Any student of the Alice Bailey teachings learns that the year 2025 is anticipated to be of vital spiritual significance. One of the key assertions is that a once-in-a-century event is scheduled to take place which could shape global events for the next one hundred years. This is the so-called Conclave of Masters. The purpose of the conclave is to review the state of the world and make key decisions about the future direction of humanity. The conclave meets in Shambhala which is said to be found at some undisclosed location in the Himalayas. According to some it no longer exists in physical form but purely on the etheric levels.
Many of us light workers have spent decades in various spiritual groups talking about 2025 speculating that something Divine and Magnificent is coming. Many of the world religions speak of a “Coming One.” However, so much of what has been envisioned in my lifetime now seems to be in jeopardy. For the first time since I can remember, I’m not sure the good guys are going to win, and I can’t tell you how unsettling that is. It’s more than unsettling – it’s terrifying, because it means everything I thought I knew about how the world works might be wrong.
For our encouragement, the promise of hope is predicted astrologically in that the 2025 conclave coincides with the energies of Aquarius, sign of the Water Bearer fostering goodwill and brotherhood. New patterns of living and human relationships are destined to emerge that will lead to a “New Age” which will be utterly different to anything we have known, according to esoteric teaching.
Clearly, the coming period will be one of trial and assessment. We shall all have moments of discouragement, and perhaps none of us will see the world as perfect as we hope it someday will be; nor, in this particular life, will we probably see ourselves as perfect as we would like to be. But we can work for—and see—many great improvements, both in ourselves and in the world. It’s up to us.
May the Power of the one Life pour through the group of all true servers.
May the Love of the one Soul characterize the lives of all who seek to aid the Great Ones.
May I fulfill my part in the one Work through self-forgetfulness, harmlessness, and right speech.
—Mantram of the New Group of World Servers
