As most of you know, the world today is going through a long and difficult transition period. It is the period given the terms Piscean and Aquarian Ages (from the Alice A Bailey books). The Piscean Age is coming to an end and the Aquarian Age is just beginning and will continue for the next 2500 years. So a new door is slowly opening and many new energies are pouring in; energies which are providing more light for human consciousness; a more lighted way to a more universal way of thinking and living. These universal energies impact the minds of all human beings today, yet everyone does not react in the same way to the ideals and ideas being presented; some are hanging on to the older ways developed in the Piscean age over the past 2000 years, while many others are drawn to the newer ideas now flowing in. These different reactions are what is now causing so much trouble in the world. The Piscean forces produced a rise of individualism, which during that age was a relatively good thing; but it also created the trend towards authoritarianism and dictatorship, not so good. So this negative trend created a long period of much conflict and wars throughout the world. All people in the world are impacted by these inflowing Piscean and Aquarian energies; but it is how each person reacts to these energies and forces that create the difference and is causing so many of the conflicts. Today, there are those people that want to hang on to the older, more material and individual way of living. Then there are others who want to create a more universal group way of building goodwill relationships to all nations in the world, especially those nations that need special medical care and an additional food supply. And the reactions to these different ways of thinking are producing so much corruption and clashing in human consciousness today.
And perhaps the greatest cause that is creating so much trouble is the love of money. As the Apostle Paul said: “the love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Timothy 6: 10). “But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and hurtful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction; it is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced their hearts with many pangs” (1Timothy 9). For the Apostle Paul this was a recognition 2000 years ago! So it’s an attitude handed down for many generations. Now of course everyone in the world needs a certain amount of money to survive; to provide food and clothing and a place to live. But the love of money is corrupting the consciousness of so many today that they want more and more of it for themselves. Money gives them power to control.
But now Aquarian energies are creating a new and more universal way of thinking about the flow of money. As many of you know, the last line of the Great Invocation says “Let light and love and power restore the Plan on earth.” This is of course the Plan of God. In essence, it is God’s ultimate vision of His creation of life on planet Earth. Of course everything is still evolving and we are not there yet. But the incoming energies of Aquarius are now and will continue to lift human consciousness upward and away from the current power of selfishness which is causing so much of the conflict in the world today. And an even greater response to these new energies will (sometime soon?) be the reappearance of the Christ.
“Aquarian energy will enable Christ to complete His task as World Saviour”(The Rays and the Initiations p. 232 by Alice Bailey). Also this: “The ground is being prepared at this time for the great restoration which the Christ will engineer….It is realized everywhere that new life must be pouring in, but this will take a new vision and a new approach to living conditions and this only the appearance of the Christ can teach and help us bring about. As an ancient Scripture says:
“That which has been a mystery shall no longer be so, and that which
has been veiled will now be revealed; that which has been withdrawn will
emerge into the light and will then enhance that light and all men will see
and together will rejoice. The time will come when destruction will have
wrought its beneficent work; the men, through suffering, will seek that
which they have discarded.”
So much today is conditioned by the Law of Cleavages: “Today, all men everywhere are conscious of the fact that the old order, the old cultures and civilizations are rapidly passing away, and they are universally clamouring for the new. Everywhere men are laying the foundation for the new order…Everything is crystallizing in human consciousness, and this takes place in order to make man aware of where he stands upon the ladder of evolution and of what is wrong and what is right” (The Rays and the Initiations, pp 596-597).
So, yes, the world is going through a difficult transition period; corruption and hatred are being expressed daily; dictators and authoritarians are hanging on to their desired positions of power and money is flowing their way. But so is the divine energy of Love pouring in to bring about an uplift and purification in human consciousness; a way of thinking that will eventually create a strong sense of world brotherhood among the majority of all human beings. It is preparation for Christ’s return and the establishing of a new world order and a new world religion. So do not be discouraged; just let your heart radiate this divine Love out into the world as a form of service to humanity. It is the loving voice of your Soul! DO IT.
