The Externalization of the Hierarchy - Section IV - Stages in the
Externalization





This approach of the central fact of human evolution - the
steady growth of divinity and the revelation through man of divine powers - will offset
the fanciful, fantastic presentation of the Hierarchy which has colored all the occult
movements and the various Theosophical and Rosicrucian presentations. The subject will be
presented in a manner acceptable and reasonable. It will not be a slower process, but the
reverse. The results of the old and foolish way of introducing the subject has greatly
retarded the intended work. Men, however, in the future, will accept with rapidity and
thankfully what is reasonable and which has its roots in the past, can be proven by
history, and which presents a true and possible hope for the future.It can be expected
that the orthodox Christian will at first reject the theories about the Christ which
occultism presents; at the same time, this same orthodox Christian [590] will find it
increasingly difficult to induce the intelligent masses of people to accept the impossible
Deity and the feeble Christ which historical Christianity has endorsed. A Christ Who is
present and living, Who is known to those who follow Him, Who is a strong and able
executive and not a sweet and sentimental sufferer, Who has never left us but Who has
worked for two thousand years through the medium of His disciples, the inspired men and
women of all faiths, all religions and all religious persuasions; Who has no use for
fanaticism or hysterical devotion but Who loves all men persistently, intelligently and
optimistically, Who sees divinity in them all and Who comprehends the techniques of the
evolutionary development of the human consciousness (mental, emotional and physical,
producing civilizations and cultures appropriate to a particular point in evolution) -
these ideas the intelligent public can and will accept.
They will
prepare and work for conditions in the world in which Christ can move freely among men, in
bodily Presence; He need not then remain in His present retreat in Central Asia. They can
and will accept with ease the unity of all faiths when the relationship of the Buddha and
the Christ is correctly presented; then the picture of a Christ demanding a unique
position, to the exclusion of all other sons of God, will fade out in the wonder of the
true apostolic succession, in which many sons of God, on different rays, of differing
nationalities and with varying missions, are to be seen historically leading humanity
along the path of divine unfoldment and nearer to God, the Source.
Temporarily, the fact of God Immanent will engross the attention of all true spiritual
teachers, and the fact of that divine immanence making itself felt in perfection through
the Christ and other divine Representatives will for a time relegate the teaching on God
Transcendent into the background. Undue emphasis has been placed on this major truth, to
the exclusion of the nearer and more practical truth of God in every man and in every form
in every kingdom in nature; much evil has eventuated by the failure to lay the emphasis
upon God Immanent. Later on, when the [591] truth of the Christ indwelling every man and
revealed in perfection through the historical Christ and His great Brothers down the ages
has been accepted, the teaching of God Transcendent, which is the secret mystery in the
custody of Shamballa, will be revealed and emphasized. The two halves of a perfect Whole
will then be recognized by humanity.
The key to
the Hierarchy and Its reappearance on earth in physical form, and the consequent
materialization of the kingdom of God among men, is the simple truth of God Immanent. It
is the clue to the evolutionary process, and the eternal hope of all forms in all kingdoms
in nature. This is the central truth, the convincing truth, and the revealing truth which
will underlie all information anent the Hierarchy, and this the coming generation of
disciples will distribute. If this truth is factual and possible of demonstration, then
the fact of the Hierarchy is proved and the authenticity of the eternal existence of the
kingdom of God on earth is established.
