- "In every age I come back to deliver the holy, to destroy the sin
of the sinner, to establish righteousness." So runs the well-known
passage in the Bhagavad Gita (translation by Prabhavananda and
Isherwood), giving works to an eternal hope in the human heart. In
this book the reappearance of the Christ is recognised as
inevitable within the continuity of divine revelation. Not only has
God never left Himself without witness, but at definite periods in
the history of human evolution, the "word of God", the projected
potency of His vital life, has manifested in form in order to
establish the principles to be demonstrated during the coming
cycle. There have been many such messengers over the ages,
manifesting through one or another of the great world religions or
followed by a new form of religion based on the new revelation.
Divine revelation and the periodic appearance of messengers, or
Avatars, occur, however, according to cosmic law, when certain
conditions exist within the whole scheme affected by, and
affecting, every part, large and small. Then a chain of events is
set in motion which under law must eventually work out. The part
that our little planet Earth plays in this intricate and smoothly
functioning system of inter-relationships seems to be of vital
importance at this time. The esoteric and planetary significances
of the reappearance of the Christ are suggested in this book as
underlying causes for His Aquarian service to humanity. This is the
beginning and end of an age - the beginning of Aquarius and the end
of Pisces - marking also a major turning point in the evolution of
human consciousness from individual need to the needs of humanity
as a whole, from personal salvation to world service, and from
materiality to spirituality. It seems that this climaxing
transition must be "marked" in both its stages, beginning and end,
by the Christ Himself, and a principle anchored in human
consciousness, which embodies not only the love of God established
for the age of Pisces, but also the new potency for the future, the
"Will" of God, into which only the Christ is as yet fully and
perfectly absorbed. The imminence of the reappearance of the Christ
is sensed and expected by many, belonging as He does to all
humanity irrespective of differing religious dogma and doctrine.
"He for whom all men wait" will Himself determine the manner and
the timing of His appearance and the area of His work in a way
which creates no divisions or separations between men, either
religious, social or ideological. Not only does He come as the
first Son of God, but as Head of the spiritual Hierarchy, the inner
government of the planet. He is, therefore, a great world
executive, representing the Kingdom of God, and fulfilling a
definite function in the world of men. He is coming to establish
through precept and example in world service the principles on
which a united, interdependent and interactive world may create its
new material systems and spiritual institutions for the new
civilisation. Preparation for the second coming is the
responsibility of humanity; it is for those who know and accept the
imminent return of the Christ to prepare men's minds and hearts to
recognise and receive Him, and to create those conditions of
balance and spiritual alignment which will ultimately draw Him
forth into our midst. For no matter what message or revelation the
Christ may embody when He comes, no matter what principle or energy
He may anchor on Earth for human use, He is not coming to save
humanity from the results of its own sins, but once more to show
humanity how to save itself in the new conditions and new
opportunities with which the world is faced. The books of Alice A.
Bailey, written in cooperation with a Tibetan teacher between
1919-1949, constitute a continuation of the Ageless Wisdom--a body
of esoteric teaching handed down from ancient times in a form which
is always suitable to each period. Intended to precede and
condition the coming era, the Alice A. Bailey writings offer an
unparalleled spiritual approach to such subjects as the teaching on
Shamballa and the Path of spiritual evolution; the spiritual
Hierarchy; the new discipleship and training in meditation as a
form of service; the teaching on the seven rays and the new
psychology of the soul; the teaching on esoteric astrology; and the
new world religion, which emphasizes the common thread of truth
linking all the major world faiths.
