Within the latest article entitled: “Second 12 months of the Sixth Septennium”, we quoted from the textual content “The Distant Objectives” (by E. Savoini) seven strains of thought on which a New World Faith, per the energies of the now approaching Age of Aquarius, might be based mostly.
Turning our gaze to the long run, which as all the time will astound us because it comes true, allow us to attempt to substantiate the primary of those propositions, which reads:
“On account of the absence, which might be extended, of the Sixth Ray, the brand new faith won’t be polarized on the emotional degree. The spiritual set-up just isn’t in itself essentially sentimental. The long run one will probably be certified by an excellent respect, honest and deep, for the freedom, life and consciousness of each creature: fewer tears of devotion, a extra real pleasure.”

Within the first paragraph of the ebook The Name, Grasp Morya says:
(…) “You and We—right here collectively in spirit.
One Temple for all—for all, One God.
Manifold worlds dwell within the Abode of the Almighty,
And the Holy Spirit soars all through.
The Renovation of the World will come—the prophecies might be fulfilled.
Individuals will come up and construct a New Temple.”
The Temple of the brand new Faith, the center of the One Humanity, will due to this fact be constructed basically by the individuals of the world, as an excellent and luminous thought-form, utilising the rising energies of Aquarius: the fifth Ray of the Thoughts and of Data and the seventh, of ceremonial Order and Magic, introduced by its ruler, Uranus.
Humanity, from its very beginnings, from the time males stood up and seemed as much as the heavens, recognized the divine with the Solar, the Moon, the celebrities, the forces of nature, attempting to elucidate the Thriller wherein it was immersed: the alternation of day and evening, the occasions of life, dying and what occurs afterwards. And from early on, quite a lot of individuals stood out within the numerous clans with particular private powers who acted as intermediaries for the varied deities and consequently acquired positions of energy.
All through the ages a closed and highly effective priestly caste (with the apparent exception of luminous examples of charitable abnegation and efficient knowledge) constituted itself because the guardian and middleman of the Teachings of the Masters and translated them for the individuals into decrees, prohibitions and guidelines of behaviour, the transgression of which entailed not solely the specter of divine punishment, but in addition roughly extreme punishments by the competent authorities. And the final regurgitations of that previous are nonetheless related at this time in some nations of the world, the place, nonetheless, the inhabitants (particularly girls, probably the most harassed) insurgent and invoke freedom.
Initially of the age of Pisces, with the exaltation of the energies of the second Ray of Love and Knowledge and the sixth Ray of Idealism and Devotion, because the human consciousness started to develop, Christ introduced the Educating of Love and entrusted it to the individuals of the world in a way so simple as it’s highly effective: “Love thy neighbour as thyself”, “Love thy enemy”… and we all know how that went down with holy wars, abuse and persecution. However the phrases of energy don’t move away, they continue to be as milestones pointing the best way and little by little they settle into the widespread consciousness.
Certainly, the historical past books don’t inform us that since time immemorial the Hierarchy of the Masters, adopted by a small a part of Humanity that’s extra developed and due to this fact responsive and collaborative, has been watching over the destiny of the human race, intervening on the most important moments and tirelessly pointing the method, one and manifold, again to the Father’s Home, within the nice cycle of the evolution of consciousness.
In the present day, the anthropocentric faith of prohibitions, of guilt, of self-inflicted struggling for the glory of God, of infantile and emotional religion (which has, nonetheless, additionally produced nice Mystics) is dropping energy as mankind is more and more selecting the psychological degree. As a substitute of hells (a thought now virtually completely out of date), purgatories or paradises foreseen on the finish of each existence, it’s turning into progressively evident that the continuity of life is a actuality, already a legacy of Japanese Teachings since antiquity, wherein manifest and unmanifest cycles alternate in order that the consciousness evolves, reincarnating beneath the impetus of karma, or the regulation of trigger/impact.
Even the division between purpose and religion, which was rightly launched within the West on the time of the Enlightenment as a result of the 2 fields had grow to be irreconcilable, is slowly being recomposed: probably the most superior science, exploring the Thriller with purpose, now finds solutions that come near these of religion, making them extra enlightening, exactly as a result of they’re additionally substantiated by psychological understanding.
The Italian thinker Norberto Bobbio, a father of secular thought who all the time outlined himself as a person of purpose and never of religion, wrote in his ‘final will and testomony’: “I think about myself neither an atheist nor an agnostic. As a person of purpose and never of religion, I do know that I’m immersed within the Thriller that purpose can not absolutely penetrate, and that the varied religions interpret in several methods”.
The last word Thriller will due to this fact proceed to be such and to draw human and photo voltaic minds and hearts, and it’s due to this fact puerile to divide us between believers and non-believers, between followers of 1 or one other Educating, since the Holy Spirit ascends all over the place.
The “spiritual” are and might be, due to this fact, these individuals who assume out of affection, who, actively working in any discipline, really feel above all else the necessity to perceive the deep which means of existence, asking inquiries to House and to the Masters or finding out the bodily legal guidelines of the Universe, or ‘merely’ bringing magnificence and pleasure into existence not out of a want to build up information, their private affirmation or an aesthetic pleasure, however to serve the Widespread Good by pouring water of life for thirsty males, in line with the motto of Aquarius, the signal of the brand new Age. And every will draw from it to the extent of his or her want, or invocation.
These ‘free Builders’ might be consciously telepathic and thus united via a robust interior community, and can naturally kind a Hierarchy of Service in continuity with that of the Masters of Knowledge.
The Masters of all occasions are the good Servers of mankind. Christ stated of Himself that He was ‘the final of the Servants’, and it’s attention-grabbing that only in the near past the present Pope affirmed that God is the primary Server, overturning our trendy considering that claims we who should serve Him. In actuality, Service is bestowed from Above and we must always ‘give up’ to His love and ‘imitate’ Him, permitting ourselves to be drawn by His Mild.
Within the chain of Service, mankind, the middleman between Heaven and Earth, is thus a lesser god referred to as upon to attract to itself the decrease kingdoms of nature over which it has jurisdiction, i.e. duty. On this method every part is held collectively and the return of the numerous to the One is assured.
The brand new Faith will due to this fact be based mostly on an understanding of the ability of Service which is an infinite technique of liberation. The capability to serve is immediately proportional to the growth of consciousness, and people who serve should all the time have empty palms in order that greater energies could fill them. An excerpt from Agni Yoga says: “Solely when every part is given are you able to obtain”. Thus is the method of giving regularly nourished. Thus does one evolve within the pleasure of the work.
Certainly, the keynote of the brand new Faith should be pleasure, that good bliss that St Francis defined to the world with lightness and refined humour:
- The enjoyment of infinite interior freedom conquered day-to-day.
- The enjoyment of self-giving within the nice Service.
- The enjoyment of collaborating to revive the divine Plan on Earth.
- The enjoyment of gratitude for the Great thing about creation and for human works.
- The enjoyment of understanding the ability of Thought.
- The enjoyment of common Brotherhood and Communion.
- The enjoyment of the work completed to assist construct the Temple of Man and the world: as a crystal, as a flower, as a Man, as a Solar.
That Grasp, imitating the Christ, additionally taught us, via His life, the particular pleasure that’s skilled in all conditions of shortage, materials difficulties, failures, misunderstandings, doubts, rejections and refusals and in every kind of trials in any respect ranges, which regularly carry out the directing energy of Religion, that’s, the expertise of the divine.
With our minds steadfast within the Mild and our hearts aflame with pleasure, allow us to due to this fact set, as One Humanity, on the aircraft of the enlightened and unifying thoughts, the inspiration stone of the thought-form that can outline the contours of the Temple of the brand new Faith, that the relieved and uplifted individuals intend to construct:
“Free motion of the thoughts, united within the pleasure of infinite Service”
“Smile—I grant you the enjoyment of spreading the Educating of Christ.
The enjoyment of conceiving the Greatness of the Universe,
The enjoyment of manifested labor,
The joyous fatigue of accomplishment.”
“Pleasure! There isn’t a current hour of happiness.
There’s the previous hour of happiness,
and there’s the long run hour of happiness.
The previous hour holds you,
And the long run hour attracts nearer.
I’ve ordained for you a time of future bliss.
Pleasure!
Naught that holds you is worthy.
Stay within the hour of future happiness.
Pleasure!”
(Agni Yoga Collection, The Name §153 and 339)
