Liberation from this nature-order means disconnecting our consciousness from its bondage to powerful illusions. Although we work to free our consciousness from these illusions, the struggle itself is very, very real.
As we proceed with our determined efforts to walk the Path of Return to a Good End, we will find that there are obstacles and hindrances sprinkled liberally before us, like boulders. Some of these obstacles are small boulders that lie in our way. We can just kick them aside or pick them up and throw them as far away from us as strength will allow.
Other boulders are medium-sized and a bit too heavy to lift and throw. These we can carefully step around to avoid, so as not to be tripped.
Then there are boulders that are as tall as an adult human being and wider than an automobile. They are so wide in fact, that we cannot get around them. They stand squarely in the middle of the Path, threatening us with their sheer weight and immovability. We find ourselves unable to proceed any further on the Path. What are we to do? What can we do?
It is here that we must rely upon our understanding of the Path. The Path to Liberation is not something that we can walk alone. If things were that easy, we would have succeeded in liberating ourselves hundreds of incarnations ago. We, as personalities, will not be able to do anything about these boulders. You see, the "boulders" represent our past karma, our old habits, our deep-rooted egocentric desires. These are things that are firmly anchored within the I-being itself and are therefore difficult for the I-being to remove. "We are reminded that "the I cannot liberate the I".
And so, we must wait on the help that has been promised to all sincere candidates, the help that is always at our disposal. Always with us is the inexhaustible strength of the power-field of the Universal Gnosis, the Chain of Brotherhoods, and our fellow travelers on the Path. We must recognize our helplessness in the face of such huge obstacles and know that the Power of the Rose will bring to us a solution to all such obstacles on the Path. One day we will look up, wipe away our tears of bitter defeat, and realize that the huge boulder has been removed. We will then pass safely and continue upon our Journey.
Such is the Path of the True Way. Such is the liberating Path of Return.

Once a person sets out on the path of return, is it possible to eradicate all the karmic baggage and 'wipe the slate clean' without requiring additional incarnations lashed to this vicious life cycle?
Can we draw a parallel with the biblical concept of salvation through repentance and forgiveness and acceptance of Christ?
Yes, we can draw a parallel with the biblical path of salvation; however if one looks at the life of Jesus Christ as portrayed in the New Testament, it will become clear to ‘those with eyes to see’ that Jesus went through five initiations: birth, baptism, transfiguration, crucifixion and resurrection. These same initiations are required to be executed by us. This does not mean we too must be nailed to a cross and murdered, as Jesus already did this for us. Hence, much more is required than ‘acceptance of Christ’ and this is what He meant when he said: ‘Follow me’. For a complete understanding of these initiations, see ‘From Bethlehem to Calvary’ by Alice Bailey.
Regarding your first question, yes, it is possible to ‘wipe the slate clean’ and not require another incarnation, if one’s program is executed perfectly, as was the case with Jesus. That said, it is highly unlikely that such will be our case, even if we are successful in executing some of the initiations. At a certain point, death is no more for such as these and eternal life secured, however, all karma must still be settled in the plane it was accrued.
For such as these, it is likely that one more incarnation will be required, after a time of respite and training upon the higher mental sphere. This is because the Universal Law of Cause and Effect (karma) requires that karma is settled within the plane it was accrued, which would be the physical dimension (in our case, Earth). The good news, however, is that after the Earth is reset and renewed (post tribulations and harvest time), Earth will be restored to a virtual Garden of Eden and walking the Path of Return will be much easier and quicker, once evil is no longer permitted to hinder our efforts.
Anonymous,
Yes, there is Grace for all those who sincerely walk the Path of Return. Yes, there is a direct parallel with the concepts of repentance (self-surrender), forgiveness, and the accepting of the Divine Christ radiations, the Kristos, the Gnosis, (awakening the Divine Spark).
Yes, it is possible to wipe the Karmic slate clean and yes, this can be accomplished in a single lifetime IF the candidate obtains the proper insight (self-knowledge), yearns to walk the Path of Return in dedication, humility and sincerity, surrenders control by the ego, and effects a fundamental and complete reversal in the way that the life is lived.
If these requirements are followed assiduously, the candidate will participate in a process of Transmutation and Transformation that is initiated and guided by the awakened Divine Spark, the Rose of the Heart, the Immortal part of the human being that resides in the center of our microcosm. This process, the Kundalini of the Heart will establish a new circulation of Divine energies throughout the personality. As a key by-product of this process, the accumulated Karma of the microcosm can be gradually and totally eradicated. It is then up to the candidate to desist from creating any new Karma in the current life. This is not something that the candidate can do on his/her own. It is the Divine Fire circulating throughout the personality that accomplishes this great feat.
From the foregoing, we can more fully understand the meaning behind this verse from the Holy Language: “Though your sins may be red as Scarlet, they will be washed as white as Snow”

Thanks Bro -g.
Brother Gee,
I been waiting a long time to write this comment because I don’t even know what to say
Anymore so far this path make me feel like there’s no purpose and I just don’t want to
Exist anymore, All I get is obstacles waiting at every door, I get rid of one and 20 is behind
It, This quest has turned me into a broken man, I am not selfish but I wish that I never
Came to being, I live two life with no ends inside, the delusion of this world is pure
Insanity, I don’t see nothing good but working as a confused machine, I used to believe
Something good would come out of this but I no longer believe so.
Brother Gee,
I know that you’re busy my brother but can you please post something soon, I come to your
Blog 3 times a day waiting for you to post something new, I feel like I am fishing in the
Ocean alone maybe the other fishermen left without me.
Sincerely,
Claude
