The Present and Future Evolution of the World and of Humanity

It is impossible to know anything in the occult sense of human or planetary evolution now and in the future without understanding this evolution in the past. For what is presented to occult observations the student in observing hidden events in the past also contains everything he can learn about the present and the future. In this book, we talk about the evolution of Saturn, the Sun, Moon, and Earth. We can understand the development of the earth in the occult sense only if we observe the events of the previous developmental period. For what we find in our world today contains, in a sense, the facts of the evolution of the Moon, Sun, and Saturn. The creatures and things involved in the evolution of the Moon have evolved, and everything on Earth is the result of that evolution.

But not everything that has evolved from the moon to earth is susceptible to physical sense consciousness. Part of what comes to us from the evolution of the moon is only revealed at some point in clairvoyant consciousness, where knowledge hypersensitive world is reached. When this knowledge was obtained, it was recognized that our planet Earth was united in a hypersensitive world. The latter includes parts of the existence of the moon that are not dense enough to be observed by the physical senses. First, he did not include it as during the evolution of the original Moon. When this clairvoyance deals with perceptions of things that might exist, the latter is gradually divided into two images. One represents the form carried by the earth during the evolution of the moon, the other is represented in such a way that we recognize as the contents of a form that is still in its infancy and will become a reality – in the sense that the earth is now a reality – but only in the future.

Further observations show that the results of events on Earth, in a sense, are constantly flowing into this future form, so we have in front of us what our land will be like. The effects of worldly existence will be combined with the events described in the world, and that will create a new cosmos where the Earth will change when the Moon has changed to Earth. This future form is called Jupiter’s state of the occult. This shrewd observer from Jupiter’s situation saw the revelations of certain events that would occur in the future. The reason for this is that in the unseen part of the earth, which comes from the moon, there are creatures and things that [p. 383] will take a certain form when certain events actually occur in the physical world. Therefore, there will be something in the state of Jupiter that has been determined by the evolution of the moon and will contain new factors which can only enter the entire evolution as a result of worldly events. In this way, our clairvoyant can learn something that will happen during Jupiter’s state.

Evolution of the World

The beings and facts observed in this field of consciousness do not have the nature of semantic images; They don’t even look like fine air structures that can create sensational effects. They convey the spiritual impression of pure sound, light, and warmth. They do not express themselves through material benefits. They can only be felt by clairvoyant awareness. However, it can be said that beings that currently manifest at the psycho-spiritual level have a “body”. However, this body looks like a collection of thick memories that they carry in their souls.

A person can distinguish within himself what he is experiencing now and what he has experienced and now remembers. The latter is included as a physical element in it. They are aware of it, just as the worldly person is aware of his body.

In the stage of the development of the fortune teller, higher than just described, it is necessary to know the Moon and Jupiter, students are able to see beings and things that are too sensitive [p. 384], which are actually more advanced forms of participants during the sun’s state, but have reached a level of existence so high that they are completely invisible to consciousness and can only observe the shapes of the moon. During meditation, the image of the world is divided into two parts. One leads to knowledge about the state of the sun from the past; the other represents the future form of earthly existence, in which the earth changes, when the fruit of everything that happens on it and Jupiter enters these future world forms. What can be observed from this future world can be characterized in terms of occult knowledge as a condition of Venus.

What can be observed from this future world can be characterized in terms of occult knowledge as a condition of Venus.

Along these lines, to a still more profoundly developed perceptive awareness, a future condition of advancement is uncovered, which we may call the Vulcan state. It remains in a similar relationship to the Saturn state as the Venus condition does to that of the Sun, or the Jupiter state to the advancement of the Moon. Along these lines, when we mull over the past, present, and eventual fate of the world’s advancement, we may talk about the Saturn, Sun, Moon, Earth, Jupiter, Venus, and Vulcan developments.

Similarly as these sweeping states of the development of our earth untruth uncovered to visionary vision, a similar vision is additionally ready to cover the closer future. There is an image of things to come comparing to each image of the past. In talking about such things, in any case, one truth must be underscored which ought to be considered: that so as to perceive certainties of this sort, one should totally get rid of the possibility that they can be understood through unimportant philosophical reflection. These things can’t, and never ought to be explored by that sort of reasoning. Anybody would work under an immense hallucination who, in the wake of getting to be familiar with the lessons of mysterious science in regards to the Moon state, believes that he could find the future states of Jupiter by contrasting those of the Moon and Earth. These conditions must be explored just when the imperative perceptive cognizance has been accomplished; yet once imparted to others after such examination, they can be comprehended without visionary awareness.

Presently the soothsayer ends up in a significant diverse situation, as to perceptions concerning the future, from that wherein he remains with respect to those of the past. It is incomprehensible from the outset for man to consider future occasions as fair-mindedly as he does those of the past. Future occasions energize human will and feeling; while the past influences us in a significant distinctive manner. He who watches life realizes how evident this is of ordinary presence; however how colossally this fact is improved, and what a cozy bearing it has upon the concealed unavoidable truths that apply to everyone, must be acknowledged by one who has some learning of the supersensible world. That is the motivation behind why the individuals who realize such things are unquestionably restricted with respect to what they are permitted to give out. Certain things bearing on the future can, truth be told, be granted just to the individuals who have themselves resolved to pursue the way prompting the supersensible universes. Such individuals by their psychological mentality have procured something which gives them the disinterestedness essential for the gathering of these lessons. Hence certain mystery actualities, even of the over a significant time span, can be talked about just to the individuals who are set up for them along these lines. These are realities so firmly associated with future advancement, that their impact on the human spirit is like that created by interchanges in regards to the future itself.

This clarifies, additionally, why the data in this book concerning the present and what’s to come is given in the merest layout as contrasted and the more nitty gritty portrayals of the development of the world and of mankind previously. What is said here isn’t proposed to interest the adoration for sensation in the littlest degree; not even to stir it. We will just state where the appropriate response can be found to essential inquiries which normally present themselves to one who holds a specific distinct frame of mind of psyche.

Similarly as the extraordinary astronomical development can be depicted in the progressive states, from the Saturn to the Vulcan time frame, so additionally is this workable for shorter timeframes; for instance, for those of the advancement of the earth. Since that powerful change which ended the old Atlantean life, progressive times of human development have tailed each other which have been brought in this work the antiquated Indian, the old Persian, the Egypto-Chaldean, and the Greco-Roman. The fifth time frame is that in which humankind ends up to-day,— it is right now. This period step by step took its ascent in the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteen centuries a.d., after a time of planning starting in the fourth and fifth hundreds of years. The Greco-Roman period going before it started about the eighth century b.c. When 33% of this period had slipped by, the Christ-occasion occurred.

During the progress from the Egypto-Chaldean to the Greco-Roman period, the disposition of the human personality and, to be sure, all human resources, experienced a change. In the first of these two periods what we currently know as intelligent suspecting, as an insignificant scholarly idea of the world, was all the while needing. The information which a man currently obtains through his insight, he at that point picked up in a way fit to that time,— legitimately through an internal, in a specific sense, perceptive discernment. He saw the things around him, and keeping in mind that seeing them there emerged inside his spirit the percept, the picture that was required. At whatever point learning is picked up along these lines, not just photos of the physical sense-world become visible, however from the profundities of awareness a specific information of realities and creatures emerges which are not of the physical world. This was a leftover of the antiquated diminish hyper vision, when the regular property of the entire of humankind.

During the Greco-Roman period a regularly expanding number of people showed up without these limits. Clever reflection concerning things had their spot. Humanity was increasingly more separate from the prompt view of the psycho-otherworldly world, and was increasingly more confined to framing an image of it through knowledge and feeling. This condition kept going pretty much during the entire of the fourth division of the post-Atlantean period. Just those people who had saved the old mental state as a legacy could in any case become straightforwardly aware of the profound world. Be that as it may, these were stragglers from a previous time. Their way of picking up learning was never again appropriate for later conditions. For, as an outcome of the laws of advancement, old resources of the spirit lose something of their previous importance when new resources show up. Human life at that point adjusts to these new resources, and can never again utilize the old ones appropriately.

There were people, be that as it may, who started in full awareness to add to the forces of insight and feeling previously picked up, the advancement of other and higher forces, which made it workable for them again to infiltrate into the psycho-profound world. To this end they were obliged to set to work in an alternate manner from that in which the understudies of the old Initiates had been prepared. The last had not been obliged to consider those resources of the spirit which were grown uniquely in the fourth time frame. The technique for mysterious preparing which has been portrayed in this work as that of the present age, started in its first fundamentals in the fourth time frame. Be that as it may, it was then just in its start, it couldn’t achieve genuine development until the fifth time frame (from the twelfth and thirteenth hundreds of years ahead). The individuals who tried to ascend into supersensible universes as such could pick up something of the higher areas of presence through the activity of their own creative mind, motivation, and instinct. The individuals who went no more distant than the advancement of the resources of explanation and feeling could adapt just through convention what had been known to old hyper vision. This was given on, either by overhearing people’s conversations or recorded as a hard copy, from age to age.

Neither could those brought into the world later know anything of the genuine idea of the Christ-occasion spare by such conventions, in the event that they didn’t ascend to the degree of the supersensible universes. Absolutely there were such Initiates who still had the common resources of supersensible discernment but who, through their improvement, had climbed into the higher universes, regardless of their dismissal of the new powers of knowledge and feeling. Through them a progress was affected from the old strategy for Initiation to the new. Such people lived in later occasions too. The basic normal for the fourth time frame is that, by the avoidance of the spirit from direct fellowship with the psycho-otherworldly world, the human resources of knowledge and feeling were in this manner fortified and stimulated. The spirits whose forces of knowledge and feeling had around then created, as it were, as the aftereffect of previous manifestations, extended with them the products of this advancement into their manifestations during the fifth time frame. As a pay for this prohibition from the higher universes, forceful conventions of Ancient Wisdom at that point existed, particularly those of the Christ-occasion, which by the intensity of their substance gave men certain information of the higher universes.

However, there were as yet certain individuals existing who had advanced the higher forces of perception notwithstanding the resources of explanation and feeling. It reverted upon them to get familiar with the realities of the higher universes, and particularly of the Mystery of the Christ-occasion, by direct supersensible observation. From these people there consistently streamed into the spirits of other men as much as was comprehensible and bravo.

The primary spreading of Christianity was to happen exactly when the capacities with regards to supersensible cognizance were undeveloped in an incredible piece of humankind. What’s more, this is the reason convention around then had such forceful power. The most grounded conceivable power was important to lead humanity to confidence in a supersensible world which they themselves couldn’t see. How Christianity functioned during that period has been appeared in past pages. There were consistently those, be that as it may, who had the option to ascend into higher universes through the creative mind, motivation, and instinct. These men were the post-Christian successors of the old Initiates, the instructors and individuals from the Mysteries. Their assignment was to perceive once more, through their own resources, what man had the option to see through old special insight, and through the strategies for rising into higher universes instructed in the old Initiations; and moreover, to procure the information of the genuine idea of the Christ-occasion.

Therefore there emerged, among these “New Initiates,” a learning grasping everything contained in the old type of Initiation; yet the essential issue of this educating was the higher information concerning the Mysteries of the happening to the Christ. Such educating could just channel through into the general existence of the world in meager measure while the human spirits of the fourth time frame were further building up the resources of acumen and feeling; along these lines, while this kept going, the regulation was in truth mystery. At that point started the beginning of the new period assigned as the fifth. Its basic trademark lay in the advancement made in the development of the scholarly resources, which were then created to a high degree, and will unfurl still further later on. This procedure has been gradually going on from the twelfth and thirteenth hundreds of years, winding up always fast from the sixteenth century up to right now.

Under these impacts the development of the fifth time frame turned into a regularly expanding undertaking to cultivate the forces of acumen, while, despite what might be expected, the information by confidence of previous occasions, and conventional insight, continuously lost its hold over the human spirit. Then again, nonetheless, from the twelfth and thirteenth hundreds of years on, there built up what might be called a regularly expanding progression of insight conceived of current extrasensory cognizance. This “concealed information” streams despite the fact that from the start indistinctly, into the human ideas of that period. It is just normal that even up to the here and now the absolutely savvy powers ought to have kept up an adversarial frame of mind toward this learning. In any case, what must happen will do as such despite all brief hostility. That “concealed learning” which is claiming humankind increasingly more might be called emblematically, the “intelligence of the Holy Grail.”

For he who figures out how to comprehend this image in its more profound importance, as it is recounted in story and legend, will find that it symbolizes the idea of what has been called over, the information of the new Initiation, with the Christ Mystery as its essential issue. Present day Initiates may along these lines be classified “the Initiates of the Grail.” The starter phases of the way to the supersensible universes depicted in this book, prompts the “Shrewdness of the Grail.” It is an idiosyncrasy of this knowledge that its realities can be explored just when the vital methods, as portrayed in this book, have been obtained. Once explored, in any case, these realities can be comprehended by methods for those very soul-powers which are the consequence of the advancement of the fifth time frame. Undoubtedly, it will turn out to be increasingly more clear that to a regularly expanding degree those powers discover fulfillment through this information. We are currently inhabiting a period wherein this information must be consumed by human cognizance as a rule to an a lot more full degree than was once the situation. Furthermore, it is starting here of view that the lessons contained in this Christ-occasion will become always ground-breaking in extent as human advancement absorbs the Wisdom of the Grail. The inward side of the improvement of Christianity will increasingly more keep pace with the exoteric side. That which might be learned through creative mind, motivation and instinct, concerning the higher universes, regarding the Christ Mystery, will infiltrate perpetually and progressively human reasoning, feeling, and willing. The “concealed intelligence of the Grail” will be uncovered, and as an inward power will increasingly more saturate the appearances of human life.

Through the entire of the fifth time frame, learning concerning the supersensible world will stream into human cognizance; and when the 6th period starts, humankind will have the option to recapture on a more significant level that hyper vision which it had at a previous age in a diminish and vague way. However the new procurement will take a structure very not quite the same as the old. What the spirit knew about higher universes in old occasions, was not saturated by its own powers of acumen and feeling. Its learning was instinctual. Later on it won’t just have senses, however it will get them, and feel them to be the embodiment of its own tendency. At the point when the spirit learns a reality concerning some other being or thing, its mind will discover this reality confirmed through its own temperament. Or then again when some reality with respect to a moral law or human lead presents itself, the spirit will say to itself: “My inclination is possibly legitimized when I complete what is inferred in this learning.” Such a state of soul should be created by a huge piece of mankind in the 6th period.

In a specific way, that which human development achieved during the third time frame—the Egypto-Chaldean—is rehashed in the fifth. Around then the spirit could even now see certain realities of the supersensible universes, however this observation was vanishing. For the scholarly resources were around then starting to create and it was their crucial first bar man from the higher universes. In the fifth time frame supersensible actualities which in the third time frame were seen in cloudy hyper vision, are again getting to be show; however they are presently interpenetrated by the scholarly and passionate existence of the individual man. They are additionally pervaded with what might be granted to the spirit by a learning of the Christ Mystery; accordingly they accept a structure very surprising from that which they had already.

While in old occasions impressions from the higher universes were felt as powers acting from an otherworldly world to which man didn’t appropriately have a place, through advancement in later occasions these impressions are felt as those of a world into which man is developing, of which he an ever increasing number of structures a section. Give nobody a chance to assume that a reiteration of the Egypto-Chaldean development can happen so that the spirit would simply recapture what at that point existed, and which has been given on from that time. The Christ-motivation, appropriately comprehended, prompts the human spirit which has encountered it, to feel and behave as an individual from a profound world, currently remembering it as a world to which it has a place, outside of which it recently existed.

Similarly that the third returns in the fifth time frame, so as to move toward becoming entered with those new characteristics which the human spirit picked up during the fourth, so comparatively the subsequent period will restore inside the 6th and the principal, the old Indian, during the seventh. All the grand intelligence of antiquated India which the incredible instructors of that day had the option to announce, will return in the seventh time frame, as living truth in human spirits.

Presently the adjustments in the natural condition of man occur in a way which bears a specific relationship to his own advancement. At the point when the seventh time frame has run its course, the earth will encounter a change which might be contrasted and the one which isolated Atlantean from post-Atlantean times. Furthermore, the changed earth will again proceed with its development in seven divisions of time.

The human spirits which will at that point manifest will understanding, on an increasingly magnified level, the connection with the higher universes which was controlled by the Atlanteans at a lower arrange. Be that as it may, just those people will have the option to adapt to the new states of the earth who have incorporated with their spirits the characteristics made conceivable by the impacts of the Greco-Roman age, and of the periods tailing it,— the fifth, 6th, and seventh of the post-Atlantean advancement.

The inward idea of such spirits will compare to that which the earth has moved toward becoming at that point. Every single other soul should then stay behind, despite the fact that up to that point they had the option to pick whether they would make for themselves the conditions important to progress with the others. Those spirits alone will be ready for the conditions emerging after the following extraordinary disaster, who at the purpose of progress from the fifth to the 6th post-Atlantean period have achieved the limit with regards to entering supersensible cognizance with the powers of knowledge and feeling. The fifth and 6th are in a manner the conclusive periods. Those spirits which have achieved the objective of the 6th period will keep on growing likewise in the seventh; however the others will, under the changed states of their environment, find yet little chance to continue with their disregarded assignment. Just in a far off future will conditions again show up which will allow of this being finished.

In this way, advancement continues from period to period. Special insight watches not just those adjustments later on in which the earth alone participates, however those likewise which occur related to the radiant bodies in its condition. An opportunity will come in which the earthbound and human development will be progressed so far that those powers and creatures which were constrained to withdraw themselves from the earth during the Lemurian time frame, in order to bear to earth-creatures the probability of further progress, will be capable again to join with the earth. At that point, the moon will again be joined with the earth. This will happen in light of the fact that an adequately enormous number of human spirits will at that point have the inward powers which will empower them to render the Moon powers productive for further improvement. What’s more, this will happen when, next to each other with the high improvement of a specific number of human spirits, another advancement, that of the individuals who have picked the way of underhandedness, will parallel it. These straggler-spirits will have aggregated in their Karma so much sin, offensiveness, and underhandedness, that from the start they will shape a different network, an unreasonable and blundering segment of mankind, distinctly contradicting what we comprehend as “great.” The “great” humankind will obtain gradually the intensity of utilizing the Moon powers, and will along these lines so change the malicious segment as to empower it to keep pace with the development of advancement as a different earth kingdom. Through these works of the great piece of mankind, the earth, at that point rejoined with the moon, will be capable, after a specific time of advancement, to again join with the sun and furthermore with different planets.

After a halfway state, which will be a visit in a higher world, the earth will be changed into the Jupiter condition. That which we currently call the mineral kingdom won’t exist on Jupiter; the powers of this mineral kingdom will be changed into plant powers and the plant kingdom, which will have a significant new structure contrasted and its present one, will show up in the Jupiter state as the least of the kingdoms, while above it, we locate the set of all animals, in like manner changed. Next comes a human kingdom—the relatives of the shrewd earth humankind. And afterward will show up the relatives of the great earth mankind, as a human kingdom on a more elevated level. An incredible piece of crafted by this last human kingdom comprises in recognizing the spirits which have sunk into the shrewd network, with the goal that they may in any case gain permission into the genuine human kingdom.

The Venus condition will be of such a nature, that the plant kingdom will have vanished additionally; the most reduced kingdom will be the set of all animals again changed, or more that there will be three progressive human kingdoms of various degrees of flawlessness. The earth will stay joined with the sun during the Venus time frame; while during that of Jupiter it will have happened that, at one point, the sun isolates from Jupiter, the last accepting its impact from outside. At that point there is again a joining between the sun and Jupiter, the change step by step going into the Venus state. During that express another planet withdraws itself from Venus, containing a wide range of creatures which have restricted development, an “irredeemable moon,” in a manner of speaking, after a way of advancement which is of a character difficult to depict, in light of the fact that it is too not normal for anything which man can involvement on earth. Be that as it may, advanced humankind will pass on in a completely spiritualized reality to the Vulcan development, a portrayal of which lies past the extent of this work.

We see that from the products of the “Intelligence of the Grail” springs the most elevated perfect of human advancement possible for man: spiritualization achieved by him through his very own endeavors. For at last this spiritualization shows up as a result of the amicability which he created out in the fifth and 6th times of the present development, between the resources of explanation and feeling which he had then accomplished and insight of supersensible universes. That which he in this way accomplishes inside his spirit will at long last become in itself the external world. The human soul ascends to the compelling impressions of its external world and from the start divines, later perceives otherworldly creatures behind these impressions; the human heart detects the unspeakable exaltedness of the Spirit. Man can, in any case, additionally perceive that his internal encounters of mind, feeling and character are nevertheless the germs of an incipient soul world.

He who feels that human freedom isn’t good with a prescience and fate of future conditions, should think about that man’s opportunity of activity later on depends similarly as meager on the course of action of fated things as does his freedom of activity as to occupying a house a year consequently, on the designs for which he is presently settling. He will be as free as his deepest being will allow, inside the house he had constructed; and he will be as free on Jupiter and on Venus as his inward life grants, even under the conditions which will emerge there. Opportunity won’t rely upon what has been foreordained by predecessor conditions, however on what the spirit has made out of itself.

The secret of all future development is a recognition that everything achieved by man from a right comprehension of evolution is a sowing of seed which must ripen into love. And the greater the amount of love-force, so much the greater will be the creative force available for the future. In that which will grow from love, will lie the mighty forces leading to that culminating point of spiritualization described above. The greater the amount of spiritual knowledge that flows into human and terrestrial evolution, so much more living and fruitful seed will be stored up for the future. Spiritual knowledge is transmuted through its own nature into love. The whole process which has been described, beginning with the Greco-Roman period and extending throughout the present time, shows how this transformation, for which the beginning has now been made for future times, is to take place and to what end. That which has been prepared as wisdom on Saturn, Sun and Moon, is active in the physical, etheric and astral bodies of man; it shows itself there as the “Wisdom of the World”, but within the “ego” it becomes intensified. The wisdom of the outer world becomes inner wisdom in man from the Earth period onward and when it is concentrated in him, it becomes the germ of love. Wisdom is the necessary preliminary condition for love; love is the fruit of wisdom, reborn in the ego.
