‘The Room must be seen
in its time aspect as well as its space aspect…its power and purpose
are revealed only when we observe its history from the moment it was
pulled down into the Earth dimension from the subtle plane of Truth,
- from the moment it began its history in Time, for Time is the
method by which sense, purpose, meaning is written into form, into
Space. Hence the chamber’s fundamental aspect of Integration is
revealed by this method and is understood by a thorough study of its
being in Time. In so doing we discover the role all powers and
forces play in the development, and how they are all a necessary
part of its history and must, each one of them, be integrated and
find their places in the new world. That is, the chamber reveals a
process of transmutation of energies, accomplished on the basis of
an integration of all powers – the dark and the light.’

here are
especially significant verses in the Rig Veda which make
reference to a new Heaven and a new Earth. The
phrase also figures most prominently in the last book of the
New Testament, The Revelation. We realise by this
across the continents, across the board, across the ages
happening that there must be something special here,
something to discover which may have the power to
transfigure our lives. And indeed this is so. The
revelations around the Mother’s chamber allow us to draw
aside veils that have clothed this mystery for thousands of
years.
I have pointed
out the unusual nature of the phrase due to its quasi
oxymoron quality. We can quite easily understand what a
NEW Earth might mean; but what of the really inscrutable
mention of a new Heaven?
No one has
explained how Heaven can be ‘made new’. It would appear to
contradict what spirituality and religions have always
sustained: Heaven is unchanging, extra-cosmic above all.
Therefore there can be no ‘newness’ attributed to it which
would be a contradiction in terms since ‘newness’ requires
movement leading to change, precisely a property of the
cosmic manifestation. By common accord Heaven’s very
essence is considered immutable, the epitome of stable and
unchanging extra-cosmic Permanence.
The verse quoted from the Mahamaya in Announcement 2, does
throw light on this precise situation: a ‘heaven made new’.
When it is stated that the measurements of the temple
projected onto the cosmos make of that universal surround a
‘perfection as well’, readers of the Chronicles and the
three Volumes of The New Way can readily understand
exactly how this elusive ‘new Heaven’ comes into being. We
have the entire process detailed in the Chronicles and
Updates: the ‘perfect measurements’ describe that ‘new
Heaven’. The temple’s Inner Chamber is the new model of the
universe sought after by many esoteric schools, the last of
which was Gurdjieff’s in the 20th Century.
