Today is the Feast of the Transfiguration (of Christ)
It is an Initiation that all of us encounter in our lives – when we realize we are Essential Divinity – a principle of livingness
It is the 3rd Initiation (ever widening areas of awareness & Light).
Transfiguration – when our inner essential spiritual self is recognized within ourselves.
An integration of our essential Divine & Spiritual Light:
The lower self (physical, emotional/astral, and lower mental vehicles, the personality) is completely aligned with the Soul, infused with the Light of the Soul’s Three Aspects & acting as a clear window for divine light.

Initiations – Consciousness Expansions –
Evolutionary Steps for All of Humanity.
On the Evolutionary Arc – the Path to the Father’s House.
The initiate’s awareness permanently shifts to the higher mental plane (Soul, Abstract Mind, then to the Buddhic of pure love), allowing conscious mastery over thought forms and emotional dualities.

Bible:
As depicted in the Gospels, the Life of Christ (overshadowed Jesus) is actually an account of the spiritual evolution of all of humanity – expansions of consciousness.
In esoteric terminology, these expansions of consciousness are termed Initiations.
Hence, the metaphorical interpretation of the
1. Birth of Jesus (holy child) is called the First Initiation (
2. the Baptism at the hands of John is called the Second Initiation;
3. the Transfiguration is called the Third Initiation;
4. the Crucifixion and Renunciation – are called the Fourth Initiation;
5. and the Resurrection/Ascension – the Fifth Initiation.
There are two more.

The Biblical Blueprint:
Esoteric Christianity – the Gospel account of Jesus on Mount Tabor with His three Disciples – Peter, James, John (past present future worlds) – the Transfiguration, His essential divinity revealed to His Disciples – an outer, dramatic symbol of an inner, universal process.

The Five Initiations (esoteric).
Sequence in the Path of InitiationIn esoteric developmental ladders, the Transfiguration follows foundational purifications:

1. First Initiation (Birth): Awakening of the spiritual Christ-consciousness within.
2. Second Initiation (Baptism): Complete mastery and purification of the emotional/astral body.
3. Third Initiation (Transfiguration): Mental plane mastery and complete personality alignment with the Monad/Soul.
4. Fourth Initiation (Crucifixion/Renunciation): Complete death of the separate ego-self.
5. Fifth Initiation (Resurrection/Revelation): Full liberation and embodiment as an Adept or Master

Today’s meditation –
Reappearance of Christ as the World Teacher for Aquarius.
The prophets foretell the reappearance of one of themselves. Isaiah speaks thus of a forerunner and a Messiah:
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness –
“Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.” (Isaiah 40:3)

Meditation
Reappearance of the Christ Meditation Day.
We stand close to the Christ, at the heart of Hierarchy.
Our meditation becomes a healing for all those in need.
In the light of our Soul, we hear these words.

“People of goodwill can come together to make things better.”
These are good words from a great disciple.

Standing together in the Ashram, in the Buddic plane, in the Presence of the Christ & Hierarchy, under the Light of Sanat Kumara & under the light of our Group Soul, we face the Christ with intention, dedication & Love, we say Reappearance Mantram together…

Forgetting the things which lie behind,
We will strive towards our highest spiritual possibilities.
We dedicate ourselves anew
To the service of the Coming One
And will do all we can
To prepare men’s minds and hearts
For that event.
We have no other life intention. Ohm Ohm Ohm
