SPIRIT OF GOODWILL

Return of the Coming One

When Will the Coming One Appear? 

The coming teacher will appear in three ways:  

•     As a stimulation of human minds towards thoughts of goodwill and brotherhood.

•     As an awakening of human hearts to love and inclusiveness.

•     As a Being in physical form to guide and teach humanity.  

There have always been mediators between the highest spiritual Being or Source in our universe and humanity. Such great Teachers have expressed love and wisdom in their purest form. Unfortunately humanity over centuries often distorts their teaching and creates dogmas that may cause intelligent humanity to reject the concept of the Coming One.  

We can, however, expect a Being who has a complete identification with all human problems whether political, religious, psychological, or economic. Such a Being will therefore understand the times better than the most seasoned international commentator. He or She will also have more knowledge and understanding of the human heart and condition than the most enlightened psychologist.  

Those earlier Teachers, who have led humanity further on their spiritual journey, have always been in touch with their times. So we can expect the coming World Teacher to move us into a better understanding of why we are here and where we are going. Hence we can rest assured that this Teacher will not endorse or underscore any existing dogma, for He or She will express the truth before it becomes dogmatic.  

Humanity is passing through a unique and critical time wherein old forms are dying out and new ones are coming to life. In such times of crisis, and to sound the note for a New Civilization, a Teacher always comes forth. The arrival date for the Coming One is dependent on the focussed and massed intent of all those individuals and groups who can invoke this event with hope and expectancy.  

The return of the World Teacher may take place in any nation or culture. As He or She will be in touch with all modern communications and systems we can expect that "every eye shall see and every ear shall hear." We must not expect that the Coming One will copy previous appearances that occurred before modern technology was developed. Modern communication systems can always be used as vehicles for the Truth.  

It is possible that the Teacher will choose to manifest through some political vehicle such as the United Nations or through some modern educational movement. It is not necessary, and perhaps unlikely, that an existing religious base be used for the reappearance because each expression through the ages reveals a new aspect of the truth that is in keeping with the times.  

We are already witnessing changes within humanity suggesting that right human relations are developing in every department of life. A new era of helpfulness is manifesting, indicating that serving individuals and groups of all kinds are in a position to invoke the waiting Teacher. Even in the current areas of international conflict we note that the world community works to contain the "infection," and this contrasts greatly with wars in previous decades.  

It has been suggested that the Coming One will come when a measure of peace has been restored, when the principle of sharing is in process of controlling economic affairs, and when religious and political groups have begun to clean house. We do witness these days attempts to clean house in these areas plus attempts to improve the global economy.  

In order to help with the preparatory work an ancient prayer called "The Great Invocation" was given out in 1945 at the end of World War II. It is a world prayer translated into many languages and used by millions, and its daily use is said to be the most potent means for humanity to prepare the way for the Coming One. Will you help by using this Invocation daily?  

From the Point of Light within the Mind of God, let Light stream forth into human minds, let Light descend on Earth.   From the Point of Love within the Heart of God, let Love stream forth into human hearts, may the Coming One return to Earth.  From the center where the Will of God is known, let Purpose guide all little human wills, the Purpose which the Masters know and serve.  From the center which we call the human race, let the Plan of Love, and Light work out, and may it seal the door where evil dwells.  Let Light, and Love, and Power restore the Plan on Earth.
