Directed Purpose

Let us now get back to the "Reappearance of the Christ." The current chapter under discussion is Four. We have covered a couple of things here. It is an interesting chapter, but most of it is fairly easy to understand. There is, however one more point we will cover before we move on.

DK [Djwhal Khul] writes:

"The main object of the Hierarchy is so to distribute these constructive, synthesizing energies that the theory of unity may slowly be turned into practice, and the word 'United' may come to have a true significance and meaning. It is with this type of energy that the Avatar of Synthesis is peculiarly allied. He will convey to humanity, with the aid of the Christ, something for which we have as yet no name. It is neither love nor will, as we understand them. Only a phrase of several words will bring to us something of the meaning. This phrase is 'the principle of directed Purpose.' This principle involves three things:

    "1.   Understanding-intuitive and spiritually instinctual, but intelligently interpreted-of the Plan, as it can be worked out in the immediate future by the Christ and His disciples.

    "2.   Focused intention, based upon the above and emphasizing an aspect of the will, hitherto undeveloped in man.

    "3.   Capacity to direct energy (through understanding and intent) towards a recognized and desired end, overcoming all obstacles and destroying all that stands in its way. This is not the destruction of forms by force such as we have seen imposed upon the world, but a destruction brought about by the greatly strengthened life within the form."
(The Reappearance of the Christ - Chapter IV - The Work of the Christ Today and in the Future)

The significance of these divine principles will make little sense to us today; we are dealing with major mysteries. A mystery remains a mystery only when ignorance or unbelief exist. There is no mystery where there is knowledge and faith. All we know at this time is that the Christ will fuse and blend within Himself three principles of divinity; when He appears "the light that always has been will be seen; the love that never ceases will be realized, and the radiance, deep concealed, will break forth into Being." We shall then have a new world--one which will express the light, the love and the knowledge of God in a crescendo of revelation.

In his writings he often speaks of a new unfolding of an aspect of God which hitherto has not been understood or even seen by the mind of man. Here he calls this new revelation "the principle of directed Purpose."

Read over the above quote carefully and any other comments DK made of this and use your intuition and tell us your thoughts and understanding concerning this principle.

  

"I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing."
