It is a truism in esoteric thought that whatever manifests in our 3 dimensional world has first been conceived and intended upon the inner levels of consciousness.
Whether it be a political revolution, an invention or even a fashion trend, everything that emerges into the light of day has been visualised and designed by its creator/s at a more subtle level. That level may be the spiritual, mental or astral (desire) level & the quality and the creator may be an individual, or more likely a group of thinkers or visionaries.
It has become clear to me in recent times that what we are witnessing in the world at present is the externalisation of the lower astral plane. This is the level of conciousness where the lower desires & emotions that have been created by each of us remain, until the opportunty occurs for them to remanifest. While the product of the mental plane is of a higher order, the astral plane is illusionary and unreal and keep us bound to the unreal. Hence the sense of unreality and frenzy that current trends express.
When we look at how everything has become tinged with violence, become sexualised, how greed and self-interest have become king, it suddenly makes sense that this is what is happening. And obviously enough the vehicles for this emanation of the astral plane into the physical are the media, marketers, PR and other people who wish to influence & sell their products, whether it be a pop star, movie or consumable.
Just as when a boil is lanced & the pus is released, so we are now experiencing the release of all the suppressed desires, emotional pain and negative imaginings that Humanity has generated over time. As confusing and distressing as this trend is for sane people to witness, it is as necessary for our world as the catharsis that occurs when a person undergoes psychotherapy. In that situation the person releases the pain, supressed desires and traumas that have been held in their subconscious. Only after this release can they find peace and become more whole, because they are now aware of a larger consciousness.
And so in the case of the whole of Humanity, this current outbreak of illusion and insidious glamour, presages the externalisation of the Spiritual Hierarchy. Members of the Hierarchy are normally contacted through meditation & invocation upon the higher mental level, that of the soul. But we have been told by the Master DK that they are re-emerging into the world. Not to save us, because we must save ourselves, but simply to demonstate a better way and promote new initiatives in the field of politics, education and the other fields of living.
Hence, the crises, madness, confusion and distress that is occuring is an indicator that this release of the astral is occuring and that the externalisation of the wisdom of the higher mental plane will follow on from it. In the meantime let us be discerning in what we ingest of the world's delusion and continue to serve in our chosen fields in order to prepare the way for those of our elder Brothers and Sisters who have already become what we are each destined to become... the Way, the Truth & the Life.
