Second Coming
The ascended masters teach that the Second Coming of Jesus (descending in clouds of glory, as depicted in the Chart of Your Divine Self) is the descent of the Lord to quicken our soul’s consciousness of “his” Christ as “our” Christ—the Universal One, the Only Begotten of the Father. This is the common loaf, or light, we share and identify as our own Real Self.
Their message is that those who are caught up in the Spirit of Christ through their fiery hearts and the purified etheric vessel (waiting in this earthly life or in the next world) will see Jesus Christ descending, and through him know the image of the Son of God as the God Reality to which they, too, shall indeed ascend.
The etheric octave is the plane to which the Lord Jesus Christ descends (from the highest heaven where he is seated “on the right hand of God”[1]) in his “Second Coming.”
Paul described his coming as “with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God.”[2] He said that those who are one in Christ’s consciousness (those in physical embodiment as well as those who have passed on and are in the etheric plane) shall be caught up together in the clouds (the etheric octave) to meet the Lord in the air (in the plane of the Christ mind).[3]
By the Lord’s descending grace and our willing ascent on the path of attainment, we will meet in the etheric octave of the heaven-world and from there we will follow in the footsteps of Enoch, who by faith “was translated that he should not see death, and was not found because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.”[4]
And we will mount with Enoch the planes of heaven above, viewing their respective hierarchical orders. These include the plane of Jesus Christ’s habitation (“In my Father’s house are many mansions.... I go to prepare a place for you ... that where ‘I AM’, there ye may be also”[5]), the ascended master octaves of light, the realms of archangels, Elohim, and so on, all leading, spiral upon spiral of infinity, to the throne of the Most High God.
Thus, the etheric body and plane is the meeting ground of heaven and earth where, one by one, souls advancing up the mountain experience the Second Advent of Christ, the rapture, and the resurrection.
