This Law is the major corollary of the
Law of Evolution. It has never been grasped or properly understood
in the West and, in the East, where it is acknowledged as a
governing principle of life, it has not proved useful because it has
been soporific in its effect, and a detriment to progress. The
Eastern student regards it as giving him plenty of time; this has
negated the driving effort to achieve a goal. The average Christian
confuses the Law of Rebirth with what he calls "the transmigration
of souls" and frequently believes that the Law of Rebirth signifies
the passing of human beings into the bodies of animals or of lower
forms of life. Such is by no means the case. As the life of God
progresses onwards through form after form, that life in the
subhuman kingdoms of nature proceeds progressively from mineral
forms into vegetable forms, and from these vegetable forms into
animal forms; from the animal form stage, the life of God passes
into the human kingdom, and becomes subject to the Law of Rebirth
andnotthe
law of Transmigration. To those who know something of the Law of
Rebirth or of Reincarnation, the mistake seems ridiculous.
The doctrine or theory of
reincarnation strikes the orthodox Christian with horror; yet if one
asks him the question which the disciples asked Christ about the
blind man, "Master, did this man sin or his fathers that he was born
blind?" (John IX.2), they refuse the implications; or they express
amusement or dismay as the case may be. The presentation to the
world of the thought by the average occult or theosophical exponent
has been, on the whole, deplorable. It has been deplorable because
it has been so unintelligently presented. The best that can be said
is that they have familiarized the general public with the theory;
had it, however, been more intelligently presented, it might have
been more generally accepted in the West.
If the goal of right human relations
will be taught universally by the Christ, the emphasis of His
teachingmust be
laid upon the Law of Rebirth. This is inevitably so, because in the
recognition of this law will be found the solution of all the
problems of humanity, and the answer to much of human questioning.
This doctrine will be one of the
keynotes of the new world religion, as well as the clarifying agent
for a better understanding of world affairs. When Christ was here,
in person, before, He emphasized the fact of the soul and the value
of the individual. He told men that they could be saved by the life
of the soul, and of the Christ within the human heart. He said also
that "except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God."
(John III.3.) Onlysoulscan
function as citizens of that kingdom, and it was this privileged
functioning that He held, for the first time, before humanity, thus
giving men a vision of a divine possibility and an unalterable
conclusion to experience. He told them to "Be ye, therefore,
perfect, even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect." (Matt.
V.48.)
This time, He will teach men the
method whereby this possibility can become accomplished fact—through
the constant return of the incarnating soul to the school of life on
Earth, there to undergo the perfecting process of which He was the
outstanding example. That is the meaning and teaching of
reincarnation. Dane Rudhyar, in his bookNew
Mansions for New Men, page 123, gives a satisfying definition of
this mysterious cosmic and human process. He says that "The
individual structure of the new manifestation is necessarily
conditioned by the unfulfillment of the past; by the remains, the
failures of the past—preserved in the records of nature in the
memory of universal substance." The whole story—yours and mine and
that of everyone—is covered in those few words.
It should be remembered that
practically all the occult groups and writings have foolishly laid
the emphasis uponpastincarnations
and upon their recovery; this recovery is incapable of any
reasonable checking—anyone can say and claim anything they like; the
teaching has been laid upon imaginary rules, supposed to govern the
time equation and the interval between lives, forgetting that time
is a faculty of the brain-consciousness and that, divorced from the
brain, time is non-existent; the emphasis has always been laid upon
a fictional presentation of relationships. The teaching (hitherto
given out on reincarnation) has done more harm than good. Only one
factor remains of value: the existence of a Law of Rebirth is now
discussed by many and accepted by thousands.
Beyond the fact that there is such a
law, we know little and those who know from experience the factual
nature of this return reject earnestly the foolish and improbable
details, given out as fact by the theosophical and occult bodies.The
Law exists; of the details of its working we know as yet nothing.
Only a few things can be said with accuracy about it and these few
warrant no contradiction:
1. The Law of Rebirth is a great
natural law upon our planet.
2. It is a process, instituted and
carried forward under the Law of Evolution.
3. It is closely related to and
conditioned by the Law of Cause and Effect.
4. It is a process of progressive
development, enabling men to move forward from the grossest
forms of unthinking materialism to a spiritual perfection and an
intelligent perception which will enable a man to become a
member of the Kingdom of God.
5. It accounts for the differences
among men and—in connection with the Law of Cause and Effect
(called the Law of Karma in the East)—it accounts for
differences in circumstances and attitudes to life.
6. It is the expression of the
will aspect of the soul and is not the result of any form
decision; it is the soul in all forms which reincarnates,
choosing and building suitable physical, emotional and
mental vehicles through which to learn the next needed lessons.
7. The Law of Rebirth (as far as
humanity is concerned) comes into activity upon the soul plane.
Incarnation is motivated and directed from the soul level, upon
the mental plane.
8. Souls incarnate in groups,
cyclically, under law and in order to achieve right relations
with God and with their fellowmen.
9. Progressive unfoldment, under
the Law of Rebirth, is largely conditioned by the mental
principle for "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." These
few brief words need most careful consideration.
10. Under the Law of Rebirth, man
slowly develops mind, then mind begins to control the feeling,
emotional nature, and finally reveals the soul and its nature
and environment to man.
11. At that point in his
development, the man begins to tread the Path of Return, and
orients himself gradually (after many lives) to the Kingdom of
God.
12. When—through a developed
mentality, wisdom, practical service and understanding—a man has
learnt to ask nothing for the separated self, he then renounces
desire for life in the three worlds and is freed from the Law of
Rebirth.
13. He is
now group conscious, is aware of his soul group and of the soul
in all forms and has attained—as Christ had requested—a stage of
Christlike perfection reaching unto the "Measure of the stature
of the fullness of the Christ." (Eph. IV.13.)
Beyond this generalization, no
intelligent person will attempt to go. When Christ reappears, our
knowledge will become more true and realistic; we shall know that we
are eternally related to the souls of all men, and that we have a
definite relationship to those who reincarnate with us, who are
learning with us the same lessons and who are experiencing and
experimenting with us. This proven and accepted knowledge will
regenerate the very sources of our human living. We shall know that
all our difficulties and all our problems are caused by our failure
to recognize this fundamental Law, with its responsibilities and
obligations; we shall then gradually learn to govern our activities
by its just and restraining power. The Law of Rebirth embodies the
practical knowledge which men need today to conduct rightly and
correctly their religious, political, economic, communal and private
lives and thus establish right relations with the divine life in all
forms.

astray by ignorance. If you ponder this truth always you will offer
more light, rather then blame and condemnation.You, no less than all beings have Buddha [Christ/Krishna/God

when defilements cause you to stumble and fall, let not remorse nor
dark foreboding cast you down. Be of good cheer and with this
understanding, summon strength and walk on.Faith is like a lamp and wisdom makes the flame burn bright.
Carry this lamp always and in good time the darkness will yield and

Call
Into the New World my first message.
You who gave the Ashram,
And you who gave two lives,
Proclaim.
Builders and warriors, strengthen the steps.
Reader, if you have not grasped — read again,
after a while.
The predestined is not accidental,
The leaves fall in their time.
And winter is but the harbinger of spring.
All is revealed; all is attainable.
I will cover you with My shield,
if you but tend to your labors.
I have spoken.
There is no salvation
surer than that through devotion. One can
forgive much where there is unswerving devotion.
The man who is devoted in heart can be relied
upon. It is cause for rejoicing when Hierarchy
is upheld by devotion. At present it is
especially needed. If yesterday's confusion
seemed enormous, what can one say of tomorrow's?
I have already prepared you for the growth ofArmageddon,
and you know that the black wings of darkness
will not withstand the Fiery Sword. Be not
astonished, the Battle increases!

If we compare two
individuals, of whom one dissipates the vital substance while
the other consciously conserves it, we will be amazed at how
much more sensitive the spiritual apparatus of the second
becomes. The quality of his labors becomes entirely different,
and the quantity of his projects and ideas multiplies. The
centers of the solar plexus and brain are being heated, as it
were, by an invisible fire.

Benjamin Creme discusses the emergence of Maitreya, The World Teacher
Maitreya Dancing in Karbala (believe it or
not!)
The
"Horseman" appears @ 1:23:
Kalki Avatar with the sword of cleavage
"In Hinduism, Kalki (Devanagari: कल्कि; meaning 'Eternity,' 'White
Horse,' or 'Destroyer of Filth') is the final incarnation of Vishnu
[Maitreya, the World Teacher] in the current Mahayuga, foretold to
appear at the end of Kali Yuga [now!]...the Puranas foretell that
Kalki will be atop a white horse with a drawn blazing sword. He is
the harbinger of the end time in Hindu eschatology, after which he
will usher in Satya Yuga [New Age]."Source:
Wikipedia
"When Maitreya comes before
the worldthere
will begin for men a period of intense heart-searching and
reflection. It is only to be expected that for many it will be a
painful, even traumatic, one. So steeped in the ways and ideas
of the past, so fearful of a future unknown and strange, are
millions today, that men will want to take stock of the new
situation which will then pertain…. When Maitreya first
announces His plans and hopes for the rehabilitation of the
world, His energy of Love – the Sword of Cleavage – will further
delineate the divisions which now exist. Men will take sides –
for or against the new principles that He will present for the
betterment of all. Thus will it be. Thus will a period of
discord and discontent precede the acceptance of the new.
Gradually, however, even the least sanguine will acknowledge the
need for a reconstructed world and add their weight to the task.
"There will begin a time unlike aught seen before on Earth. On
every hand and at every level the changes will pursue their
logical course, cementing in law and principle and form the
aspirations of all. Thus will men regain a hold on their destiny
and turn away for ever from the abyss. (The Master -- from
‘Coping with change’)
=========================================
The Sword of Cleavage is the energy of Love. As people respond
to this energy the world will be divided – those who are
clamouring for change along the lines Maitreya is advocating,
and those who are fearful and looking to the past, who see Him
as the Antichrist, are fearful and do not know what to do. They
will stand aside and watch the events, and so lose the
opportunity presented, for the first time in history, to take
part in the transformation of the world. It is up to each
individual, from where he or she stands, to assert their
divinity. (Benjamin Creme, The Awakening of Humanity)
=========================================
"Much that is loved must go. Cling
not to the old forms. Much will depend on man’s ability to
renounce these outworn structures, and to create a new and
simpler world. Remember this. Forget not that I come to change
all things. My Coming brings peace. Likewise, My Presence brings
cleavage. My Sword, that Love which I am, will separate all men,
will show the True from the false, will clear the way for the
New Light which I bring. May it be that you can withstand this
change and accept My Light. (Maitreya, from Message No.74)

In an interview
with the German author Peter Andreas, the scientist Prof. G.
Quispel expresses his amazement that the demonstrably wrong
ideas on this subject have not been abandoned:
"I am constantly astonished
to see that people still do not appear to know what has been
recognized for one and a half centuries: that the beast
from the Apocalypse refers to none other than the Caesar,
Nero. Only the later Christian church, in the time of
Constantine (325 AD), put the Apocalypse into a future,
historical time-frame."(From:Was

666 -- and other misunderstandings
http://www.share-international.org/archives/agelesswisdom/aw_pl666.htm
One of the easiest ways to know me, Maitreya says, is to
be
honest in your mind, be sincere in your spirit, and practice detachment. Any
action performed with dishonesty of mind, an insincere spirit and attachment
is destructive. For example, when you think one thing, say another, and do
something which is different again, you are lost. Honesty of mind leads to
honest speech and honest action. This harmony leads to peace and happiness.
Without detachment there is no salvation.
Be what you are. Do not surrender your self-respect, your
dignity, to others. Do not allow anyone to cast his shadow over you. A
Master gives experiences, but does not cast his shadow.
Do not follow one another. If you practice honesty of mind,
sincerity of spirit and detachment, you will know me, you will know the
Lord.
