This book is a sequel to A Vision of the Aquarian Age first
published by Coventure Books in 1977. In that volume discussion of
the meaning and role of the Christ Impulse in our present age was
somewhat deliberately suppressed for fear of drawing negative
reactions in certain quarters. Many readers did however detect the
omission, which stands like an empty hole in the argument of the
book. In the present volume I have tried to set this right. My hope
however is that this in no way makes the book sectarian in its
nature. It is concerned with the holistic world-picture and its
application to current problems, for axiomatically the Oneness
Vision must touch and colour every aspect of our living. It is
concerned with the coming of the Light, the prospect of the
redemption of mankind by the forces of higher intelligence in the
living universe. This implies God ubiquitous and in action.
Furthermore it implies the Blakean conception of a spiritual sun
behind the physical sun, the focus of operation of the Elohim, the
highest beings of spiritual Light. The Lord of all these is known
in esoteric knowledge as the Christos and by other names in other
religions. But all recognize this over-lighting source which can
reach and be in personal touch with all souls of every race and
creed, just as the physical sun warms all our bodies. Thus the
concept of the Cosmic Christ is central to the holistic vision and
this has little to do with any sectarian thinking in any particular
church. It must be a vital strand of our world view, and my hope is
that it will not be taken as narrow dogma. I have also referred not
infrequently to the thinking of Rudolf Steiner, since this is the
approach which I personally found most meaningful and inspiring.
Again my hope is that even for those who are not anthroposophists,
these comments will help clarify basic issues in our dramatic time.
Steiner achieved an intensification of intuitive thinking which
enabled him to explore into the spiritual worlds in a manner
consonant with scientific method, and to give us his findings in a
great structure of clear thoughts which in no sense have a
mediumistic character. Thus in our age of breakthrough, when
spiritual knowledge is flooding from so many sources, the body of
Steiner's thinking may stand as a kind of touchstone which can
prove of deep significance to many different movements concerned
with the spiritual awakening of the New Age. Ours is an age of
dramatic and even sensational change. The great theme is that there
can be no renewal without a dying process, no death without
resurrection. Thus events in the coming two decades are likely to
be apocalyptic in nature. This implies what I have called
'Operation Redemption', a supreme hope that tribulation and
cleansing change are a prelude to a new dawn.
