About
This is an outline of the scope and themes of a published book:
A program review of the Plan for Humanity in preparation for the externalization of the planetary spiritual Hierarchy and the imminent return of the World Teacher, a Plan being implemented by the Group of World Servers in seven major fields of service.
This book traces the evolution of humanity as it has become increasingly responsive to the divine will, that is to say, to Shamballa. Shamballa is a name used in ancient Eastern texts, the word and its meaning only gradually became known in the West in the last several hundred years. In esoteric teachings, we learn that Shamballa is used in connection with a once-every-century conclave, the date of the next one being 2025.
To help the reader begin to appreciate the spiritual significance of this momentous date, the author of this book outlines the entire sweep of human and cosmological evolution, including most importantly its spiritual dimensions for humanity and all the kingdoms of nature. This ambitious and finely executed undertaking is approached with scholarly rigor and spiritual insight.
The book highlights the many cultural achievements of humanity with which the educated will be familiar while placing them within the context of the spiritual energies guiding the destiny of humanity. It is therefore both a traditional history and at the same time nothing less than the spiritual and esoteric history of human evolution. The reader is taken on an intellectual and spiritual adventure that leads toward understanding the meaning and importance of the coming changes that will emerge following the conclave of Shamballa, 2025.
Note: This book will serve as the flagship to introduce the work of Catalonian mystic Vicente Beltrán-Anglada (VBA, 1915-1988)—both to the English-speaking esoteric community and the general public—in the context of the 2025 Centennial Conclave. VBA is one of three trusted sources introduced in this book providing reliable information about the work of the planetary spiritual Hierarchy.
The author has been commissioned to translate VBA’s books, originally in Spanish, into English. VBA’s Threefold Hierarchical Project is addressed in Chapter 8 of this book.
