In The SECRET DOCTRINE H.P.Blavatsky gives us in brief a
synopsis of our condition and potential:

She says:

“Starting upon the long journey immaculate; descending more and
more into sinful matter, and having connected himself with every
atom in manifested Space -- the Pilgrim, having struggled through
and suffered in every form of life and being, is only at the
bottom of the valley of matter, and half through his cycle, when
he has identified himself with collective Humanity. This, he has
made in his own image. In order to progress upwards and
homewards, the "God" has now to ascend the weary uphill path of
the Golgotha of Life. It is the martyrdom of self-conscious
existence. Like Visvakarman he has to sacrifice himself to
himself in order to redeem all creatures, to resurrect from the
many into the One Life. Then he ascends into heaven indeed;
where, plunged into the incomprehensible absolute Being and Bliss
of Paranirvana, he reigns unconditionally, and whence he will
re-descend again at the next "coming," which one portion of
humanity expects in its dead-letter sense as the second advent,
and the other as the last "Kalki Avatar."
