The Coming of Maitreya Buddha - A New Vajrayana Practice - III
Updated: Jul 16
As part of the new Vajrayana practice, in this Post I will introduce another two characteristics of the Initiations at the four cardinal points of the Mandala of the Heavenly Jerusalem -Spiritual Colour and Ultimate Reality.
Spiritual Colour
Spiritual Colour is one of the most mystical characteristics of any Initiation. It is a sacred meeting with the Divine Masters and merging with their universal bodies of Light. For instance, when we speak about the Diamond-white colour of Christ's aura, it is a Divine illumination and merging with Him. In his initiatic book The Testament of the Colour Rays of Light, the Master Beinsa Douno gave us the key to the Diamond-white Rays of the Spirit of Christ and His Initiation. The Diamond-white Rays of the Spirit of Christ 'open the seven seals and the seven eyes', cause the seven horns to grow,' 'hold the seven churches', 'form the seven stars', 'light the seven candles', 'sanctify the seven days', 'send the seven spirits'. They are 'fullness' and integrate life on all levels of Creation. The Diamond-white Rays of the Spirit of Christ 'lead to the Divine heart of Love and manifest all God's love, wisdom and truth'. So, when human beings are illuminated by the Diamond-white Rays, they receive Christ's Initiation and understand the greatest mysteries of Life.
In a similar way we can link with the Divine Light radiating from the other Masters. The spiritual colour of the aura of each one of them is the White Light, which integrates all colour rays from the Living God, but this White Light reflects the different essence of their initiations and conveys a different spiritual message.
Naturally, there is a direct link between the spiritual colour of a Master's aura as the living Light which illuminates the human consciousness and the element as a symbol of the transition from ordinary to cosmic consciousness. For example, we could merge with the diamond-white colour of Christ's aura only if we melt the 'stone of the ego' and awaken our higher Divine Self through the alchemy of Christ's Love. Therefore, the integral white light of Christ's aura is diamond-white, of Babaji's aura is radiant-white, of Buddha's - transparent-white, of the Master Beinsa Douno's - bright-white, and of the Holy Spirit's - fiery-white.
Ultimate Reality
Merging with the Ultimate Reality is the final goal of every spiritual path. It reveals the mystery of God's existence and the secret of the Universe. After dissolving into the Ultimate Reality, the human being becomes one with the Absolute Origin of Being.
The different spiritual initiations reveal different aspects of the Ultimate Reality. In Babaji's initiation this is the Absolute, in Buddha's - the Great Void (Sunyäta), in Christ's - the Lord God Almighty, in the Master Beinsa Douno's - God as eternal Love, Wisdom and Truth, and in the Holy Spirit's - the Creator. Of course, all initiations refer to the same Absolute Truth of Creation, but each one reveals a different aspect because of the particular cosmic season and the different universal principle in action.
The initiates in the Mandala of the Heavenly Jerusalem will experience the Ultimate Reality in different sublime states of consciousness, shifting easily from one to another. Their integrative illumination will shine with all aspects of Samadhi, Nirvana, Satori, Resurrection, Transfiguration and Revelation. Thus, the initiates in the Mandala, by merging with the Absolute Origin of Being, will become able to co-create with God.
It is easy to imagine the enormous amount of metaphysical ideas, archetypes and spiritual structures related to the various initiations and their interconnection within the system of co-ordinates of this celestial Mandala. In the end this is the Heavenly Jerusalem where humankind will live in a new state of consciousness, in the reality of New Heaven and New Earth. This is why the reflective and meditative work on the Mandala of the Heavenly Jerusalem could be considered as a type of New Vajrayana Practice.
I could summarise, that If at the beginning of the XX century the great Tibetan Buddhist Guru Tomo Geshe Rimpoché called for preparing the space for the coming Maitreya Buddha, now we could consider the Mandala of the Heavenly Jerusalem as a big step in this direction!
