Having been a student of the works of Alice Bailey for many years, I have often wondered what role the Masters of the Spiritual Hierarchy, the Divine Council[i], would take when some of Them appear in the material world. I had concluded that, initially, They would not be active on the National or International stage but would rather be working behind the scenes, acting as focal points and conduits of buddhic energy[ii] which would enable their Disciples and Initiates, some of whom are in prominent positions, to carry forward their agreed Projects in line with the Divine Plan for all the kingdoms of nature, not just for humanity. The Tibetan Master tells us that, after some the Masters have incarnated and have embedded Their Projects, the Christ, the Head of the Divine Council, will Himself incarnate as the Aquarian World Teacher,[iii] and age which lasts approximately 2160 years.
When the Christ last appeared over 2000 years ago, He only remained with humanity for a very short period of time, and focused His Project in the Holy Land, as His destiny intended. But what of His next appearance? I used to believe that in this incarnation, His role would be that of a prominent figure on the National or the International stage, and His impact would be greater and more immediate. But now I do not. Given the current state of World politics, the economic situation and rampant materialism, I do not believe such a high profile role would be practicable nor successful. Like the Masters who had previously incarnated, I now believe The Christ would act as a focal point, a conduit for atmic energy[iv], enabling Him to initiate more long term goals in line with the Purpose of the Supreme Council[v]. He will also subjectively aid specific disciples and initiates under His jurisdiction, in their respective Projects. His work would therefore be far more subjective than objective during the Aquarian Age. There is much debate as to when the Aquarian Age begins. Some esotericists believe it began at the end of World War II; others say it will start some 100 years from now. The Tibetan doesn't give us a start date. Some light on the timing of appearance of the Masters and The Christ in the material world may be gleaned from passages from "Esoteric Psychology" vol.1 and "Esoteric Astrology" by Alice Bailey. In those works, the Tibetan Master tell us that there are three decanates in Aquarius, and that during the first decanate, governed by the planet Saturn, there will be "a dividing of the ways" and humanity will be given the opportunity to undergo a period of self-discipline. It will also present aspirants to discipleship with the opportunity to face difficult situations and crises which will gradually engender higher levels of Personality integration, with a consequent deeper sense of purpose and creativity in their respective fields of service. Astrologers tells us this cycle of activity will last some 720 years. The Tibetan goes on to say that in the second decanate, ruled by the planet Mercury, the incoming Light will bring about mental and spiritual illumination and enable greater numbers of disciples to bring about a closer fusion between their Personality and the Higher Self. They will also gain an esoteric perspective on World history as they come to understand "the significance of events, and to relate the old and the new, the past and the future through the light of the present[vi]." The Tibetan also tell us that there will be a more accurate interpretation of the Ancient Mysteries such as those given to humanity in the works of Helena Blavatsky, Alice Bailey and others. This period will also last some 720 years. Referencing the third decanate of Aquarius, governed by the planet Venus, the Tibetan Master tell us that if the aspirants, disciples and initiates have measured up to their opportunity in the two previous decanates, a vast numbers of individuals will be seeking to attain and express higher states of consciousness, the group and not the individual, will become the focus of their attention, and co-operation will gradually take the place of competition. It seems to me that if the goals of the Divine Council, as expressed by the Tibetan regarding the decanates of Aquarius, are to be fulfilled, we will need many Aspirants, Disciples and Initiates in incarnation during the 1st decanate. To increase, and then stabilise the forces and energies available during this period, we will also need more of the Masters in incarnation at strategic locations across the globe. It seems reasonable to believe that during this decanate, The Christ will also need to be in incarnation, initially working behind the scenes. If the purpose of the Divine Council is to be realised for the Aquarian Age, the Christ may need take His place on the World Stage and implement His short term Projects during the first decanate. If that were not possible, He would have to decide whether it was worth appearing as a prominent individual at all. If He does so, I do not believe He will remain so for long. And when His Mission is complete, He will make His way to the place where His destiny calls Him. C.P. Footnotes: [i] The Divine Council plans and guides the evolution of all Nature’s Kingdoms, including the Human. It is made up of a group of individuals called the Masters of the Wisdom, who are “those members of humanity who have triumphed over matter, who have achieved the goal of self-mastery by the same path that individuals tread today. These spiritual personalities have wrestled and fought for victory and mastery upon the physical plane, and struggled with the miasmas, fogs, and dangers, troubles and sorrows of everyday living.” They are the custodians of the Divine Plane, which is implemented by its agents and disciples. Lucis Trust [ii] The energy of Buddhi is the energy of the intuition. “Intuition is a comprehensive grip of the principle of universality, and when it is functioning there is, momentarily at least, a complete loss of the sense of separateness. At its highest point, it is…an identification with all beings” “Intuition is light itself, and when it is functioning, the world is seen as light and the light bodies of all forms become gradually apparent. This brings with it the ability to contact the light centre in all forms, and thus again an essential relationship is established and the sense of superiority and separateness recedes into the background.” Alice Bailey, Esoteric Psychology, Vol. II, pp. 125 - 133 [iii] Each world period has had a World Teacher. Mithra was the world teacher for the age of Taurus, while the Buddha was the world teacher for the Age of Aries. The Christ was the World Teacher for the Piscean Age and, for the first time, will take on the role for a second age, the Age of Aquarius. [iv] Atmic energy is the energy of the divine Will. It is an expression of the “dynamic electrical energy of life itself, of embodied Purpose expressing through evolutionary manifestation” throughout all the Kingdoms of Nature and Humanity.

It is located at Shamballa, which is a state of supremely high-grade consciousness, anchored over the Gobi Desert. The Head of the Council, Sanat Kumara, is referred to as the Lord of the World. His Will and Purpose is transmitted to the Divine Council for implementation. [vi] Esoteric Astrology; Alice Ann Bailey; Lucis Publishing Companies; p149
