The ageless wisdom

The golden thread

The New Age movements are a limited and temporal expression of the ageless wisdom, which finds new expressions in every era. However, behind the many variations, the essence of truth is hidden, which can be expressed in the following, twelve statements:

A Highest Reality exists, which we in the West call God.

All existing forms a unity, because everything emanates from God.

Life is immortal, and consequently death is not the end of existence.

The periodical law has effect in everything, and shows itself in activity and rest, in manifestation and withdrawal.

Life manifests itself cyclically, and reincarnation is thus a reality.

The cause and effect principle is evident at all levels, and karma is thus a reality.

The divine plan affects all creations, and this is the dynamic purpose of life.

The evolution of consciousness leads all living from unconscious to conscious divinity.

All realms of nature express aspects of divinity, and thus show the way back to God.

The human kingdom leads to the kingdom of God, and the enlightened Masters are the logical consequence of evolution.

Unity of mankind is a fact, and the kingdom of God must be manifested at the physical level.

These statements are central aspects of the ageless wisdom, which has had its exponents at all ages and cultures. In modern times a number of esoterics has appeared, who in a decisive way have influenced the human consciousness. As mentioned earlier in this article, H.P. Blavatsky and Alice A. Bailey hold a central position in this connection. Not because they have reached further than their contemporaries, but because their special gifts and capabilities made it relevant for the enlightened Masters to inspire them. Thus we will focus on their lives and works, which inspire millions of people all over the world today.
