The Plan for Earth

The plan is not fully understandable from the dense physical. 

But I am reminded of several lines from a Treatise on White Magic, published in 1934 by Alice A. Bailey. 

What is the plan?  When I speak of the plan of evolution or the plan for humanity which we call by the somewhat unmeaning term of soul unfoldment.  These two aspects of the scheme for our planet are taken for granted, and are but modes, processes and means to a specific end.  The plan as at present sense, and for which the Masters are steadily working, might be defined as follows: - It is the production of a subjective synthesis in humanity and of a telepathic interplay which will eventually annihilate time.  It will make available to every man all past achievements and knowledges, it will reveal to man the true significance of his mind and brain and make him the master of that equipment and will make him therefore omnipresent and eventually open the door to omniscience.  This next development of the plan will produce in man an understanding – intelligent and cooperative – of the divine purpose for which the One in Whom we live and move and have our being has deemed it wise to submit to incarnation. 

            -Djwhal Khul, A Treatise on White Magic,  pg 403-4

This statement is fascinating and I first used it in a presentation in 1978.  Taken literally, it means the achievement of soul consciousness in humanity.  This is retrieving the birthright of humanity, i.e. its existence as naively described in the Garden of Eden.  While it was not the original plan for humanity to come into the physical, the choice was made.  All of evolution and the system of reimbodiment and karma are oriented to retrieving what was lost. 

The “fall of man” created a delay in the process of evolution.  The Catholics call it original sin - in which the connection to our source was lost, which infects the physical plane existence we experience today.

The statement, ”One in Whom we live and move and have our being,” refers to the Planetary Logos - the sum-total of the essential life of the planet.  It is that great being, of which we are all a part, has come into embodiment, or manifestation.

So one of the most important things we can all do, is to hold the line or link to the Godhead.  The degree or relative imperfection of this connection is unimportant.  What counts in the subtle infiltration of higher consciousness into the lower levels.  This will undermine the status quo eventually. 

At this time, a gradual process is no longer acceptable and must be accelerated.  Hence, the pressure of light we are experiencing. 

Humanity is destined to go beyond suffering, but not in the way the ego thinks.  One of the ego’s many erroneous assumptions, one of its many deluded thoughts is “I should not have to suffer.”  Sometimes the thought gets transferred to someone close to you:  “My child should not have to suffer.”  That though itself lies at the root of suffering.  Suffering has a noble purpose:  the evolution of consciousness and the burning up of the ego.   The man on the cross is an archetypal image.  He is every man and every woman.  As long as you resist suffering, it is a slow process because the resistance creates more ego to burn up. When you accept suffering, however, there is an acceleration of that process which is brought about by the fact that you suffer consciously.  You can accept suffering for yourself, or you can accept it for someone else, such as your child or parent.  In the midst of conscious suffering, there is already the transmutation.  The fire of suffering becomes the light of consciousness.

            -Eckhart Tolle

Here’s another quote on the Plan.

The Plan, as it is sensed by the world disciple, in the attempt to work and co-operate with it, is only the sensing of that portion of it which concerns the human consciousness.  We have not yet been able to catch even a glimmer of the vastness of the synthetic Plan for evolutions other than human, both superhuman and subhuman; nor can we grasp the fabric of God’s ideal as it underlies the sum total of the manifested processes, even upon our little planet.  All we really know is the fact of the Plan, and that it is very good; that we are enfolded within it, and subject to it.

            - Djwhal Khul (Alice A. Bailey)

As mentioned earlier, the need to know is unimportant.  However, you can sense it. 

It will be touched through the feeling, a sense of excitement or anticipation.  There is a great joy, as well.  We will manifest the plan by living the energy and consciousness of it. 

Consider yourself to be contagious with it and, as you move through the day, allow it to flow.  Sort of like a water carrier – the Aquarian.
