The human soul is breaking through this opening and bringing to birth a new era of human consciousness
It is a painful birth because we have not prepared for it as well as we might have done
Cosmos creates for Infinity. Cosmos builds with co-measurement. Communion is imperative, and Materia Lucida is the consciousness of the cosmic rays. You are right in terming Materia Lucida the great Mother of the World. Verily, the Universe is woven with the yarn of Lucida and the lever of Love. You are right in calling Materia Lucida Cosmic Love.β from Infinity, sloka 52
…the human heart opens to the creative impulse of the soul and the realisation it brings of our shared life and common essence.
We live then in the one ocean of Life, flowing with the mighty currents set in motion by the divine Presence behind all that is β a point of being where the Mother and Father aspects are no longer divisible. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin described something of this realisation in Hymn to Matter (from Hymn to the Universe):
This I now understand. If we are ever to reach you, matter, we must, having first established contact with the totality of all that lives and moves here below, come little by little to feel that the individual shapes of all we have laid hold on are melting away in our hands, until finally we are at grips with the single essence of all subsistencies and all unions.
If we are ever to possess you, having taken you rapturously in our arms, we must then go on to sublimate you through sorrow.
Your realm comprises those serene heights where saints think to avoid youβ but where your flesh is so transparent and so agile as to be no longer distinguishable from spirit.
Raise me up then, matter, to those heights, through struggle and separation and death; raise me up until, at long last, it becomes possible for me in perfect chastity to embrace the universe.β Hymn to Matter – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
This reflects the livingness of the principle in the assertion by H. P. Blavatsky that “Matter is spirit at its lowest point of manifestation and spirit is matter at its highest.”
The Mother stirs within us a sensitivity to the vast beauty of life
Does it mean anything β¦ when I say that the ceremonial ritual of the daily life of Sanat Kumara, implemented by music and sound and carried on the waves of colour which break upon the shores of the three worlds of human evolution, revealβin the clearest notes and tones and shadesβthe deepest secret behind His purpose? β¦ I am not here writing in symbols, but am making an exact statement of fact. As beauty in any of its greater forms breaks upon the human consciousness, a dim sense is thereby conveyed of the ritual of Sanat Kumara’s daily living.βThe Rays and the Initiations, page 246-7
All of humanity is participating in an inexorable birth of something greater than we have ever known
The capacity to suffer, which is distinctive of humanity, is the outstanding conscious reaction to environment of the fourth kingdom in nature, the human. It is related to the power to think and consciously to relate cause and effect. It is a process on the way to something undreamt of today. β¦This same ability to respond through pain is not to be found (in the sense in which the human being comprehends it) in any of the subhuman kingdoms, nor in the superhuman kingdoms β¦ It is related to an aspect of the creative intelligence, an aspect and characteristic peculiar to humanity.
β¦ In this solar system, it has been developed and brought from latency to potency in connection with the substance of the human bodies through which the human soul is gaining experience. It holds the secret of beauty in manifestation, and its first expression can be seen in the creative perfection of certain phases of art for which man, and man alone, is responsible. No other kingdom in nature creates forms, produces colour and sounds in harmonious relation, except the human; all of this type of creative art is the result of aeons of conflict, pain and suffering.β The Rays and the Initiations, page 243
All that is created is born out of the love that radiates from the heart of the Cosmos. Pain is transcended by an expanding love that grows to embrace all.
