
The Buddha Himself is behind the Christ humbly acknowledging the divine task that he is about to complete, due to the imminence of that spiritual realization. Not only are they aware of His Plans Who acted consciously in the Kingdom of God, but those great spiritual Beings who live and dwell in the Home of the Father and In the center where the Will of God is known, they have also been mobilized and organized to help in His work. The successor spiritual line, from the throne of the Ancient of Days to the humble disciple (gathered at the feet of Christ), is today committed to the task of helping The humanity.
The Great moment he has waited so patiently is almost imminent; the end has come of age, which he referred to when speaking to His small group of disciples: He ah !, I am with you until the end of the era! . At present he remains and waits, knowing that the time has come for him to see the eagerness of his soul and be satiated (Is. 33, 11).
In all the spiritual succession of the Sons of God, only one looks and feels expectation and preparation. The Hierarchy waits. He has done all that was possible with regard to the present opportunity. The Christ waits in patient silence, attentive to the effort that will materialize His work on earth and will allow him to continue the effort he began 2, 000 years ago in Palestine. The Buddha also waits in order to perform His part, if humanity offers him the opportunity. It all depends on the right action of people of good will.
From the home of the Father (the center where the Will of God is known, or Shamballa of the esotericists) has emerged the f at: The hour has come. From the Kingdom of God where Christ reigns, the answer has arisen: Father, Your will be done! In the miserable, perplexed and hardworking world of men, the cry is constantly ceased: `` May Christ return to earth, '' because in the three great spiritual centers: the Home of the Father, the Kingdom of God and the Humanity that is waking up, there is only one purpose, only one idea and one joint expectant.
It is essential that there is greater knowledge today regarding the center where the will of God is known. The public should have a certain knowledge about this high spiritual center to which if we are to believe in the Gospel, Cristo himself always paid attention to him. We often read in the New Testament that the Father spoke to Him or that l heard a voice inaudible to others, or that the words “This is my Son” Loved". Repeatedly we read that the seal of approval was granted as it is spiritually called. Only the Father, the Planetary Logos, "He in whom we live, move and have our being" (Heb. 17, 28), the Lord of the World, the Ancient of Days (Da. 7, 9), can provide Deny this final word of approval. As we well know, Master Jesus has gone through five crises or initiations - Birth in Bethlehem, Baptism, Transfiguration, Crucifixion and Resurrection. But behind this evident and practical teaching there is an underground current or thought of something much higher and of great importance: the Voice of approval of the Father recognizing what Christ did.
When Christ completes the work begun 2, 000 years ago in the next 2, 000 years, surely that affirmative Voice will be heard again and will be granted divine recognition of His advent. Then the Christ will receive that great initiation about which we know nothing, except that two divine aspects will unite and merge in Him (Love Wisdom in full manifestation, motivated by divine will or power). Then the Buddha and the Christ will appear before the Father, the Lord of the World, will see together the Glory of the Lord and, eventually, will render a higher service, whose nature and quality we do not know.
I do not write in a fanatic or Adventist spirit, nor do I speak as a speculative theologian or an exponent of a phase of anxious religious thought. I speak because many know that the moment is ripe and that the cry of simple hearts full of faith has reached the highest spiritual spheres and has set in motion energies and forces that can no longer be stopped. The invoking demand of the anguished humanity is so great and solid today, that together with the wisdom and knowledge of the spiritual Hierarchy has led to the initiation of certain activities in the Home of the Father, which will result in the Glory of God, in the transformation of the Divine Will to good, in human goodwill and in the resulting peace on earth.
A new chapter is about to be written in the Great Book of the spiritual life: a new expansion of consciousness is an imminent event; humanity can today recognize the concern of divinity; The marked expectation will confirm the accuracy of the biblical statement: "And every eye will see it" (Rv. 1, 7). The religious experience or the spiritual history of the human race can be summed up in a series of recollections - the recognition of those who, in the course of the ages have constituted the Apostolic Succession and culminated in the appearance of the great religious guides who have come since 700 BC and founded the great modern creeds and, above all, the Christ himself who perfectly embodied the Immanent God, plus the knowledge of God Transcendent; the recognition of these superior spiritual concepts of love, life and relationship, always fluctuating in the background of human thought, which are now about to be expressed correctly; the recognition of true brotherhood among men, based on the divine One Life, which acts through the one soul and expresses itself through the one humanity; therefore, the recognition of the relationship that exists between divine life, throughout the world, and humanity itself. The development of that spiritual attitude will lead to the correct human relations and eventual world peace.
Possibly now another recognition occurs. That of the imminent return of Christ (if this phrase can be applied to He who has never abandoned us) and the new spiritual opportunities that this event will offer.
The basis for such recognition lies in the deep conviction, innate in human consciousness, that some Instructor, Savior, Revelator, Legislator or Divine Representative, coming from the world of spiritual realities, must appear, due to the need and human demand. In the course of the centuries, in the most pressing moments of humanity and in response to their demand, a divine Son of God has appeared under different names. Then Christ came and apparently left us, without having finished his task and without consummating what He had visualized for humanity. It would seem that His work has been hindered and frustrated for two thousand years and that it has been worthless, since the proliferation of the churches, through the centuries, does not constitute a guarantee of the spiritual triumph that He longed for. It takes more than the theological interpretations and the global growth of world religions (including Christianity and Buddhism) to prove that His world mission was carried out successfully.
Although His realization seemed impossible, three conditions were required by which one could attempt to test His work; These conditions are currently proven facts. First, there is, as we have already seen, a general planetary condition that unfortunately (due to man's selfishness) was so catastrophic that humanity was forced to recognize the cause and origin of the disaster; second, a spiritual awakening that will be driven from the deepest depths of man's consciousness, and this happens today as a result of the Good World Will 1914-1945; third, a growing summoning clamor, prayer or demand that ascends to the high spiritual sources, whatever the name by which they are designated.
Today these three conditions have been met, and humanity faces a renewed opportunity. The disaster suffered by humanity is universal and no one has escaped it; We are all, in one way or another, physically, economically or socially involved. The spiritual awakening of men (believers or not, but on a larger scale non-believers) is general and thorough, and a return to God can be observed everywhere. Finally, both causes have made humanity raise, as never before, a more clear, pure and altruistic invoking demand than in any other time in human history, because it is based on clear thinking and common anguish. . True religion is emerging again in the hearts of the men of all lands; harboring this hope and recognizing the divine antecedents, possibly allows the people to return to the churches and practice world religions, but it will surely make them return to God.
Religion is, undeniably, the name given to the invoking demand of humanity, which brings an answer to the evocative needs of the Spirit of God, spirit that acts in every human heart and in every group, and also does it through the spiritual Hierarchy of the planet. Encourage the Cristo, Hierarchy Guide, to act, and the action you take will allow Him to return with His disciples.
The idea of the return of Christ is very familiar, and the concept that the Son of God returns in response to human needs is included in the teachings of almost all world creeds. Since he apparently left for that sphere, where his faithful have placed him, small groups of people came to believe that on a certain date he would return, but his prophecies and hopes were always disappointed. He has not returned. They have been mocked by crowds and crashed by intelligent men. His eyes have not seen Him nor has there been a tangible indication of His presence. Today, thousands of people know that He will come; the plans for His reappearance are being developed without having established date or time. Only two or three know it, but at the time they least think He will come. (Mt. 24, 44).
It is difficult for the orthodox thinker of any creed to accept the truth that Christ cannot return, because he has always been here on Earth watching over the spiritual destiny of mankind. He has never left us, but in a physical and incognito body, although not hidden, he has guided the affairs of the spiritual Hierarchy and His disciples and workers, who have jointly committed themselves with Him to serve on Earth. He can only reappear. It is a spiritual truth that those who have emerged from the grave to the fullness of the resurrection life may be visible and at the same time invisible to the vision of the believer. Seeing and recognizing, are two very different things, and one of the great recognitions of humanity, in the near future, is that it has always been with us sharing family values, the peculiar characteristics of our civilization and the innumerable gifts granted to the man.
The first signs that He approaches with his disciples can already be perceived by those who observe and correctly interpret the signs of the times, being able to observe, among those signs, the spiritual union of those who love their fellow men, which is actually the organization of the external physical army of the Lord army whose only weapon is love, the right word and the right human relationships. The establishment of this unknown organization has continued with extraordinary rapidity during the postwar period, since humanity is tired of hatred and controversy.
The collaborators of Christ are active in the New Group of Servants of the World, constituting the most powerful group of precursors that had never preceded the entry of a great World Character in the arena of human living. Their work and influence today are seen and felt everywhere, and nothing can destroy what has already been done. Since 1935 he has experimented with the spiritual and organizing effect of the Invocation expressed and enunciated, and the energy of the summoning cry of humanity has been directed towards those channels that go from Earth to the Highest place where the Christ dwells. From there it has been transmitted to these even higher spheres, where the attention of the Lord of the World, the Ancient of Days, the Father of all, more the Creative Energies and the living Beings that dwell with him, can be focused on humanity and take the steps that more quickly personify the purposes of God.
For the first time in the history of mankind the demand of the peoples of the Earth is so powerful and in accordance with the divine orientation, in time and space, that it will inevitably be fulfilled; the expected spiritual representative must appear, but this time he will not come alone, he will be accompanied by those whose lives and words will be recognized by all sectors of human thought. The symbolic prophecies observed in all the world Scriptures, regarding this imminent event, will demonstrate its truthfulness, however its symbolism must be reinterpreted; Circumstances and events will not be exactly as the Scriptures seem to indicate. It will come, for example in the clouds of heaven (Mt. 26, 64), according to the Christian Scriptures, but what does this supernatural have when millions of people Do they travel through space at all times of day and night? I mention it as a prophecy of the most prominent and known; however, it has very little meaning for our modern civilization. The important thing is that he will come
The Wesak Festival has been celebrated for centuries in the well-known valley of the Himalayas, believe it or not, in order to:
1. Corroborate that Christ physically exists among us from His supposed departure.
2. Check, on the physical level, the real similarity of the approach to God from East and West. Both Christ and Buddha are present.
3. Establish a meeting place for those who annually, in a synthetic and symbolic way, are linked and represent the Home of the Father, the Kingdom of God and humanity .
4. Demonstrate the nature of the work to be done as a great Intermediary, acting as a Representative of the spiritual Hierarchy and Guide of the New Group of World Servants. As Representative I will ask that the real existence of the Kingdom of God be recognized, here and now.
One of the important messages for those of us who read these words may be the great truth and current reality of the physical presence of Christ on Earth, of His group of disciples and executives, of activities representative of the group for the sake of the human genre and the close relationship that exists among all, relationship that arises in certain great spiritual festivals and includes not only the Kingdom of God but also to the Father, and to the Home of the Father. We have the Easter Festival in Aries, the Festival of the Buddha in Taurus, whose physical presence expresses the spiritual solidarity of our planet, and the Festival of Gemini, peculiarly called the Festival of Christ, in which as Gu a of the New Group of Servants of the World pronounces the Great Invocation for the good of the people of goodwill throughout the world, gathering at the same time the incipient and unexpressed demands of those who seek A new and better way to live. They yearn to love in daily life, to establish human relations correctly and to understand the underlying Plan.
The important thing is these physical events, not the vague hopes and promises of theological dogmas. The physical Presence on our planet of the well-known Spiritual Characters, such as the Lord of the World, the Ancient of Days, the Seven Spirits before the throne of God, the Spiritual Guide Buddha of the East absorb our attention in this culminating age. The uncertain belief of His existence, the vague speculations about His work, the interest placed at the service of human well-being and the still unconvincing, though hopeful, fervent longing of believers (and also non-believers), will soon be replaced by the full knowledge and visual recognition, due to the indications that will be observed, the collaborative activity and the reorganization and orientation (by men of unusual power) of the political, religious, economic and social life of humanity.
This will not come as a result of a proclamation or a wonderful planetary event that will make human beings exclaim: “Praise be, He is here. Here are the signs of His divinity ”, because it would provoke antagonism and mockery, rejection or fanatic credulity.
It will come for having recognized him as a driver, due to the dynamic, but logical, changes made in world affairs, and to the action undertaken by the peoples from the most recondite of their consciences.
Many years ago I stated that the Christ could come in three different ways, or rather, that the reality of His presence could also be verified in three different ways.
On that occasion it was pointed out that the first thing that Christ would do would be to stimulate the spiritual conscience of man, to evoke on a large scale the spiritual demands of mankind and to promote on a world scale the Christ consciousness in human heart. This has already been done with very effective results. The clamorous demands of men of good will, of workers in the field of charity and of those who have committed themselves to collaborate internationally to alleviate the sufferings of the world and establish correct human relations, undeniably express the nature of this process. The aspect of the preparatory work that indicates His advent has reached a stage where nothing can stop its progress or diminish its momentum. In spite of appearances, the emergence of the Christ consciousness has triumphed, and what may seem like an opposite activity does not ultimately matter, because it is of a temporary nature.
It was also pointed out on that occasion that the next step of the Hierarchy would be to capture in the minds of enlightened men from all over the world, the spiritual ideas that contain the new truths, the descent (if I can call it that) of the new concepts that will govern human life and the influence that the Christ will exert on the world disciples and the New Group of Servants of the World. This Movement planned by the Hierarchy progresses; men and women from all over and from all walks of life enunciate the new truths that will guide human living in the future, and found new organizations, movements and large or small groups that will make the human masses know the reality of the need and the way to face it. They do it driven by the fervor of their hearts and by the loving response to human anguish and, although they do not express it, they work to extend the Kingdom of God on Earth. Given the obvious multi-publicity of organizations, books and conferences, etc., it is impossible to deny these facts.
Third, Christ, it is said, could come in Person and walk among men as he did before. This has not yet happened, but plans are formulated that will allow you to do so. These plans do not include the birth of a beautiful child in a good home on Earth; nor will there be extravagant proclamations; Nor will there be the credulous recognition of the well-intentioned and the ignorant, as happens so frequently today, nor will it appear who says: “This is the Christ. It is here or there. ” However, I would like to point out that the wide dissemination of such statements and stories, although undesirable, misleading and erroneous, nevertheless demonstrates the human expectation for His imminent advent. Belief in His arrival is something fundamental in human consciousness. It has not yet been established how and how it will come. The exact moment has not yet arrived, nor has it been determined how it will appear. The real nature of the first two preparatory steps, already taken by the Hierarchy under His direction, are the guarantee that He will come, and when He does, the human genus will be prepared.
We will summarize certain aspects of the work that began two thousand years ago, because it will give us the key to His future work. Part of it is well known, as it has been highlighted by all creeds and in particular by the instructors of the Christian faith who presented His task in a very difficult way to be understood by man; the undue emphasis placed on his divinity (something that the Christ never made stand out) induces to believe that He and only He can perform the same works. The theologians have forgotten that Christ said: "Greater things you will do, because I go to the Father" (Jn. 14, 12). By this it is meant that the entrance to the Father's Home would result in such an influx of spiritual power, vision and creative fulfillment for man, that his exploits should overcome His own, because of the distortion of His teachings and his remote relationship With man, we have not been able to do even greater things. Surely someday we will do them, although in certain aspects they were already made. Allow me to expose some of the things that He did and that we can also do with his help.
1. For the first time in the history of mankind, God's love embodied in a man, Christ, inaugurating the era of love. This expression of divine love is still in its preparatory stage; There is no true love in the world and very few understand the real meaning of that word. But, symbolically speaking, when the United Nations has acquired true and effective power, then welfare in the world will have been secured. What is that well-being, but love in action? What is international collaboration, but love on a world scale? These are the things expressed by the love of God in Christ and for which we work today to bring them into existence. We try to do it in vast proportions despite opposition opposition that can only temporarily succeed by the power of the spirit that has awakened in man. These are the things that the Hierarchy is helping to accomplish and will continue to do so with its already effective procedures.
2. Christ announced that the Kingdom of God was in the Land, and also said that we seek that Kingdom first, considering everything else as secondary. That Kingdom formed by those who, in the course of the ages, pursued spiritual purposes and freed themselves from the limitations of the physical body, the emotional domain and the impeding mind, has always been with us. Its citizens, unknown to most, have a physical body, work for the welfare of humanity, apply the general technique of love, instead of emotion, and constitute that large group of "Illuminated Minds" that They guide the destinies of the world. The Kingdom of God is not something that will descend upon Earth when man is good enough. It is something that is already acting efficiently and demands recognition. This organized group is already recognized by those who truly seek first the Kingdom of God and thereby discover that such Kingdom is already here. Many know that Christ and his disciples are physically present on Earth; They also know that the Kingdom they govern has its laws and ways of acting, being known by many people throughout the centuries.
Christ is the Healer and Savior of the world. It acts because it is the personified soul of all Reality. Act today, as he did in Palestine two thousand years ago, through groups. There he acted through his three beloved disciples, the twelve apostles, the seventy elected and the five hundred followers. He now acts through the Masters and His groups, greatly intensifying His effort. He can act and will do so, through all groups, to the extent that they adapt to the planned service of spreading love and consciously aligning themselves with the great power of internal groups.
These groups have always proclaimed the physical Presence of Christ, have so misrepresented the teaching with dogmatic statements about unimportant details and ridiculous statements, that the underlying truth has not been recognized, nor has it presented an attractive Kingdom. That kingdom exists, but it is not a place of discipline or golden harps, inhabited by ignorant fanatics, but a field of service, a place where every man has full freedom to exercise his divinity in the service of humanity.
3. El Cristo reveló en la Transfiguración la gloria innata en todos los hombres. La triple naturaleza inferior física, emocional y mental yace allí postrada ante la gloria revelada. En el mismo momento en que estaba encarnado el Cristo Inmanente y la humanidad estaba representada por los tres apóstoles, surgió una voz desde el Hogar del Padre, reconociendo la divinidad revelada y la Primogenitura del Cristo Transfigurado. Sobre esta divinidad innata, esta reconocida Primogenitura, se basa la hermandad de los hombres una vida, una gloria que será revelada y un parentesco divino. Hoy, en gran escala, aunque no se tenga en cuenta lo que implica la divinidad, la gloria del hombre y su parentesco fundamental, es ya un hecho en la conciencia humana. Conjuntamente con esas características tan deplorables que parecieran negar toda divinidad, tenemos las maravillosas realizaciones del hombre y su triunfo sobre la naturaleza. La gloria de los descubrimientos científicos y la magnifica evidencia del arte creador, tanto moderno como antiguo, no dejan lugar a dudas respecto a la divinidad del hombre. He aquí, entonces, las cosas m s grandes de las que Cristo hablara, y aqu tam bi n el triunfo del Cristo dentro del coraz n humano.
Uno de los incre bles triunfos de las fuerzas del mal es que siempre se habla de la conciencia cr stica en t rminos de religi n, de concurrencia a los templos y de creencias ortodoxas. Ser un ciu dadano del Reino de Dios no significa que debe considerarse im-prescindiblemente miembro de alguna iglesia ortodoxa. El divino Cristo en el coraz n humano puede expresarse en los muchos y diversos sectores del vivir humano pol tica, arte, econom a, vi da social, ciencia y religi n. Convendr a recordar que la nica vez que Cristo visit como adulto el templo de los jud os, provoc un disturbio. La humanidad est pasando de una gloria a otra, y esto se observa con toda claridad en el extenso panorama hist rico, gloria que se revela hoy en todos los campos de la actividad humana; por lo tanto la Transfiguraci n de quienes se hallan en la c spide de la ola de la civilizaci n humana, est muy cercana.
4 . Finalmente con el triunfo de la Crucifixi no gran Re nunciaci n (como se la denomina con m s exactitud en Oriente), Cristo introdujo por primera vez en la Tierra un tenue hilo de la Voluntad divina proveniente del Hogar del Padre (Shamba lla), que pas a la comprensiva custodia del Reino de Dios y, por intermedio del Cristo, fue presentado a la humanidad. Median te la complementaci n de ciertos grandes Hijos de Dios, los tres aspectos divinos o caracter sticos de la divina Trinidad volun tad, amor e inteligencia, se convirtieron en parte de los pen samientos y aspiraciones humanos. Los cristianos son propensos a olvidar que el Cristo no pas sobre la cruz la agon a de las lti mas horas, sino en el Huerto de Getseman . Entonces en agon ay casi sin esperanzas, Su voluntad se sumergi en la voluntad del Padre, exclamando: Padre, h gase Tu voluntad, no la m a (Le. 22, 42).
Algo nuevo, planeado desde las mismas profundidades del tiempo, ocurri entonces en aquel tranquilo huerto; Cristo, re presentando al g nero humano, estableci en la Tierra la vo luntad del Padre e hizo posible que la humanidad inteligente la cumpliera. Hasta entonces esa Voluntad s lo era conocida en el Hogar del Padre; la Jerarqu a Espiritual la reconoci y adapt a las necesidades del mundo, actuando bajo la gu a del Cristo, y as tom forma como Plan divino. Hoy, debido a lo que rea liz Cristo en Su momento de crisis siglos atr s, la humanidad puede agregar sus esfuerzos para llevar a cabo ese Plan. La voluntad al bien del Hogar del Padre puede convertirse en bue na voluntad en el Reino de Dios y ser trasformada en correc tas relaciones humanas por la humanidad inteligente. De esta manera la l nea directa, o hilo de la Voluntad de Dios, se ex tiende hoy desde el lugar m s alto al m s bajo, ya su debido tiempo puede convertirse en un cable por el cual podr n ascen der los hijos de los hombres y descender el amoroso y viviente esp ritu de Dios.
Olvidando distancias, lejanías y vaguedades, comprendamos que estamos hablando de acontecimientos exactos y reales de nuestro planeta. Tratamos con reconocimientos, hechos y acontecimientos auténticos, que son del dominio consciente y también de muchos. El Cristo histórico y el Cristo en el corazón humano son realidades planetarias.
Lo que será para Cristo reaparecer entre los hombres y efectuar las actividades diarias y externas, es un aspecto de Su retorno que nunca ha sido mencionado o expresado. ¿Qué sentirá Él cuando llegue el momento de aparecer?
En El Nuevo Testamento se habla de una gran “iniciación” denominada Ascensión, sobre la cual nada sabemos. El Evangelio da únicamente muy pocos detalles y son: lo acontecido en la cima de la montaña y los observadores, y también sobre las palabras de Cristo, que les aseguraba que no los abandonaría. “Luego una nube Lo ocultó” (He. 1, 9). Ninguno de los presentes pudo seguirlo. Sus conciencias no podían penetrar hasta el lugar donde Él había decidido ir, e incluso interpretaron mal Sus palabras; solamente en un sentido vago y místico la humanidad ha comprendido Su desaparición, o la significación de su invisible pero perdurable Presencia. A los observadores se les aseguró, por intermedio de dos Conocedores de Dios, que estaban también presentes, que Él volvería nuevamente de la misma manera. Ascendió. La nube Lo recibió. Las nubes que hoy cubren nuestro planeta esperan revelarLo.
Ahora espera el momento de descender. El descenso a este acongojado mundo de los hombres no Le ofreció ningún cuadro seductor. Él ha esperado, guiado y vigilado, desde un lugar tranquilo en la montaña, a la humanidad, y ha entrenado a Sus discípulos, iniciados y al Nuevo Grupo de Servidores del Mundo. Ahora debe venir para ocupar Su lugar prominente en el escenario mundial y desempeñar Su parte en el gran drama que se está desarrollando allí. Esta vez no desempeñará su parte en la oscuridad como lo hizo antes, sino a la vista de todo el mundo. Debido a lo reducido de nuestro pequeño planeta, al predominio de la radio, la televisión ya la rapidez de las comunicaciones, Su actuación será observada por todos, y tal perspectiva le ha de producir cierta consternación, pues debe pasar por ciertas pruebas y también por grandes reajustes y por una experiencia penosa e inevitable.
No vendrá como el Omnipotente Dios de la ignorante creación del hombre, sino como el Cristo, el Fundador del Reino de Dios en la Tierra, para terminar el trabajo que Él comenzó, y nuevamente demostrar la divinidad en circunstancias mucho más difíciles.
Sin embargo, al Cristo lo hacen sufrir más sus allegados que el resto del mundo. El aspirante avanzado obstaculiza más Su trabajo que el pensador inteligente. No fue la crueldad en el mundo externo de los hombres lo que Le causó el profundo dolor, sino sus propios discípulos, además del masivo sufrimiento de la humanidad padecido durante su ciclo de vida que incluye el pasado, el presente y el futuro.
Vendrá a corregir los errores y las malas interpretaciones de quienes han osado interpretar sus sencillas palabras en términos de su propia ignorancia, ya reconocer a aquellos cuyo fiel servicio ha hecho posible Su retorno. Como preparación para recibir una gran iniciación está enfrentando también una gran prueba, y cuando haya pasado la prueba y cumplido Su tarea, ocupará un lugar más excelso en el Hogar del Padre, o irá a servir a un lugar lejano, donde sólo podrán seguirlo los más eximios seres. Su función actual será desempeñada por Aquel a quien Él ha preparado y entrenado.
Pero antes de que esto pueda suceder tendrá que entrar nuevamente a la palestra, desempeñar Su parte en los acontecimientos mundiales y demostrar el alcance de Su misión. Reunirá físicamente a Su alrededor a Sus asociados y asesores elegidos y no' serán aquellos que reunió en días primitivos, sino esos miembros de la familia humana que hoy Lo reconocen y se están preparando para trabajar con Él, en la medida de sus posibilidades. Planea retornar a un mundo muy distinto, debido en gran parte al desarrollo intelectual de las masas, presentándoLe enormes dificultades para cumplir inteligentemente la Voluntad de Dios en la Tierra; no sólo debe llegar a los corazones de los hombres (como lo hizo anteriormente) sitio a sus intelectos. Su trabajo principal consiste en establecer correctas relaciones humanas en todos los aspectos del vivir humano. Les pediría que usen la imaginación y traten de pensar en las implicaciones de la tarea que Le espera; reflexionen so-bre las dificultades que inevitablemente enfrentará y, sobre todo, la dificultad de cambiar el erróneo énfasis intelectual de las masas.
A Él, el representante del Amor de Dios, se le ha pedido que actúe nuevamente en la palestra mundial, donde su primer mensaje ha sido rechazado, olvidado y mal interpretado durante dos mil años; donde el odio y la separatividad han caracterizado a los hombres del mundo entero. Esto Lo precipitará a una atmósfera extraña ya una situación donde necesitará todos Sus recursos divinos y deberá ser probado al máximo. La idea generalmente aceptada de que regresará como un guerrero triunfante, omnipotente e irresistible, no tiene verdadera base. El hecho real de sólido fundamento, es que finalmente conducirá a Su pueblo, la humanidad, a Jerusalén, pero no a la ciudad judía llamada Jerusalén, sino al “lugar de paz” que es lo que significa la palabra Jerusalén.
Una consideración cuidadosa de la situación mundial actual y el constante uso de la imaginación, revelarán al pensador sincero la aterradora tarea que Él ha emprendido. Pero “Él volvió de nuevo su rostro para ir a Jerusalén” (Le. 9, 51). Cristo reaparecerá y llevará a la humanidad a una civilización ya un estado de conciencia donde las correctas relaciones humanas y la colaboración mundial en bien de todos, constituirán la tónica universal. A través del Nuevo Grupo de Servidores del Mundo y de los hombres de buena voluntad, se vinculará definitivamente con la voluntad de Dios (los asuntos de Su Padre), en tal forma, que la eterna voluntad al bien será traducida por la humanidad en buena voluntad y correctas relaciones. Entonces Su tarea se habrá cumplido; quedará libre para dejarnos de nuevo, pero esta vez no volverá; dejará a los hombres en manos de ese Gran Servidor espiritual que será el nuevo Guía de la Jerarquía, la Iglesia invisible.
Surge aquí el interrogante: ¿En qué forma podremos ser útiles? ¿Cómo podremos ayudar durante esta etapa preparatoria?
La tarea que desempeñan los miembros de la Jerarquía es enorme y los discípulos que están en contacto consciente con los Maestros de Sabiduría o, si se prefiere el término, con los discípulos avanzados del Cristo, trabajan día y noche a fin de establecer esa confianza, correcta actitud, comprensión de la empresa, o impulso espiritual divino para allanar su camino.
Ellos y sus grupos de discípulos, aspirantes y estudiantes de las realidades, permanecen unidos y detrás del Cristo, permitiéndole así cumplir Su propósito. Su mayor realización consiste en provocar una crisis cíclica en la vida espiritual de nuestro planeta, anticipada en el Hogar del Padre (Shamballa) hace miles de años. Ellos han registrado la realidad, por primera vez en la historia humana, de los tres centros o grupos espirituales, por medio de los cuales actúa Dios, y están enfocados en forma unida en el mismo objetivo. Shamballa, la Jerarquía espiritual y la Humanidad (el Hogar del Padre, el Reino de Dios Y el Mundo de los Hombres) están empeñados en un vasto movimiento para intensificar la Luz del Mundo. Esta Luz iluminará (en forma desconocida hasta ahora) no sólo el Hogar del Padre, fuente de nuestra luz planetaria, sino también el centro espiritual de donde han emanado los Instructores y los Salvadores mundiales que aparecieron ante los hombres y exclamaron, como lo hicieron Hermes, Buddha y Cristo: “Yo soy la Luz del mundo.” Esa luz inundará el mundo, iluminando las mentes de los hombres y alumbrando los lugares oscuros del vivir humano.
Cristo traerá luz y, por sobre todas las cosas, traerá “vida más abundante”, pero hasta que ello no se produzca no sabemos qué significa; no podemos darnos cuenta lo que implicará esta revelación ni las nuevas perspectivas que se abrirán ante nosotros. Por Su intermedio, la Luz y la Vida están en camino de ser interpretadas y aplicadas en términos de buena volun-tad y de correctas relaciones humanas. Con este fin se está preparando la Jerarquía espiritual. Esta vez Cristo no sólo lo hará con sus colaboradores. Su experiencia y la de Ellos será contraria a la anterior, pues todos los ojos Lo verán, todos los oídos Lo oirán y todas las mentes Lo juzgarán.
En el trabajo de reconstrucción que Cristo se propone realizar, podemos ayudar libremente si nos familiarizamos con los hechos que se exponen a continuación, haciéndolos conocer a todos aquellos con quienes estamos en contacto:
1. Que la reaparición de Cristo es inminente.
2. Que el Cristo, inmanente en todo corazón humano, puede ser evocado si reconocemos que reaparecerá.
3. Que las circunstancias de Su retorno están sólo relatadas en forma simbólica en las Escrituras mundiales; esto quizás produzca un cambio vital en las ideas preconce-bidas de la humanidad.
4. Que la principal preparación es que haya paz en el mundo, paz fundada en la buena voluntad cultivada, que conducirá inevitablemente a las correctas relaciones huma-nas y, por lo tanto, al establecimiento (hablando en sentido figurado) de líneas de luz entre una nación y otra, una religión y otra, un grupo y otro y un hombre y otro.
Si logramos hacer que se reconozcan en todo el mundo estas cuatro ideas, contrarrestando las críticas inteligentes de que todo lo que se dice es demasiado vago, profético y visionario, mucho habremos realizado. Es muy posible que el viejo axioma: “la mente es el matador de lo real”, pueda ser fundamentalmente cierto en lo que a las masas se refiere, y que el acercamiento puramente intelectual (que rechaza la visión y rehusa aceptar lo improbable) sea más falaz que el presentimiento de los Conocedores de Dios y de la multitud expectante.
La Jerarquía espiritual está investida de inteligencia divina y compuesta por aquellos que han reunido en Sí el intelecto y la intuición, lo práctico y lo aparentemente impráctico, y el actual modo de vivir y de ser, del hombre que tiene visión. En todos los sectores del vivir diario hay que buscar a esas perso nas que deben ser entrenadas para que reconozcan la divinidad en las respuestas esenciales del plano f sico a las nuevas expan siones de conciencia. El Cristo que retornar no ser igual al Cristo que aparentemente parti . No ser un var n de dolo res, ni una figura silenciosa y pensativa; har declaraciones espirituales que no ser necesario interpretar, ni ser n tergi versadas, porque l estar presente para explicar el verdadero significado.
Durante dos mil a os ha sido el Gu a supremo de la Iglesia Invisible, la Jerarqu a espiritual, compuesta de disc pulos de todos los credos. Reconoce y ama a quienes no son cristianos, pero mantiene su lealtad a los Fundadores de sus respectivas religiones Buddha, Mahoma, y otros. No le interesa el cre do que profesen, sino su objetivo, el amor a Dios ya la huma nidad. Si los hombres buscan al Cristo que dej a Sus disc pu los hace siglos, fracasar ny no reconocer n al Cristo que est en proceso de retornar. El Cristo no tiene barreras religiosas en Su conciencia, ni le da importancia a la religi n que profesa el hombre.
El Hijo de Dios est en camino y no viene solo. Su avan zada ya se acerca y el Plan que debe cumplir ya est trazado y aclarado. Que el reconocimiento sea el objetivo.
