The New Call and the
Citadel of Christ

SOMETHING VERY NEW IS TODAY UNFOLDING within the Earthly sphere of life. Not new in the universe, of course, but quite unprecedented in its scope for the Earth. As a consequence of the rotation of our whole solar system into a new magnetic field in the galaxy, and in line with the cyclic Logoic radiatory laws that repeatedly affect all the celestial bodies, our Earth is undergoing a process of transmutation. All is about to become new here again, and in accordance with the fresh, new spirituality that is irresistibly dawning within the consciousness of Earth-humanity, new and adjusted laws and a new human race are emerging in this world. All is becoming very new indeed, and thus certain methods of teaching and application of the Ancient Wisdom that have proven themselves to be auspicious in the past are today swiftly being made redundant, for the dawning new consciousness requires a completely new and updated approach compared to those of yesteryear.

To give a natural example of this, think of the effect of a stone falling into water. As soon as it touches the surface, a circular ripple is formed that reproduces itself in ever wider circles until it finally becomes imperceptible. This movement, which we know so well, reveals a cosmic law. When two objects meet, the force that is liberated propagates itself in circles. The same phenomenon is to be found in all fields of matter and Spirit. Light, sound, etheric vibrations, waves of thought-power and so on, all propagate themselves in this way. In relation to this law we speak, esoterically, of circles of force. The force is emanated and extends continuously, until it finally dissolves in the All. We can learn from this that the force-emanations producing the movement must be constantly repeated if they are to create permanent results, especially within the dense, fallen worlds of matter. Here we refer to another cosmic law: the Law of Repetition.

Let us suppose that a group of people must learn how to react to a specific vibration which is emanating from divine spheres as an act of merciful service. The vibration is produced and after some time it fades away beyond the reach of the faculty of assimilation. It then becomes necessary for a new vibration of the same pitch to be sent forth, and this must be repeated over and over again until finally the group shows signs of reaction, of response or fulfilment. As soon as this produces a result, another impulse is necessary to initiate a new and progressive step in the intended direction. The character of such an intelligent, divine impulse will always be aligned with time, purpose and need. Therefore, the workers in the Field of Christ must be constantly open, humble, mindful and discerning. Their methods must be continually adjusted to the circumstances that pertain to the present moment. The worker who only talks of and lives according to what belongs to the previous circles of force, is not able to hear the new impulses of Christ.

The human life-wave is never static. Many mighty forces influence it and each impulse is attuned to the need of the moment. This fact has far-reaching consequences. Think, for example of the manifested church of the masses. The church, as a social phenomenon, displays two aspects. Firstly, we are familiar with its humanistic expressions with all their questionable consequences. Secondly, the church also presents itself in mystical values that are derived from circles of force which have ceased to be active and, therefore, relevant in the world. The present-day servant of all under the New Covenant laments these characteristics of the church even more than the atheist. Why? Because a church that conforms with the needs of the fallen world perpetuates world-agony, delusion and suffering, whereas the church that reflects itself in outworn, archaic mystical values, proving that its time has passed, will be like a magnet for incongruous and evil forces to enter this world, however sincere the priesthood and congregation may be. This is why the acquisition of contemporarily-relevant Knowledge is essential in order to go the path of Wisdom, traverse the portal leading to the New World and so to enter Life - TODAY.

In Scripture it is said: "There is joy in heaven over one sinner who repents". There is profound joy in the heart of the transfigurist when he discovers that a strong man who previously used his dynamic energy in a less-than-appropriate way, now begins to work in the right direction and in harmony with the New Call of the Christine Hierarchy. He knows that a strong worker is being added to the group of harvesters in the vineyard of the Lord. But what must we say of those who believe themselves to be deeply religious, knowledgeable, aware and completely attuned to Him who upholds the All, while through their inappropriate behaviour and their clinging to old values and methods, they unknowingly turn their back daily on the living Christ in the present moment, with their prayers, meditations and humanitarian visualisations, with their outmoded mysticism?

Imagine how it would be if the forces that animate the Christ-Hierarchy were to come to us tomorrow with an urgent request to serve the Great Work in a certain way; if they were to come to us with a fervent invitation, imploring that we "come and help", but we refused to come on the grounds of some utterance of a spiritual teacher or group, or a quotation from some text or doctrine which, nonetheless, proved its worth in times past.

Perhaps you can imagine how one could thus refuse Christ due to a past and now outmoded utterance of Christ! It is the constant anxiety of the guided workers in the fields of darkness that humanity may not hear the heart-beat of the times and the necessities arising from it; that mankind may not understand the rhythmically vibrating impulses of new and vital cosmic forces, but instead chooses to cling to the past or what is known and, therefore, 'secure'; that the human race may no longer wish to join the true servants of the world in the work of helping to manifest the New Jerusalem; that many of those who possess a real potential for harvest will turn a deaf ear to and ignore the ever-new divine Call to Goodness, Truth, Beauty and Justice.

That is the constant uncertainty in which we live today. When will it come, that ever recurring moment in the garden of Gethsemane when those who are Homeward-bound will utter the words: "Could you not watch with me one hour?" When will the moment come when we shall fall asleep in our devoted mystifications; when we reject the New Call while the heart of the world is bleeding. This is the holy anxiety, the holy anxiety of Love, of all Christ's servants.

"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things." Many people see the harsh, drab reality of these times, and while they stretch out their hands in dismay and desperation, and beg for the world to be redeemed, others can hear the voice of the Redeemer: "Behold I stand at the door and knock," and so they open the door that leads to Salvation.

At the first knock, we experience the initial impulse of the magic circle of force. We see the shining New Gospel, the image of the future, the prototype of the coming new Man, the society of the New World, the necessity of tomorrow. We glimpse something of what the divine Will intends for us and our world, and while we bask in this divine light, the ocean of sounds of the second knock on the chambers of our heart reverberates within us: "Work out your salvation in fear and trembling". And we go on a journey; we take up the pilgrim's staff and gird our cloaks around us. We journey through the great pool of evil to the Land of golden dreams.

But like a thunderclap, the third knock falls on the windows of our soul: "Love your neighbour as yourself. Give yourself to all in self-sacrificing, loving service!" It must be remembered that the good shepherd does not return home until he has done all that he can to salvage every lost sheep that he can find before the gong of Judgement sounds.

So we do not yet leave for the Land of golden dreams. We work here for a while longer, in the fallen life, for we see how our brothers and sisters lie torn under the hellish power of the evil beast, and we cannot sleep anymore because a child lies sobbing in the streets of a ravaged city, unable to see or walk, crying for its mother. Have you heard that sobbing? Do you hear the knocking at the chambers of your heart, of your whole being? Do you hear the sobbing of all those billions of souls who are being tormented in the torture chambers of the fallen world today?

Can you sleep when you think of the total degeneration that has taken hold not only of the adult population, but also of an increasing number of youths, dragging them down at neck-breaking speed, back to the Lemurian starting point? Can you remain calm when you think of the future mankind has created for itself, a future without any prospects whatsoever? Can you be at peace when you think of mankind's fear, the despair of so many, of the alarming threat of violence that maintains the unstable state in which the entire human structure is built?

That is why the true servant of the New Life begins building, right here and now in our midst, an impregnable Citadel of Truth, and this is how we seek justice for the downtrodden in this world, in order to redeem that which has become lost. We offer them the consolation of our deeds; and our Citadel - like a beacon unto the darkened world - shines over the Earth the light of a new Reality.

Those who work in this way will hear the divine cadences through which the method of attainment and emancipation is imparted to all with ears to hear. But what of those who refuse to listen, who will not hear? They will see and feel how the knock of the Lord will change into a blow, causing them to fall down into their broken reality. Their dear Lord will turn into the wrath of divine Justice, because they have desecrated the foundation of Goodness and denied the Truth entrance into their fearful and masquerading hearts.

But the man of tomorrow does not continue to use brittle methods derived from old impulses that have now faded to a semblance of death. The new man is intelligent. He understands that the prince of this world must now be felled in a new and different way. That is why he throws himself, mind body and spirit, into helping to erect the great Citadel in the midst of enemy territory. He and his allies, in true divine solidarity and holy fellowship, do battle with the evil horde in a carefully deliberated manner, and they direct their impulses of power repeatedly out into the fallen world, so that these circular radiating waves of vitality will eventually have the desired effect. The Citadel of Christ is impregnable, and from there the companions go out into the battlefield of this world to help create the conditions for building the New World.

Let us look out over the battlefield. We see a mighty group representing art, government, science and the church, who have made themselves totally subservient to the biblical Beast. The great herd, the men of the masses, trust in their leaders. Art, government, science and the church direct the masses to those places where they can best be misused by the perfidious powers that stand behind them. The masses are kept ignorant and led astray, and any protests are diverted into humanitarian organisations. Humanitarian slogans and movements are the prostitutes that keep the Final Liberation from those who crave the True Light. But when the Citadel is ready, all who thirst may enter and know Solace from the great tempest which is about to rage.
