Bridging Between Worlds - September 2019
The Triangles work brings spirit and matter into a closer relationship through the power of lighted thought. There is the material world, the world of form, of objects and appearances – the world with which most people are familiar. In contrast, from the perspective of Eastern philosophy, there are “Events, circumstances, happenings and physical phenomena of every kind [which] are simply symbols of what is occurring in the inner worlds…” 1.
Bridging to a higher level of consciousness is today an urgent necessity because the concrete mind and its rationalising nature are unable to find a way through the many complex problems that confront us all. The mind must be set free to soar to new heights to see the world from a higher vantage point. This freedom is developed through meditation and use of the creative imagination, bringing awareness of a higher consciousness, allowing access to the spiritual worlds and the “raincloud of knowable things” 2. Therefore, the challenge for thinking humanity is to augment the intellect with the intuition, which is a higher power than the mind.3 A key result of this bridging process is that it draws down from the plane of the intuition qualities such as compassion and inclusiveness.
Humanity is a bridging kingdom between the spiritual realms and the animal, plant and mineral kingdoms. According to the Ageless Wisdom teachings, humanity’s destiny is to become the planetary light bearer bridging to a higher consciousness which can then be brought down to earth and applied to daily life. This is both an individual task and a group task with the individual bridge builder contributing to the collective bridge being constructed by humanity. Triangles workers contribute to this bridging work each day as they add their quota of light to the planetary network helping to uplift and transform human life and consciousness.
The spiritual significance of this bridging work, in the evolutionary process, is summed up with beautiful simplicity in the esoteric teachings:
To develop a station of light, through the medium of the fourth kingdom in nature, which will serve not only the planet, and not only our particular solar system, but the seven systems of which ours is one.4
This futuristic aim may lie beyond our present understanding but as the bridge to the higher worlds is imagined the amazing destiny that awaits humanity as the planetary bridge builder will become a reality.
