“For Leadbeater, the resurrection of Christ is our symbolic awakening from material slumber into astral life. If we can awaken to the reality of our situation despite our embodied condition, then we achieve a sort of solidity of soul that allows us to jump outside the cycle of reincarnation. In this state we can incarnate at our leisure in the vehicle of our choice. Now hinting at a sort of Bodhisattva-Christ ideal, Leadbeater suggests we might, after our own awakenings and ascensions into the astral (and then the transastral) planes, descend again to aid the evolution of humanity.”
