Christ’s Unique Occasion – From “The Reappearance of the Christ” by Alice Bailey, Part 1 of 2

Alice Bailey was an extraordinary British American esoteric author of the 20th century. Born in 1880, Alice Bailey, in her youth, was a devoted Christian who later developed an extensive knowledge and practice of Theosophy. In 1919, at the age of 39, she began a spiritual journey of inner telepathic communications with the Great Ascended Master Djwal Khul, also called “The Tibetan” or “Master D.K.” Over the next three decades, until the end of her life, the Master thus transmitted ancient teachings of the Ageless Wisdom to His chosen disciple, which she diligently recorded as 19 books. In addition, Alice Bailey wrote other profound books on her own. We will now read an excerpt from Alice Bailey’s Chapter Two – “Christ’s Unique Occasion,” from her book entitled, “The Reappearance of the Christ.” “The resurrection period, which the Christ will inaugurate and which will constitute His unique work — within which all His other activities will have their place — will be the outcome of the fermentation and the germination going on in the world of men at this time, of which the many conferences are the outer evidence.” “It was the dawning of this significance of the will of God upon the consciousness of the Christ, which led Him to certain great decisions, and which forced Him to cry out: ‘Father, not my will but Thine be done.’ These words definitely indicate conflict and do not indicate the synchronization of the two wills; they indicate the determination on the part of the Christ that there should be no opposition between His will and that of God. Suddenly, He received a vision of the emerging, divine intention for humanity and — through humanity — for the planet as a whole. At the particular stage of spiritual development, which Christ had then attained and which had made Him the Head of the spiritual Hierarchy, the One who engineered the emergence of the Kingdom of God and established Him as the Master of all the Masters and the Teacher of angels and of men, His consciousness was absolutely at one with the divine Plan; its application on Earth and its goal of establishing the Kingdom of God and the appearance of the fifth kingdom in nature was simply for Him the fulfilling of the law, and to that fulfilment His entire life was and had been geared.”
