CLOUDS OF HEAVEN, AS MIST
A symbol of obscurity to the lower mind, in
respect to the higher nature.
“Thereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of
power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.” — MATTHEW xxvi. 64.
At the end of the cycle, when the qualities approach perfection, the
indwelling Christ will be perceived in His positive, outgoing,
evolutionary energy, yet under temporary veils which must for a time
obscure the splendours of the Highest, but which will disperse as
soon as the glory and power of the Redeemer are revealed through the
rise of consciousness.
“If a soul has many doubts and bewilderments about Christ, and yet
knows that there is a Saviour, and that that Saviour’s home is in
the land of righteousness and truth, then to that land of
righteousness and truth that soul will go by any road that it can
find, eager to get there, seeking a road, pressing through
difficulties, that it may be in the same country with, and somewhere
near, its unfound Lord. It may be that the clouds that for us
mortals haunt that land of righteousness and truth may long hang so
thick and low that living close to Him the soul may still fail to
see Him, but some day certainly the fog shall rise, the cloud shall
scatter, and in the perfect enlightenment of the other life the soul
shall see its Lord, and be thankful for every darkest step that it
took towards Him here. And so for you hereafter, Christ in the
highest experiences, the purest raptures of this life and the other,
Christ in forgiveness, in communion, in fellowship of work, in
fellowship of glory; but now Christ in these first steps that lead
you towards Him, in the truthfulness and purity and unselfishness
and humility, in the struggle to do right, and the sorrow when you
have done wrong.” — PHILLIPS BROOKS, *Mystery of Iniquity*, p. 150.
