Getting Hooked Up With

The Inner Net

an excerpt...

...We are in the habit, based on thousands of years of conditioning, of believing that god, or heaven or Hierarchy is "out of this world." It is a "someplace else" place. I mean, it’s not here. It’s sort of up there in the sky.
I do not mean to imply that heaven is not up there. Over the past thousands of years, such an other place has been universally sensed by human beings. And, the belief that heaven exists is at the core of the countless cultures, and civilizations, of the too numerous to count religions, and of untold treasures of art, of song, of poetry. This other place has been and is now a source of the good, the beautiful and the true. No matter how one refers to it, this "other place" is common to the collective psyche of humanity.

However, this "someplace else" place, was always, literally, out of reach for incarnated humans. During the 6th Ray dominated Piscean Age, we made ideals of heaven, and idols of what we conceived it to be. We held it away from ourselves - kept it distant and unreachable.

Today, to me, admittedly in retrospect, this whole thing seems to have been an incredible, ages long psychological game we played on ourselves. It seems easy to recognize that if anyone actually opens himself to any of the great art, ancient or modern, or reads the plays of Sophocles or the poetry of Shakespeare, the truth of the art, the poetry of the poetry happens within. Our relationship with Truth, whether it is in our meditations, in art or just in the beauty of nature or other human beings, our relationship is something that goes on within ourselves. It does not happen outside of us or away from us in some other place up there or out there. The rapture of the relationship with Truth no matter how the door way into it is presented to us, is the rapture of a union. It is the recognition within that we are that. We come together with it. Separation disappears. This speaks to us of the god within us, god immanent not transcendent.

So friends, I have come to this interesting conclusion. We have, or at least, I have, been going about the process of trying to reveal the fact of Hierarchy using outmoded models and methodology. ... The model is that Hierarchy is this group of guys who hang out in this "someplace else" place, and they are fixing to appear in this place. The technique is to try to convince people that these guys actually do exist— albeit in this other place and even though only specialized people ever see them—that they have always existed, as the art and culture of the Race proves, and that just as soon as things are "right", they will show up and save us all.

I do believe, for at least a couple of reasons, that this scenario is never going to play. First, as of tonight, it has not been successful. And second, that which is transcendent must always be and will always be transcendent. There is no way to bring the transcendent God to earth. I mean, the fact of His transcendence militates against his appearance.

So, we need a new model and a new technique. Here is the model. "The key to the Hierarchy and It’s reappearance on earth in physical form, and the consequent materialization of the kingdom of God among men, is the simple truth of God Immanent." 
Externalization of the Hierarchy, P 59 Bailey

Earth is the unfolding of One Idea. The name of this idea is Love, and because we are a part of this unfolding we all have within ourselves at our very core a fragment of this idea, a fragment of Love. This is God immanent. This is our essential divinity, this is the Christ within, the hope of glory. In this model, Christ is the Hierarchy. I do not mean the being that holds this office, I mean the sum total of the consciousness we call Christ, the Love in the world, is Hierarchy. When we touch this reality, we become aware of the fact of Hierarchy, of the fact of Love, of the next or 5th level of consciousness. As we know, "Love governs the Way into the life of the Hierarchy and is the foundation for all approach to, and appreciation and acceptance of truth." A.A.Bailey - A Treatise on the Seven Rays Vol. V P46

Then, to the degree that we can implement that consciousness in living forms, in our daily lives, we reveal the Love that is within the world. We become a member of the 5th Kingdom or spiritual Hierarchy… thus will the Hierarchy be externalized. It’s evolution, a gradual but unstoppable juggernaut of Love.

So, the transcendent can not be externalized. We can externalize only that which is immanent. As far as I can tell, this is the only way the Hierarchy will ever be revealed or externalized. This is the point, to be able to implement consciousness of the 5th Kingdom on the dense physical plane, one must be able to recognize that reality within ones self. We need to be hooked up with the inner net.

So, the deal is that we need to turn people on, not to some master or group of space guys who might show up some day, but to the God within their own equipment. We need to turn ourselves on to ourselves. Remember, Principle, Truth, is. Evolution is the unfolding Plan. We already are hierarchs, it was built in, came with the first Plan. We just have to realize that, then we can reveal it in the lower three worlds.

On a one-on-one level, we all have to work this out for ourselves. One way to try is to speak to the spirit within every one we meet. Go right to Christ. By going right to Christ, I mean go to love, go to the honest, gentle, strong, caring, understanding part of everyone you encounter. If we are absolutely, unequivocally certain that this inner God exists, there is no way we can miss hooking up with the God in every person and everything we encounter. The way one becomes absolutely and unequivocally sure is to face and embrace his or her own essential divinity. When we are in Love, we are in perfect tune with the One Chord, perfect synchronicity with the One Motion, perfect synthesis with the One Life. From this point anything to which we give our attention will serve only the One Chord, Motion, Life.

When we have made a little headway in this work, not even a lot, just a little will be enough, the Christ, the Avatar of love will have made his reappearance, for when we are loving, we are expressing our Christ, our essential divinity. We are being Gods. In this system Love is what Gods are.

The Great Unfolding will take on a life of its own. Like a snowball, all we need to do is get it rolling. Once we do this, we will begin to see the wonder of the following: And I would remind you here of the Word for Capricorn… "Lost am I in the Light supernal, yet on that light I turn my back."
"When the Christ, the Avatar of Love, makes His reappearance then will the,

‘Sons of men who are now the Sons of God withdraw Their faces from the shining light and radiate that light upon the sons of men who know not yet they are the Sons of God. Then shall the Coming One appear, His footsteps hastened through the valley of the shadow by the One of awful power Who stands upon the mountain top, breathing out love eternal, light supernal and peaceful, silent Will.

‘Then will the sons of men respond. Then will a newer light shine forth into the dismal, weary vale of earth. Then will new life course through the veins of men, and then will their vision compass all the ways of what may be.

‘So peace will come again on earth, but a peace unlike aught known before. Then will the will-to-good flower forth as understanding, and understanding blossom as goodwill in men.’" The Reappearance of the Christ
