A Meaning of the Symbol

White Magic -- Lesson Two, Part 15

I received another comment from Lucis Trust today. I sent my questions off to the three world divisions in New York, London and Geneva to increase my chances of getting an answer. Geneva and New York answered previously. Today London sent the following answer:

"The symbol used on the front of the books was determined by DK. Its meaning is light (as in the Latin) and he was quite clear that the letters LUX should be overlaid inside a triangle."

As I suspected Djwahl Khul did give instructions on the symbol and it appears that Alice A. Bailey and Lucis Trust thought the main idea behind it was to present the principle of Light through the letters L U X. So it was not serendipity that caused the three letters to be there, but that appearance was at least part of the plan.

But, since the creation of this symbol was guided by a Master then we can bank on the idea that there will be at least three planned meanings to it plus several others of a serendipitous nature.

Rick again was bold enough to take a stab at it. He did not come up with the same interpretation that I did, but that does not mean he was wrong by any means. For let me repeat that this symbol will have at least three planned interpretations plus several serendipitous ones. I am sure that at some point in the scheme of things that Sanat Kumara, the Ancient of Days, would be represented by the point in the "X" and interpreting in this direction is worthy of more contemplation.

Even so, I wish to deal with an interpretation closer to the heart of humanity and that would center on the Christ along with the hierarchy of Masters.

Let us consider the "X."

There are several ways that light could be represented.

Why choose an ancient word with an "X" in it?

For many years I have noticed this symbol on the Bailey books and was somewhat curious about its meaning, but never put a good deal of thought into it. Then one day it came to me that it was a hierarchical symbol and the X marked the identification of a certain master. Without thinking deeply upon it I assumed that the "X" indicated the identity of Djwahl Khul himself, that perhaps this was even his signature, or one of his names.

This was in my mind when I presented the symbol to the group. In giving it to you I did so with what I believe the correct principle in my mind, but I had not yet tested out the details for accurate correspondence. But as the time of the answer approached I had to take some time to do this and in so doing I found a differently twist than I expected.

If one of the masters is identified by the "X" the first and most natural guess would be DK himself, since he is the author of most of the material in the books. The second guess would be Koot Hoomi for two reasons. First, he is directly over Djwahl Khul in the hierarchy and DK sees him as his own teacher in many ways. Secondly, KH is Alice A. Bailey's master. He merely gave her out on loan to DK for a few years for the writing mission.

So, it would not come as any surprise if he was the one represented by the "X" since it would be natural for DK and AAB honor one to whom they owe so much.

But alas, on close examination KH did not seem to fit the correspondences.

The next major possibility would be Christ himself. Why, yes, it would only be natural to assume the "X" may mark the spot of the entity who was crucified on an X-like cross. But try as I may I could not match up the Christ with the "X" without doing some unnatural shuffling.

So the big question is '- who is the Master identified by the "X"? As I took a closer look, the answer surprised me, but made sense in a mysterious way.

Here is the answer I came up with:

You will note that the crossing lines mark the Master just below the Christ. He is merely identified as "the European Master."

Now, the interesting thing about this entity is that even though he is high in the hierarchy, even next to Christ in the Love/Wisdom aspect, but he was only mentioned once by Djwahl Khul, and that was in 1922 in the chart of the Hierarchies we have been studying.

So all we know of him through the Alice A. Bailey writings is that he is called the European Master and is directly under the Christ, evidently working very closely with Him. Since 1922 there is no mention made of him.

Because he was called the European Master in 1922 this tells us that in that year he was either working as a master in a European body or the second possibility is that he was incarnated in Europe somewhere as a mortal in the service of mankind.

I am assuming that the latter is the case and this is the reason he is not mentioned or involved with the transmission of messages from the hierarchical center.

Now, if this master was in the flesh in 1922, in Europe, it is quite possible that he was killed in World War II or died naturally by now and is perhaps reborn even again. Because he is called the European Master, even if he is reborn, he will most likely be working among European or descendents thereof.

Djwahl Khul gives an interesting comment on what he means when he speaks of Europe or European.

"The United States must not forget either that she is a section of the entire European continent transplanted across the ocean and that European history, successes, mistakes and sins are here also."

This would indicate that he also includes the United Kingdom in his definition of "European" since so many people in the States are descended from the English. So even though the English do not like to be called European it appears that Djwahl Khul includes both North America and the UK as part of the whole mix of what he calls "European."

Now the reason this particular master may be earmarked by the sign is that he may play a prominent roll in preparing and aiding in the return of Christ, and if he is in incarnation he will probably be earmarked for an overshadowing by the Master of Masters as Jesus was with the Christ.

As I was meditating on this symbol, the work of the Master Jesus came to my mind and a strange realization came to me. Let me quote an interesting prophecy by DK:

"Upon the spiritual side, as I told you in an earlier book, the whole field of religion will be re-inspired and re-orientated from Rome because the Master Jesus will again take hold of the Christian Church in an effort to re-spiritualise it and to re-organise it. From the chair of the Pope of Rome, the Master Jesus will attempt to swing that great branch of the religious beliefs of the world again into a position of spiritual power and away from its present authoritative and temporary political potency." (From "Destiny of the Nations" by Alice A. Bailey)

"The Master Jesus will take a physical vehicle, and with certain of His chelas effect a re-spiritualisation of the Catholic churches, breaking down the barrier separating the Episcopal and Greek churches from the Roman. This may be looked for, should plans progress as hoped, about the year 1980." (From "Treatise on Cosmic Fire" by Alice A. Bailey)

This prediction was made way back in 1925 and a great attempt was made to bring it to pass very close to the 1980 target date. Can you figure out who the master Jesus was around this time period and what happened to the plan?
