The Externalization of the Hierarchy - Section II - The General World Picture
In this process of founding the kingdom of heaven upon earth, the same procedure is being followed as was used in the earlier stage of founding the fourth kingdom. The "seven men, each on his own lot," reach a moment of tension and of creative power wherein the seeds of life, which they contain within themselves, can come to fruition, and groups of such appearing seeds can appear in the world "on their own lot." Putting it more simply and in terms symbolic, and therefore more easy of understanding, we might state that the seven rays, expressing themselves in the human family through the seven ray types, are now at the stage of unfoldment where the process can be carried forward into the formation of the seven ray groups, and these in their totality will express the Kingdom of God. Groups will be formed which will be outstandingly of a particular ray type but which will work in all the nine major fields of human expression. These I outlined when indicating the work of the nine groups planned by me. However, let me here point out that the groups which I planned are not in themselves the coming groups nor are they the only evidences of the emergence of these ray groups in the world. There are several similar experiments going on at this time upon the various streams of ray energy and under the direction of various Masters of the Wisdom. The groups for which I have made myself responsible are second ray groups essentially and are in the nature of a tentative move to see if the time is really ripe for the distribution of such seed groups throughout the entire world. Will the response of humanity and the reaction of these groups be such that a network of them may be started on a large scale everywhere - groups which will be characterized by vision, cohesion, love, impersonality, sacrifice, persistency and creative ability? These are the questions which we, the teachers on the inner side, are today asking ourselves as we study the problem of the best way of helping the human family through this crisis. Bear in mind that the objective before these groups is [95] to relate the Hierarchy, and that for which it stands, to humanity; to bring into a close rapport the two centers whose energy must eventually be fused and blended into one whole. Perhaps you will grasp the underlying idea with greater clarity if you will remember the personal work which you should be endeavoring to do with yourself. This is, is it not, the effort to fuse and blend the personality and the soul, or the higher Self and the lower selves. To do this you have to realize that the illumination of the mind is a vital and essential factor. There are, therefore, three points to consider: the Soul, the illumined Mind and the Personality. To these three you have to add a consecrated and awakened heart, full of love to all, vibrant with compassion and with understanding. Bear, therefore, these four factors in mind: The dedicated oriented man - the personality The over-shadowing, spiritual man - the soul The illumined mind - the medium of relation The consecrated, loving heart - the expression of these three. This is the personality and individual correspondence to the broader picture and the world factors and the wider undertakings with which humanity is at this time faced. Just as in the life of the individual a man is confronted with the opportunity to function as a disciple in training with a view to initiation, so today humanity is faced in the same way with a similar situation and possibilities. The higher correspondence with which the Hierarchy is occupied at this time, and of which the outline just given is an inadequate analogy, is as follows: The intellectual center, Humanity, receptive, ready and expectant. The spiritual center, the Hierarchy, positive, deliberate and munificent - ready and waiting to bestow that which is desired, reached for and claimed. [96] The New Group of World Servers. They are the more advanced members of the human family, sensitive to hierarchical inspiration and to human need and to spiritual unfoldment as a determining factor in world affairs. Small groups which correspond to the illumined minds of the individuals - intuitional and acting as a cohesive element and a fusing factor between humanity and the Hierarchy. They are gathered out of the New Group of World Servers.
