Brihaspati now Jesus

BRIHASPATI. [Source: Dowson's
Classical Dictionary of Hindu Mythology] In the Rigveda the names Brihaspati
and Brahmanaspati alternate, and are equivalent to each other. They are names
"of a deity in whom the action of the worshipper upon the gods is personified.
He is the suppliant, the sacrificer, the priest, who intercedes with gods on
behalf of men and protects mankind against the wicked. Hence he appears as the
prototype of the priests and priestly order; and is also designated as the
Purohita (family priest) of the divine community. He is called in one place `the
father of the gods,' and a widely extended creative power is ascribed to him. He
is also designated as `the shining' and `the gold-coloured,' and as `having the
thunder for his voice

An ancient code of law bears the name of Brihaspati, and he is also represented as being the Vyasa of the "fourth, Dwapara age." There was a Rishi of the name in the second Manwantara, and one who was founder of an heretical sect. Other epithets of Brihaspati are Jiva, `the living,' Didivis, `the bright,' Dhishana, `the intelligent,' and, for his eloquence, Gishpati, `lord of speech,'.

Annie Besant common men and women now masters

The 27 chapters of this book cover Atlantis, Peru, Chaldea,early Aryan, the Arabian, and the Iranian and will be covered later

The men and women in the table in Leadbeater's book are now masters,examples of which I have given in my former post .They have unfolded the God force within themselves .Their road was not only of toil but denied the flesh and mortified it. Peter once wrote if we do not suffer with the Christ, we will not be glorified with him (Him). These masters have toiled and are the superhuman. They have fulfilled what we are to be ,true, following the universal pattern of the zenith of our evolving into the highest spiritual perfection. They show what perfection is and their stories are accessible as a guide in our undertakings. The research was done and recorded.

I will check other allusions also listed below:

I will also consult the reference on Brihaspati.

'The Theosophist, under the general title “Rents in the Veil of Time”--
rents through which glimpses of the past of individuals may be seen. A volume of
these, named Lives of Alcyone,

Mrs. Van Hook and Don Fabrizio Ruspoli, were good enough to write down all
we said, exactly as we said it;

The names of those who constantly appear in this story as ordinary men and
women, but who are now Masters, may make those great Beings more real to some;
They have climbed to where They stand on the same ladder of life up which we are
climbing now; They have known the common household life, the joys and sorrows,
the successes and the failures, which make up human experiences. They are not
Gods perfect from unending ages, but men and women who have unfolded the God
within themselves and have, along a toilsome road, reached the superhuman. They
are the fulfilled promise of what we shall be, the glorious flowers on the plant
on which we are the buds.

Clairvoyance is indeed latent and capable of being developed prematurely of its generally evolutionary appearance and development if the price is paid for this premature development.

Other names have given rise to its manifesting,namely the marking of this phenomenon on different levels, such as dreams, prophecy,etc.

Clairvoyance is a tool to be used as research into the past. We hear of different forms of this in the Cayce readings of the Akashic records as well. Amid constant interruption of an encroaching world, this research is impossible and the idea of the retreat is in order, and necessary for this and any associated sorting out of "mystical experience."

They know that it is a power latent in all men, and that it can be developed by any one who is able and willing to pay the price demanded for its forcing, ahead of the general evolution.

The notion of occult hierarchy was postulated at the research at Adyar since the 1910 inception date: Note the quote below:

The broad Theosophical outline of evolution has been followed, and it is
given among the “preliminaries” in Chapter I. This governs the whole, and is
the
ground-plan of the book. The fact of an Occult Hierarchy, which guides
and
shapes evolution, is throughout taken for granted, and some of its
members
inevitably appear in the course of the story. In order to throw
ourselves back
into the earliest stages, we sought for our own
consciousnesses, present there,
and easier to start from than anything else,
since no others were recognisable.
They gave us, as it were, a footing in
the first and second Chains. From the
latter part of the third Chain and
onwards, we traced humanity' s story by
following a group of individuals,
except where this group was otherwise occupied
during any important stage of
evolution-- as in the beginnings of the third and
fourth sub-races of the
fifth Root-Race; when that was the case we left it, and
followed the main
stream of progress. In this record comparatively few details
as to persons
can be given, the sweep of the story being so large. Many detailed
lives,
however, have been published in 'The Theosophist, under the general title
“Rents in the Veil of Time”-- rents through which glimpses of the past of
individuals may be seen. A volume of these, named Lives of Alcyone, will, we
hope, one day be published, and to that will be appended full genealogical
tables, showing the relationships in each life of all the characters so far
identified. Work of this kind might be done ad libitum, if there were people
to
do it

Individuals retain their individuality but reappear under different disguises and names through out succeeding ages . This recurrence is postulated under the teachings of reincarnation and in Judaism is frequently experienced with writing afterward of it in the writings of Isaac Luria (the Ari) through his scribe/transcriber and called "soul attachment" and is the way for a soul to grow over an expanse of the aeons in the search for an evolving to perfection.

The link provides a table of the names of the masters and their appearances in their manifestations. They have grown to be the Masters as they now stand. Isaac Luria though not named was one such.

SURYA ...
The Lord Maitreya, the present Bodhisattva, the Supreme Teacher of
the world

MAHAGURU ...
The Bodhisattva of the time, appearing as Vyasa, Thoth
(Hermes), Zarathushtra, Orpheus, finally as Gautama; who became the Lord Buddha

BRIHASPATI ...
Now the Master Jesus.

VENUS ...
Now the Master Ragozci (or Rakovzky), the `Hungarian Adept,' the Comte de S. Germain of the eighteenth century

We read on the plane of history of Jesus (possibly in India at one time?)
and of St Germain. More of that later.

Faith without works is dead -imputed versus completed righteousness

http://http://www.biblechristiansociety.com/booklets/Sola%20Fide%20-%20Salvation%20by%20Faith%20Alone.txt

This is notes to an mp3 download I heard on this subject that faith is necessarily completed by works, without which to talk of faith is not possible and works are the sina qua non factor and that significant portions of James 2 are conveniently omitted by Luther.

These notes above linked are very definitive on the question of faith versus works.

Tradition etc

http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_founders_of_religious_traditions

The founders are at the focal point of revelation which is later amplified or revised on a basis that tradition serves to evolve progressively and enhances the growth of the traditional set of members as they are mature enough to handle a certain level of revelatory truth. Many founders lack the desired historical grounding we would require for a "a factual consensus", not historical as we know history to be. Perhaps meta historical?

Once a part and parcel of religion, the origin of the tradition is, often with a touch of miracle and marvel, attributed to a popular religious celebrity. It is here that all practices concerning various phases of life, from birth through initiation into the society, marriage, parentage, and death, take a religious form. Even eating, clothing, waking, walking, working, washing, running, resting, sleeping, and socializing have their religious ways of performing them. Tradition, religious or not, is present in every movement one makes, private, personal or otherwise. It becomes the *prescription* for life. The terms religion and tradition are, as earlier stated, used not only as cognates but also as synonyms. A tradition must develop to further enhance revelation as it unfolds to the understanding of successive ages. Thus a tradition is inseparable from and a necessary adjunct of initial revelation. (MY COMMENTS)

Tradition Religious and otherwise?

Religious Traditions-They each have the common familiar thread expressed in the first quotation: they hold G-d and man in one thought, a religious man suffers harm done to the community vicariously,his strength is love and compassion, and such a man or woman defies despair.

" A religious man is a person who holds God and man in one thought at
one time, at all times, who suffers
harm done to others, whose greatest passion is compassion, whose greatest
strength is love and defiance of despair. "
- Abraham Joshua Heschel
One day Ananda, who had been thinking deeply about things for a while,
turned to the Buddha and exclaimed:"Lord, I've been thinking- spiritual
friendship is at least half of the spiritual life!"The Buddha replied: "Say not
so, Ananda, say not so. Spiritual friendship is the whole of the spiritual
life!"
Samyutta Nikaya, Verse 2
In what is seen, there should be just the
seen;In what is heard, there should be just the heard;In what is sensed, there
should be just the sensed;In what is thought, there should be just the
thought.
He should not kill a living being, nor cause it to be killed, nor
should he incite another to kill.Do not injure any being, either strong or weak
in the world.
Sutta Nipata II,14
The greatest achievement is
selflessness.The greatest worth is self-mastery.The greatest quality is seeking
to serve others.The greatest precept is continual awareness.The greatest
medicine is the emptiness of everything.The greatest action is not conforming
with the worlds ways.The greatest magic is transmuting the passions.The greatest
generosity is non-attachment.The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind.The
greatest patience is humility.The greatest effort is not concerned with
results.The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go.The greatest wisdom is
seeing through appearances.
Atisha
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like
unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.On these two commandments hang
all the law and the prophets. "
- Matthew 22:35
Where I wander
- You!Where I ponder - You!Only You everywhere, You, always, You.You, You,
You.When I am gladdened - You!And when I am saddened - You!Only You, everywhere
You!You, You, You.Sky is You!Earth is You!You above! You below!In every trend,
at every end,Only You, everywhere You!

"Death's
grip can break our bodies, not our souls; If death take him, I too know how to
die. Let Fate do with me what she will or can; I am stronger than death and
greater than my fate; My love shall outlast the world, doom falls from me
Helpless against my immortality."
- From SavitriBook VI: The Book of
Fate Canto I Sri Aurobindo

Krishna

At last I find a meaning of soul's
birth Into this universe terrible
and sweet,I who have felt the hungry heart of
earth Aspiring beyond heaven to
Krishna's feet.I have seen the beauty of immortal
eyes, And heard the passion of
the Lover's flute,And known a deathless ecstasy's
surprise And sorrow in my heart
for ever mute.Nearer and nearer now the music
draws, Life shudders with a
strange felicity;All Nature is a wide enamoured
pause Hoping her lord to touch,
to clasp, to be. For this one moment lived the ages past;The world now throbs
fulfilled in me at last. SRI AUROBINDO


Evening Prayer for the Sabbath

In this moment of silent
communion with Thee,
O Lord, a still small silent voice speaks in the depth of
my spirit.
It speaks to me of the things I must do to attain holy kinship with
Thee and to grow in the likeness of Thee.
I must do my allotted task with
unflagging faithfulness even though the eye of no taskmaster is on me.
I must
be gentle in the face of ingratitude or when slander distorts my noblest
motives.
I must come to the end of each day with a feeling that I have used
its gifts gratefully and faced its trials bravely.
O Lord, help me to be ever
more like Thee,holy for Thou art holy,
Loving for Thou art love.
Speak to
me, then, Lord, as I seek Thee again and again in the stillness of meditation,
until Thy bidding shall at last become for me a hallowed discipline,a familiar
way of life.
