The Chain of Awakening

Throughout the twelve Ages of History in this world (from the Age of Scorpio to the Age of Sagittarius), many Revelators, Anointed Ones, Prophets, appear; but they are all links, ultimately, of one same spiritual Chain, known through various names, the simplest of which is the “Chain of Awakening”.

The great articulations in the unfolding of the Chain take place either at the beginning, or some time during the first half of an Age (the last Ages lasted about two millennia each), with the advent of Anointed Ones bearers of the central Message for the Age.

Each time a new Anointed One appears, he receives the Torch from the whole Chain through the previous Anointed One, in a supra-physical transmission, directly from the spiritual plane; he then passes the Torch on to his disciples on Earth, which is the start of a Tradition. So there are two levels of transmission, one celestial and one terrestrial. The second level is somehow, with the passing of time, subject to a diminution of light, due to the condition of the human mind; relative conceptions can shroud the original Message. (Relative aspects may also have been present from the start, as often a Prophet delivers a partial Message while maintaining elements pertaining to the culture he addresses himself to.)  When an Anointed One comes, he often has to rectify elements in a particular Tradition originally stemming from a Revelation. Sometimes, a Prophet has the mission to start an altogether new, “marginal” line, seemingly distinct from any previous traditionBut one way or another all traditions are branches or sub-branches of the same Tree of Revelation. Above, it is the one and undivided Chain of Awakening; and on Earth it appears diversified, with two main lines: the Brahminical line, and the Abrahamic one.

The first line started in the Age of Scorpio, and the second in the Age of Aries. The first Anointed One, Ĥanoķ (Enoch), ascended to Heaven without starting a spiritual filiation on Earth; so in a sense the first line is considered to start with the second link of the Chain, Noaĥ, the Anointed One for the Age of Libra, through whom the Divine manifested a civilization based on revealed laws: this is the Vedic civilization (from “Veda”, the sacred Knowledge, based on the root “Vidya”, “Knowledge” in Sanskrit), originally universal, and which at some point became limited to the Indian sub-continent (though in one degree or another, remnants of the primordial Tradition are found everywhere).

It is also referred to as the “Brahminical culture”, from “Brahmana”, the spiritual order (originally not hereditary). The root “Brahm” refers to the Spirit.

In the Vedic Tradition, Noaĥ is known as Vaivashvata Manu. In the Tradition of Israel, it is said that Noaĥ gave laws to Mankind; the same in the Vedic Tradition, whose laws are said to have been given by Manu.

The last Anointed One, bearer of the Message of the Age, in the Brahminical line, was Krishna, the Revelator for the Age of Taurus, who appeared around 5200 years ago.

At the beginning of the Age of Aries (around four thousand years ago) appeared Abraham, bearer of the new line. The Book of Genesis (chapter 14) reports of the blessing he received from Malkişedeq, King of Shalem (Jerusalem), who according to the oral Tradition of Israel was Shem, son of Noaĥ. Thus, the Tradition expounds, Abraham was made the new depository of the Primordial Tradition, which had been handed over from Hanoķ to Noaĥ and from Noaĥ to Shem. Abraham received spiritual transmission, like all Anointed Ones, directly from the spiritual plane, but also from a bearer of a remnant of the Primordial Tradition on Earth (of the whole succession after Noaĥ, and thus referred to as Shem, in the oral tradition of Israel).

The fact of the first curve of spiritual transmission extending into the second appears in a transparent way in the name of Abraham, A-Brahm, the Bearer of the Spirit, which evokes the Brahminical line. In the name of Abraham also appears the name of Brahma, the co-creator Angel/ Deva (representing the dimension of the Universal Man in the higher realm, as transparent to the divine creative potency), who, according to the Vedic Tradition, is also the spiritual Teacher of the Universe, and bearer of a spiritual filiation. The name of Abraham's spouse, Sara, is also linked in an obvious way to the name of Brahma's consort: Sarasvati.

Abraham begat Yişĥaq (Isaac), and Yişĥaq begat Yaaqov (Jacob), who received the name of Israel. Israel begat 12 sons, from whom stemmed the 12 tribes of Israel. In the people of Israel appeared the Anointed Ones bearers of the central Messages of the Ages of Aries, Pisces and Aquarius: Moshe (Moses), Yashua (Jesus) and Omer. Many Prophets also appeared in the people of Israel.

Because all the Anointed Ones bearers of the central Message of the Age, in the line springing from Abraham, appear in the people of Israel, the line is referred to as “line of Israel”; considering the Islamic Revelation, given through Moĥammed to the Arab people linked to Abraham though his other son, Ishmael, the whole line is also globally called “line of Abraham”, or “Abrahamic line”.

The starting of the line of Abraham did not imply a cessation of Revelation in the Brahminical line; the Supreme conceived specific tasks for both of them, with Messengers and spiritual teachers on both sides. The main Prophets in the Brahminical line since the start of the Abrahamic line were Gautama Buddha (25 centuries ago), and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (5 centuries ago).

Now is the completion of the whole line of Revelation, in the Revelation of the Eternal Book, the Complete and Absolute Truth, which will bring about the manifestation of the unified Fresco of Awakened Mankind, as conceived by the Original Person.
