The Post Delusion Age Has Arrived!

Sacrifice means resurrection.

We die,

To be born.

Each night merges

Into a new dawn.

The pain comes from holding on.

Sacrifice is saying yes.

In the yes, we let go.

And

The pain ends

In the New.

It is, of course, true-

There can be no Phoenix

With out the ashes.

But

Phoenix focused, fused

To that rush and release,

Pain remains

Below

With the ashes.

And

Flying free

We wing

Joy filled- joyfully

Into New and formless

Light.

Sacrifice

Is the commitment

Of Summer’s full blown richness

To the gloriously incandescent furnace

Of Autumn’s kaleidoscopic color

And

The death white ash of Winter

From which has already

Sprung Spring.

Sacrifice is the doorway into Eternity.

The Post Delusion Age Has Arrived!

Objectively, therefore, the second ray work of teaching is the first to be organized. Subjectively, the first ray workers are already active, for the work of the first ray with its disturbing and destroying activity prepares the way; pain and disruption ever precede birth, and the agents of the first ray have been working for nearly two hundred years. The agents of the second ray started their preparation around the year 1825 and moved outward in force soon after 1860. From that date on, great concepts and new ideas, and the modern ideologies and arguments for and against aspects of the truth, have characterized modern thought and produced the present mental chaos and the many conflicting schools and ideologies, with their attendant movements and organizations; out of all these, order and truth and the new civilization will emerge. This civilization will emerge as the result of mass thinking; it will no longer be a civilization "imposed" by an oligarchy of any kind.
