5. REAPPEARANCE OR NEW BODY OF THE CHRIST              

       
   Often one confuses the "reappearance" of the Christ with the "Christ's second coming". However these spiritual events are in essence different. The "Reappearance" is related to incompleteness of disclosure of the nature of form, or to the third aspect of the fourth initiation. The "Second Advent, or Second Coming" is related to change of accent in the mission of Christ from formal nature to spiritual one, or to the fifth initiation.
   A bit before there had been shown that the first mission, or the fist coming of Christ, resulted in formation of a "tear in the curtain", and not in elimination or thinning of this curtain. Work on disclosure of the nature of form was interrupted, that's why Christ is to appear to the people again in the Age of Aquarius. But He appears clothed in a very subtle and undisclosed aspect of form, not only separating the humanity from the God-Father, but at the same time being an open door between two worlds, physical and spiritual. As well as in Pisces Christ became a "tear in the curtain" or a narrow way to the Father, in Aquarius he becomes a large open door. One would think tear and door are the same substance; what is then a special feature of Christ's appearance in Aquarius? What is different is that that humanity has approached by itself to the state of reality, where very subtle forms of matter, consisting of the new body of Christ, are identified, attracted and used.
   A situation is described in the Bible, where Jesus had appeared to his disciples after being crucified. The ones had recognized, i.e. had seen him, the others had not. He could appear to several disciples in several places at the same time. The whole thing depended on their readiness to see, to recognize, to accept Him. During all 2000 years of the Age of Pisces Christ appeared to people, to some of them, to few. In the Age of Aquarius people will recognize him on a mass scale. In this fact lies the new.
   The Age of Aquarius brings to the humanity the "new sky and new earth". The new sky is aforementioned aspect of form, that is going to disclose sequentially within following 2000 years, and is disclosing at present. The new sky is a spiritual aspect, that will disclose to the consciousness of humanity after thinning of curtain or uncovering of an unknown aspect of form, which is immediate knowledge of God. What does the new body of Christ correspond to? What does this new aspect of form consist of? It is referred to "periphery of energies1 ", or "periphery of Spirit". One of statement of I.P. Blavatskaya could help us better understand the foresaid: matter is spirit in its lowest aspect of manifestation, and spirit is matter in its highest aspect of manifestation. Spirit in its lowest aspect of manifestation is the "periphery of Spirit". Let's show this idea in a symbolic way (fig. 4.3).
                                                                Figure 4.3 BOOK ''FIRE DOORS'' ch  IV
   Thus, there is some state of matter that is not completely matter but spirit as well. At the same time spirit in that state is not completely spirit but matter as well. In essence that is the "curtain" separating two worlds, objective one and subjective one. Christ, who is a result of union of spirit and matter, or son of Father and Mother, is the very "curtain". The breach (tear) in the curtain, thus, is nothing else than his own crucifixion, his sacrifice2 given for the sake of the imperfect humanity.
   The reader, most likely, is informed about the threeness: the "outer court", that means the world of forms; the "holy place", that means the world of soul; the "holy of holies", that means the world of Father, i.e. the monadic world. Notice that the "Curtain in the Temple" separates not the "outer world" of the "holy place", but the "holy place" of the "holy of holies", i.e. the consciousness of soul from the consciousness of spirit.
   The "curtain" is, in one hand, the subtlest matter, the highest aspect of matter's manifestation, and on the other hand the curtain is Spirit in its lowest manifestation. On the one part it is representative of humanity in its highest aspect, on the other part it is periphery of the world of angels, hierarchy of souls3. The humanity is represented by a group referred by the School to "New Group of the Universe's Attendants"(Novaya Grooppa Mirovykh Sluzhiteley, NGMC)4. The hierarchy is presented by a group known as a brotherhood of Grail. In Aquarius the both groups come into a direct contact, resulting in their interplay and junction. The "curtain" is the "body of Christ", that is why, on the one hand, Christ becomes explicit and manifest, on the other hand he is the very life and therefore every man, conjoining him, or "eating of the body of Christ" (entering the NGSM), being administrated his blood (cup of Grail5 ), find freedom from the "clutch of matter".
   Christ who appears as a whole, and not as a "tear in the Curtain", is exempted of given by him earlier sacrifice6. He is no more crucified, the "curtain" becomes continuous, or unbroken again: opaque for those going the way of Christ's "crucifixion', but transparent and "light", not interfering to enter it for those expressing the sublime aspect of the matter, which is the Spirit of the New Testament. Just this meaning and this signification are hidden behind the statement7 than in August of 2003 Christ has "come down from the cross" and stopped taking human sins on him.
   The Age of Aquarius personifies the process of disclosure of consciousness during the time between two great crises in life of humanity as a kingdom of nature: the third and the fourth initiations. On the fig. 4.4 it is shown in a symbolic way (the full variant).
                   Figure 4.4 BOOK ''FIRE DOORS'' ch  IV
   Here are explanations of symbols:
        ● Triangles (Forces) express processes of disclosure during the time between the third
        and the fourth initiation in the Age of Aries;
        ● Radiuses (Energies) express the same processes in the Age of Aquarius;
        ● Join of triangles and radiuses (Forces and Energies) in the Age of Pisces.
   In the Age of Aries the accent lies entirely on Forces (formal plan) and on Laws (subjective plan), expressed completely by triangles. Thus, the third initiation in Aries is expressed by the "Star of David" and the fourth by two "tables of Moses"8 , or two triangles joint by their vertices
   In the Age of Pisces the situation have been complicated both in objective and subjective plane, because accent have been placed on junction of Forces and Energies (on ideals9 ), expressed by a composition from triangles and radiuses. An ambiguity of that junction brought to an ambiguity of manifestation: shift of accent on Forces (forms, idols, laws, authorities, rules and orders) resulted in a "fall" in the Age of Aries; shift of accent on Energies (ideas, cycles) caused a detachment from matter, accompanied by disturbances in organisms (both in individual persons and in groups, communities, states); shift of accent on junction of Forces and Energies brought to purification and disclosure of new level of consciousness.
   In the Age of Aquarius the situation becomes simpler on subjective plane, but still more complicate on objective one. In manifestation of life accent is placed on Energies, symbolically expressed by radiuses, but in the formal activity of people Forces (Laws) and Energies have been used both in conjunction and with a higher emphasis on ones or others. The humanity comes to a full freedom of self-expression at the cost of a higher, or rather full responsibility.
                   Figure 4.5 BOOK ''FIRE DOORS'' ch  IV
   As stated above, a singular characteristic of the Age of Aquarius is disclosure of more subtle aspects of formal nature, actually connecting us to subjective world. Symbolically this is shown on the fig. 4.5. Triangles during the full cycle are to be "thinned" to transparency. They become so subtle that it not possible to place accent on them - it would be "hung in midair". At that "aerial" aspect of form Christ appears. However, where is the symbol of Christ on the fig 4.5-d: up or down? Perhaps, there will be two or more "christs"? The warning: "For many will come in my name, saying "I am the Christ, and they will lead many astray". (Matthew 24: 5) - was it about it, was n't it?
   To understand better the question subject to analysis, one must return to one of moments from the second chapter: let us consider from the perspective of all aforesaid the symbol (fig. 4.6) referred to "diamond of consciousness". It will be recalled that it is the result of construction of group and planet antakhtaranas. Variant "B" shows junction of energies within it, variant "C" - one of its partial variants. We can see that this junction possesses seven points of synthesis of threenesses. Should it be understood in a way that in the Age of Aquarius Christ might appear in seven bodies?
                   Figure 4.6 BOOK ''FIRE DOORS'' ch  IV
   Let us consider these points in details, without simplifications, i. e. minutely, to not come to a sophism. Let's consider first the junction in the central point "0" (a spot on the fig. 4.6 circled with a dashed line), shown on the fig. 4.7. The first thing requiring explication is the principle of distribution of superposed radiuses. This principle states that the point of junction is the spot of maximal concentration, and the periphery - of the lesser one. That is why the symbol "4.7-а" is simplified to the symbol "4.7-b". The second thing requiring to be remembered, that have been already explicated in the second chapter, is that dashed lines designate causal energies, and solid lines designate energies of response, or effect. Thus the symbol "4.7-b" is a symbol of Christ.
                                                         Figure 4.7 BOOK ''FIRE DOORS'' ch  IV
   Further we must analyze trends and processes from beginning to the end of the Age, or from the third to the fourth initiation, and the fig. 4.8 will help us to do that. Circle in the variant "4.8-а", or "outer circle" from points of joint of Energies, designates the degree of manifestation of the principle of Christ. concurrently with advance to the fourth initiation that principle becomes more and more reduced. At the variant "4.8-c" the "Star of Christ" has reduced to the central "point" (compared to the interacting energies themselves). This is a culmination, foregoing to the fourth initiation, thereby the culmination of the Age of Aquarius. However, processes described here are related to energies, and at the considered stage of evolution remain hidden. That which the humanity keeps identifying its consciousness with, are Forces, symbolically expressed by triangles, shown on the fig. 4.6-а. The fig. 4.9 shows the evolution of Forces at the stage under consideration.
                                                    Figure 4.8 BOOK ''FIRE DOORS'' ch  IV
   At the initial stage triangles of Forces, conditionned within the "inner circle" around points of energies junction are down-expressed and to the end attain their maximal value. Comparison of evolution of Energies junction and of Forces shows that at the first stage Forces are weak and Energies are strong, and "shadowing" of Energies by Forces is non-significant. By the end of the circle there is an opposite situation: Energies are down-expressed, and Forces attain their maximal manifestation, actually exhausting their inherent potential. The absolute dominance of Forces becomes obvious. That is to say, the Age of Aquarius is the Age of departure from Christ. The leading hand in evolution processes passes from the Christ to its "shadow", or the "antichrist". That is to say, from Energies to Forces, from Spirit to Form. Forces were dominant previously as well, for example, at the Age of Aries and of Pisces. It would seem there is nothing unusual in that. However, until the Age of Aquarius influences of Energies keep enhancing. In the Age of Aquarius the process is going inversely, and Forces are joined on the other basis: previously a mystic antahkarana stood as the basis, now an occult one. And this is absolutely different level both of manifestation and of confrontation.
                                                                 Figure 4.9 BOOK ''FIRE DOORS'' ch  IV
   The denoted combination, or superposition of Forces and Energies, has three specific points: initial one where Energies predominate; final where Forces predominate; intermediate point where Forces and Energies are equally manifested. The intermediate point divides the Age into two parts: the first is characterized as the appearance of Christ, the second as the appearance of antichrist. At that the appearance of antichrist will accompany the appearance of Christ in the first half, and the eclipse of Christ will accompany the appearance of antichrist in the second half of Aquarius. Let's consider the process of confrontation of these two phenomena in each half of the Age.
                    Figure 4.10 BOOK ''FIRE DOORS'' ch  IV
   The first part of the Age of Aquarius advances symbolically from the state "a" to the state "d" on the figure 4.10. The completion of this period would be a complete eclipse, or hiding, of Star of the Christ. Namely about that period says the 20th chapter of The Revelation of St. John the Divine: "Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while. (Revelation 20: 1-3). We can make a precise calculation of these two periods referred to as a "thousand years" and a "little while". For that we need consider the ratio of two parts, which the radius on the fig. 10-d is divided into. On the fig. 4.11 the geometric spot of interest is shown: the length of radius (tagged with letter "L"), that is the potential of God, is divided in proportion "2/5" to "3/5"10 . In other words, the first period makes 40% of the total length of the Age of Aquarius.
                                                           Figure 4.11 BOOK ''FIRE DOORS'' ch  IV
   Average length of zodiacal Age makes approximately 2150 years. However its actual duration is influenced by the Will of God, expressed in the cyclic Idea, seeking for its manifestation. It is built in the first moments of the new Age, but it will be obvious or evident to many people only years or even hundreds of years later. We have already described ratios of immanent and transcendent activities by example of the Age of Pisces. The same calculation can be made for the Age of Aquarius. The number of Aquarius is 22. It means that the first immanent cycle, having started by the end of 1977, makes 22 years, the second makes 44 years, the third - 44 years and so on (formula is 22xn, where "n" are members of natural sequence). Having made simple arithmetic counts we can find duration of last immanent cycle: it makes 308 years if the total length of the Age of Aquarius (starting from 1977) is 231011 years. This means the fist transcendent cycle makes also 308 years (and the last - 22 years), and by 2285 perception of the Will of God, that is the object of Aquarius, would be available for many initiated people. But now, at the very beginning of the Age, that Will barely acquires tangible outlines, in addition mostly in its negative12. , i.e. purifying aspect.
   Now, having defined the value of number "L", or the length of cyclic activity of the Age of Aquarius, we can easily find the 2/5 of 2310 years, which makes 924 years. This is the period, when the "beast", i.e. material nature, will be "bound" in its manifestation by the bright shining of Star of Christ, i.e. by reappearance of Christ. After that the "little while" i.e. eclipse of Christ, will come for the period of time 1386 years, whereupon material nature becomes again prevailing.
   Why so much place is dedicated here to numbers and comparisons with the text of the "Revelation"? That is because the "appearance of Christ", "liberation of beast" and the "second Resurrection" are related to construction of the planet antahkarana. Because processes taking place both on subjective and objective plane should be clearly understood. And these processes have got the cyclic nature, related to numbers and "drawings"13 of Great Geometer - the God.
   Let me remind you that Jesus Christ, in order to demonstrate the essence of the Age of Pisces, set the Last Supper in "the house of Aquarius". Strictly speaking, in the Age of Aquarius the Last Supper still keeps on. But the essence of the New Age - the Age of Aquarius - is completely expressed only when being seen top-down, i.e. from the point of view of the Age of Capricorn (which hides the Unicorn). On the figure 4.12 several symbols are shown which represents us the Project of Creator subject to be manifested in cycle of Aquarius and in connection with the cycle of Capricorn; though, this figure 4.12 does not disclose main secrets of the Unicorn, because it still too early.
                    Figure 4.12 BOOK ''FIRE DOORS'' ch  IV
   Here are some explications for the figure 4.12: "a" - the third initiation, or the First Advent of Christ; "d" - the fifth initiation, or the Second Advent of Christ. One can see that the Christ of the First and of the second coming is by essence the same. The difference lies not within him but within the Humanity. The first coming pointed out spiritual preference. The fourth initiation stands intermediately between two Advents of the Christ. Before this event the construction14 of causal body is going on, after this event preferences will be neglected as a principle of vital expression and instead of them the highest aspect of matter15 will be used, being at the same time periphery of Energies. Namely the last is reflected in the variant "c", and just after the fourth initiation the Age of the new coming of Christ starts. That is to say, in the Age of Capricorn16 . All this time, starting from the beginning of the Age of Pisces and up to the end of the Age of Aquarius Christ does not leave the humanity; but in the Age of Aquarius he will be revealed again, or will appear. In Aquarius there is not still the Second coming, because the change of perception aspect has not occurred yet. The refining of matter is still lacking, refinement, necessary to the world of causes, i.e. world of energies would be not shielded. But the achievement of the fourth initiation, and thereby the passage on the way of disclosure of the Second coming will occur on level of groups, where evolution is conditioned by small inner cycles. Thus, the Second coming will happen, but not for the humanity as a whole, not for the fourth realm, but for those groups, that the firsts will implement energies of the Age of Aquarius.
   It is typical of all previous Ages that spiritual, i.e. right trend of evolution was immutable during all the Age, and was denied only by the passage to the next Age. We mentioned that the Age of Aquarius is divided into two parts, differing by character of their manifestation. This gives some ambiguity to the conception of spiritual, i.e. right accent of the consciousness. Namely: during the passage from the first part of the Age of Aquarius to the second one the refinement of the spirituality criterion will take place. In figures: until 2901 year A.D. the accent on rituals, on the formal aspects promotes the appearance of Christ, after that date it becomes an object, i.e. "guardian of the threshold" (that overshadows the true Christ). This remark relates to the "movement of triangles", for example, supervised by the Arcane School, founded by А.А. Bailey. One may say that as far as this will become a daunting problem in hundreds years, the humanity of those day will have to resolve it. But such a possible (I hope, not real-life) approach is not a new one; it had been used in the past history and had its negative results. It was precisely a question of the fact that early in Pisces the apostle Peter had developed temporary17 principles of religion of the started Age. In his epistle he stressed out that a lot of things were uncovered to him, for which the time was not yet ripe. But when the time had become "ripe", it turned out, that it is already impossible to change anything: form became firm and prevailing, and covered the content. There are many other examples of that. Nowadays our task is to account for such experience. Thus, now, as far as the form is pliable, we must put into it a germ or a gene of future transformation of the accent. This germ or gene is related to the hidden nature of formal techniques and rituals. Sure, all techniques and movements will go through the process of differentiation, and different group will add their "tinge" to initial accent. All the more it is important to see beyond the end of our human short life.
                                           Figure 4.13 BOOK ''FIRE DOORS'' ch  IV
   A bit previously we have mentioned (in a footnote) an illusion related to the period between the third and the fourth initiations. That problem has very deep roots. In the fig. 4.12 you can see a sort of "excrescence" in the form of the fourth initiation. Why on earth this "excrescence" could not be "circumcised" in an occult way, binding two aspects of the Christ and rectifying the way to God? That is just what Moses attempted to do. And that is just what the object of the fourth temptation of Christ had been. That is what the expectation of the Hierarchy was still not long ago. Now, and very recently, this question was cleared; from that cleared point of view the present investigation has been made. On the fig. 4.13 three approaches to the fourth initiation are shown: "a" - in Aries; "b" - in Pisces; "c" - in Aquarius. The variant "a" has two points of "ascent of mountain" - left (L) and right (R) - and an insuperable curtain, separating them. The variant "b" also is characterized by two points of "Ascent of mountain", but these are points of intermediate achievement. The curtain still exists, but now it is "torn", and the "spiritual body of Christ" is a bridge, or a matter of "tear". The variant "b" ("two pitchers") is a qualitatively new appearance of Christ on the way to the fourth initiation within the First Advent: the "Ascent of a mountain" becomes implicit and not formal; Christ does not form by himself a "tear in the curtain", i.e. he rejects in an occult way the Cross crucifying matter; the culmination would be the "rapture of Eva"18 (point "Е"), i.e. of matter in its highest manifested aspect.
   One can see that efforts of Moses consisted in the "double Ascent of a mountain": on the right side and on the left side. The only result however was achievement of a very high tension, accompanied by the "thunder and lightning on the Mount". The fourth temptation of Jesus resulted from an evident (to him) closeness of final success. This vision was accompanied by assurances than the kingdom of God is already not far, "near the door". However, from perspective of the human being it becomes really not far only in Aquarius, while through small cycles (22, 44 and 66 years and so forth) the increasingly big groups of initiated reach the peak "E", which means for them acquisition of freedom and entering into the kingdom of God.
   In connection with aforesaid it is worth to note, that all those having been ordained the fourth initiation before the August of 2003, during the next years will find that their further evolution (opening of consciousness) is held back by Energies of Aquarius. It results in the need to perform the correction and alignment with new energies. Their past achievements are not canceled but require reconsideration, because the "tear in the curtain" is eliminated and the road of embodied souls back into the kingdom of God runs through new realties, through refinement of the Curtain. The causal body had been rejected previously, that is why the fourth initiation was referred to "Denial". Now this accent as well as manners of thinking, attachments to the past, expectations built upon illusions, result only in rejection of energies of Aquarius delaying the opening of consciousness.

      NOTES:
       (1) The term is new only from the point of view of disclosure, i.e. understanding. Formally this term is already known to the humanity, for example from the book of A.A.B. "Radiuses and initiations", where terms "periphery of energies" and "incarcerating form" are equated (R&I, p. 564).
       (2) Two events - tear in the Curtain and the death of Jesus took place nearly at the same time. This suggests that one of them was the cause, and the other the consequence. Evangelists indicate that first the curtain had been torn, followed by the death of Jesus: "It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, while the sun's light failed. And the curtain in the temple was torn in two. Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" And having said this he breathed his last." (Luke, 23: 44-46).
       (3) "Those among you,.. who,.. follow the phase of preparation training and functioning on the periphery... Do not be vexed with the expression "function at the periphery"; because it means a great possibility of service... at a very useful place" (A.A.B. "EH", 524). Furthermore, the "Hierarchy does not possess properly personality making it able to express itself through... " (A.A.B. "EH", 526). The only way of its functioning on a formal plane is through "periphery" as an aspect of form.
       (4) "And I heard a voice from heaven. They were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. It is these :who follow the Lamb wherever he goes:" (Revelation 14: 2-4). "A new sing" is an uncovering of a new aspect of form. "redeemed from the earth" means expression of the most subtle formal nature, that is already rather spirit than matter. "Wherever he goes" - Christ rejects the Cross, and those knowing Christ see that, and understand, and follow him.
       (5) Hereby the meaning is disclosed of the fact that the present study gets under way with consideration of the question of Holy Grail. It was said there that the space of the brotherhood of Grail is "subtler than the subtle". In fact, this space is restrained from both sides by material and spiritual worlds. But if the Body of Christ is so subtle - how subtle is his spirit?
       (6) "...over time... the Christian remembrance day, Good Friday, will vanish from the consciousness of humanity" (А.А.B. "Exteriorization of Hierarchy", 542).
       (7) See in the author's book "Principle of Christ", pp. 34-40.
       (8) It is no coincidence that the revelation laid down on Moses's tables, in the language of Cabbala is interpreted as a name of God, inscribed in a triangle.
       (9) Christ also gave the eleventh law, which drew a line under ten Moses's Laws and changed their polarity at that.
       (10) This simple geometric proportion for the equilateral triangle, based on ratio of radius of circumscribed circle to radius of inscribe circle, making 2:1.
       (11) To compare: in the book of A.A.B. "Externalization of the Hierarchy" the number "2300 years" is given (p. 563).
       (12) The circle of 308 years is divided into four parts: "point of minimum" - 2054; "zero-point" - 2131; "point of maximum" - 2208; end of the circle- 2285.
       (13) The Creator lays down the laws, conditioning realm of angelhood, engaged in creation of concrete forms. Laws of geometry are part of Creator's laws of which the humanity had become aware.
       (14) Any construction is accomplished with "stones of preference".
       (15) "... Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready;" (Revelation 19:7-8).
       (16) In books of А.А.B. one may read that from the point of view of the Hierarchy it is possible to achieve in the Age of Aquarius an object planned for the Age of Capricorn. That point of view reproduces the illusion of Jesus, described earlier in that report: the illusion of possibility to "jump over" an Age. The present work is aimed to uncovering the volitional aspect of God, unchanged from start to finish. This is the base of prophecies and revelations of Holies. The Hierarchy only recently began to recognize the volitional aspect owing to its increasing contact with Shambala and to direct perception of His Will. Namely the unchangeable nature of the God's Will the integrity of the Universe is founded on. What would it be if in some places that Will would be corrupted? Whole circles of activity would be destroyed, and they are only interconnected "cogs in the machine" of evolution. Thereupon, these illusions are consequence of spiritual temptation.
       (17) There exists a Russian a bit sarcastic saying that "there is no more permanent that the temporary".
       (18) And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth." (Revelation 12: 1-2).
