Dear Ones,
How are you?
My interest got piqued last weekend when I read the passage below in Whatever Happened to the New Age? by Master Djwhal Khul.
Knowing the theme of transcendence has been titillating me for a long time.
Especially, what does it mean to be “engaged in an effort to make the world transparent to the soul-driven process of transcendence?”
I am not sure I fully understand what this means, perhaps because this process runs at a subterranean level which is not obvious to many. Yet we can trust our soul to orchestrate what is timely and appropriate to further our evolutionary journey. An invisible, quiet director!
That being said, what are we here to transcend, really?
Our limitations, it seems, a few false beliefs, perhaps some difficult episodes in our childhood, but these do not get to the core of what transcendence is about.
Any “transcending thoughts,” dear Ones?

“Famous mythologist, lecturer and author Joseph Campbell, whom many consider the foremost authority in comparative world mythology, taught that the whole of humanity is collectively, if unwittingly, engaged in an effort to make the world transparent to the soul-driven process of, and longing for, transcendence.
Indeed, somewhere beneath the more obvious phenomenal world, with its many compelling appearances, is an eternal, creative wellspring that is perpetually streaming its energies into the experiential realm of humans, i.e., the world of time, struggle, moments of unknowing and, most importantly, the morphic field in which life and death take place. This rich flow of creative energy calls individuals to search for greater depth in the quest to ascertain life’s meaning as well as one’s own purpose. Further, its presence is an invitation for individuals to transcend the limitations inherent in the phenomenal realm. Often this process takes the form of an inner quest, or personal journey, and may mandate one or more archetypal initiations such as those related in the world’s great myths.”
