Avatars and Divine Intervention
from the Work of the Tibetan (Djwhal Khul), through Alice A. Bailey
In considering the subject of Avatars I
would like to point out that (from the standpoint of mankind at his present point in
evolution) Avatars are of two kinds, as might be expected when the consciousness of
humanity is subject to the control of the pairs of opposites. These two are:
1.Those Avatars Who are the embodiment of the
Angel of the Presence, whether that Presence is the [293] soul in man, the planetary
Logos, some extra-planetary Entity, some Cosmic Being, or an Expression of Cosmic
Good.
2.Those Avatars who are embodiments of the Dweller on the Threshold, whether that Dweller
is the human Dweller on the Threshold, planetary Forces of Materialism, or some Aspect of
Cosmic Evil.
Let me attempt to make this analogy a little
clearer. Just as in the case of individual man there comes a point in his life experience
when the Angel of the Presence is sensed, known, seen and recognized as the revealer of
divinity, so in the history of the race of men, the same great illumination may come.
Revelation confronts the aspirant. Revelation confronts humanity. God is known within the
human heart. God is known by mankind. This recognition of divinity in its varying aspects
is naturally a progressive one - each stage and each life bringing its own revelation of
the beauty of divinity and the glory of light more truly and clearly before the disciple.
Similarly, there come cycles wherein the Dweller on the Threshold appears and confronts
the aspirant, challenging his purpose and progress and blocking the door which leads to
expanded life and liberation. The Dweller challenges the freedom of the human soul. So it
is also in the life of a nation, a race, and humanity as a whole.
The Angel of the Presence indicates divine
possibility, reveals to the attentive disciple the next step towards liberation which must
be made, and throws light upon the immediate stage of the Path to Light which must be
trodden. So does the Avatar Who reveals the Lighted Way to humanity.
The Dweller on the Threshold summarizes in itself
the evil tendencies, the accumulated limitations and the sum total of the selfish habits
and desires which are characteristic of the material nature of the disciple. The Angel of
the Presence indicates the future possibility and the divine nature. So does the Avatar.
The Dweller on the Threshold indicates the past with its limitations and evil habits. So
[294] do those Avatars Who from time to time appear as the embodiments of evil and of the
lower nature of mankind. And, my brother, They do appear from age to age.
Some cycles in a disciple's life present one
aspect of a "confrontation" and some another. In one life he may be entirely
occupied with fighting the Dweller on the Threshold or with orienting himself to the Angel
of the Presence and permitting the divine conditioning energy to flow into him; he may be
succumbing to the influence of the dread sumtotal of his evil and material desires or he
may be drawing gradually nearer to the Angel. But - and this is the point of importance -
it is he himself who evokes one or other of these manifestations. So it is with humanity.
The call of humanity's soul, or of humanity's material nature, must evoke response, and
thus an Avatar can manifest. It is the magnetic appeal or the massed intent of the
disciple or of humanity which produces the manifestation. In other lives, the disciple may
simply swing between the two poles of his being, with no conscious effort, no direct
confrontation and no clear understanding of life purpose. So does humanity.
Eventually, however, there comes a life wherein
the disciple is confronted by both the Dweller and the Angel simultaneously and the major
conflict of his experience takes place. So it is today in the world. The spiritual and the
material are in conflict, and humanity itself is the battleground.
Again, a correspondence to the Doctrine of Avatars
can be seen in the disciple's individual life. When he has achieved right desire and has
made a true effort towards correct orientation, then - when the conflict between good and
evil is at its height - there comes a moment when he demands more light, more power, more
understanding, and liberation to take his next forward step. When he can make this demand
with firm intent and can stand steady and unafraid, response will inevitably come from the
very Presence Itself. A manifestation of light and love and power will stream forth.
Recognition of need has then evoked response. The conflict ceases; the Dweller departs to
his [295] own place; the Path ahead lies clear; the disciple can move forward with
assurance, and a better life dawns for him.

Book One The
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.

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

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.
