herefore, how important it is that the student duly considers the process of bringing about a uniform alignment, and a conscious appreciation of the vibratory processes of these two groups. as he brings this adjustment about, the effect upon the physical plane will be the manifestation of the powers of the soul, and of the healing capacity; the man will become a focal point for egoic energy and a server of his race. the black magician brings about similar results by means of the first group, only with the exception that he cannot align the knowledge petals in the two inner groups, as the love-wisdom aspect is atrophied in his case. he does, however, bring through the energy of the manasic permanent atom, for the force of mahat (of which manas is an expression) is closely connected with wha

work without attachment. these qualities are not easy of attainment by the average aspirant, and yet today the tendency to serve is an attitude which is true of a vast majority of the people in the world. such has been the success of the evolutionary process. service is frequently regarded as an endeavor to bring people around to the point of view of the one who serves, because what the would-be server has found to be good and true and useful, must necessarily be good and true and useful for all. service is viewed as something we render to the poor, the afflicted, the diseased and the unhappy, because we think we want to help them, little realising that primarily this help is offered because we ourselves are made uncomfortable by distressing conditions, and must therefore endeavor to amel

ease or relieve the sufferers. service is frequently an indication of a busy and overactive temperament, or of a self-satisfied- 75- a treatise on the seven rays- volume ii: esoteric psychology ii copyright 1998 lucis trust disposition, which leads its possessor to a strenuous effort to change situations, and make them what he feels they should be, thus forcing people to conform to that which the server feels should be done. or again, service can grow out of a fanatical desire to tread in the footsteps of the christ, that great son of god who "went about doing good, leaving an example that we should follow in his footsteps. people, therefore, serve from a sense of obedience, and not from a spontaneous outgoing towards the needy. the essential quality for service is, therefore, lacking, and

h some form of service. the tide is on. everybody is actively serving in welfare movements, in philanthropic endeavors, in red cross work, in educational uplifts, and in the task of ameliorating distressing world conditions. it is fashionable to serve in some way. service gives a sense of power; service brings one friends; service is a form of group activity, and frequently brings far more to the server (in a worldly sense) than to the served. and yet, in spite of all this which indicates wrong motives and false aspiration, service of a kind is constantly and readily being rendered. humanity is on its way to a right understanding of services; it is becoming responsive to this new law and is learning to react to the steadily imposing will of that great life who informs the constellation aqu

e must be based on right foundations and on sound understanding. perhaps the simplest way in which i can handle a theme so new and yet so hackneyed is by formulating certain questions and then answering them as fully and as concisely as possible. 1. how do we define the word "service? 2. what is the field of this science and why do we call it a science? 3. what are the characteristics of the true server? 4. what effect does service have? a. on the mind? b. on the emotions? c. on the etheric body? 5. does this science prove that the seven key or ray types employ distinctive methods in their service? the consideration of these questions will enable me to do three things: 1. show in my answers to each question that service is not a sentiment or an ideal, but that it is an effect and a scienti

it is the urge to group good. it cannot, therefore, be taught or imposed upon a person as a desirable evidence of aspiration, functioning from without and based upon a theory of service. it is simply the first real effect, evidenced upon the physical plane, of the fact that the soul is beginning to express itself in outer manifestation. neither theory nor aspiration will or can make a man a real server. how then is it that there is so much activity in service demonstrating in the world today? simply because the life, words and deeds of the worlds first great server, of the one who came to make clear to us what service essentially is, has necessarily had an effect, and men today are earnestly attempting to imitate his example, little realising that imitation does not net them the true resu

ility. all these laws of the soul (and the law of service is no exception) manifest inevitably in two ways. first, there is their effect upon the individual. this occurs when the soul has been definitely contacted and the mechanism of the soul begins to respond. evidence of this should work out now among the esoteric students, scattered over the world, for they have reached a point where the true server can emerge from their ranks, and give evidence of an established soul- 78- a treatise on the seven rays- volume ii: esoteric psychology ii copyright 1998 lucis trust contact. secondly, these soul laws are beginning to have a group effect in humanity itself, and to influence the race of men as a whole. this effect is somewhat in the nature of a reflection in the lower nature of a higher cons

ith its responsibilities, and the welding of the individual into an awakened group; it involves the imposition also of a newer and a higher rhythm upon world affairs. this constitutes, therefore, a definitely scientific endeavor and warrants the attention of the best minds. it should also eventually call forth the consecrated effort of the world disciples. what are the characteristics of the true server? these characteristics can be easily and briefly noted. they are not exactly what one may have been led to believe. i am not here speaking of the qualifications required for the treading of the path of discipleship or the probationary path. these are well known. they are the platitudes of the spiritual life, and constitute the battleground, or the kurukshetra of most aspirants. we are here

hurt any individual" those working under the law of service need no reminder not to hurt any individual. they often need, under the exuberance of spiritual stimulation and the intensity of their aspiration, to be reminded to demonstrate group harmlessness. 2. the second characteristic is a willingness to let others serve as seems best to them, knowing that the life flowing through the individual server must find its own channels and outlets, and that direction of these currents can be dangerous and prevent the rendering of the intended service. the server's efforts will be turned in two directions: 1. to the task of helping others to "stand in spiritual being, as he himself is learning to stand. 2. to aiding the individual to express his service in his chosen field as he desires to expres

ily shepherded into those activities which, en masse, work out as philanthropic endeavor, as educational experiments, or social efforts in the life of the community. the name of those who thus respond is legion, and the will to serve in this particular way needs no impetus. the remarkable response to the many recent campaigns to good will definitely evidenced this. but the work of the new type of server is directed towards those who are establishing soul contact and who can therefore work under the new incoming aquarian law. this centres around the capacity to stand, not only in spiritual being, but together with others, working with them subjectively, telepathically, and synthetically. this distinction merits attention for one can easily waste effort by entering fields already well handle

coming aquarian law. this centres around the capacity to stand, not only in spiritual being, but together with others, working with them subjectively, telepathically, and synthetically. this distinction merits attention for one can easily waste effort by entering fields already well handled from the point of view of the attainment of the units in that field. 3. the third characteristic of the new server is joyfulness. this takes the place of criticism (that dire creator of misery) and is the silence that sounds. it would be well to ponder on these last words, for their true meaning cannot be conveyed in words, but only through a life dedicated to the newer rhythms and to the service of the whole. then that "sounding joy" and that "joyful sounding" can make its true meaning felt. what effec

h i seek to do through all of you is largely at a standstill. the object of any meditation which i may assign to you is to enable you to have power in meditation so that you will no longer be pre-occupied with yourselves and your own problems but you will become unified with your group for group work and eventually for still wider group purposes my purposes, as your teacher and a world worker and server. with what kind of instrument, therefore, can i now work? every true teacher asks himself this question as he studies the grouping of souls with which he has associated himself and which he seeks to serve and aid. as integration of the group takes place, the pre-dispositions and the basic tendencies of the massed group qualities emerge and can be studied; weaknesses can then be offset and r

ity, your weakness will stand revealed to me, to- 61- discipleship in the new age- volume i copyright 1998 lucis trust yourself, and to your group brothers. we shall all profit thereby. you will have discovered an innate weakness which discovery of my identity will have drawn forth; if you are burdened by the knowledge, then you must learn to carry burdens or else you will be of no use as a world server. the fact that i am a master alters me not. i am still your tibetan teacher and the same instructor who has taught you for many years. i remain the same individual and am in no wise different. any reaction upon your part will be a personality reaction and, therefore, to be recognised, dealt with and finally subdued. let us go forward together, my brothers and chelas, along the path of servi

of effort, but you have rendered that service in set and crystallised fashion and have been too often unduly objective and not sufficiently moved by opportunity. you have served from a rigid sense of duty but you must now learn to serve with the loving spontaneity which carries all before it. the fluidity of the true disciple must be your goal and that out-going spirit which produces the magnetic server. your magnetism and your radiation need enhancing; that will take place as you transit out of the effort to unfold and to manifest divinity into that more advanced condition which is expressed by the words to "stand in spiritual being" there may also come into your life (as it does into the life of all true servers) an interlude or cycle of experience which may temporarily negate your prese

th degree in atlantean times had to evidence the right use of emotion. in aryan times, the initiate of the second degree has to evidence this. are you, my brother, prepared to say that this evidence can be produced? you entered this group work as the result of serious and earnest seeking, ancient karmic ties, much questioning which wrested response from your soul and the earned right of a pledged server who had worked steadfastly alone for many years. you brought to this group activity certain assets of a pronounced nature and certain liabilities, equally pronounced as have all the group members. my task is to use the assets in the group and to aid you in relinquishing the liabilities. i would ask you, therefore, to ponder on this matter, standing as the soul upon the narrow razor-edged pa

sponsibility you can shoulder and have always shouldered. sacrifice you have always rendered and understood. your values are sound on this and you want nothing for the separated self. comradeship, you are learning and it is not an easy lesson at any time for first ray souls to master and express. the littleness of the personalities and the pettiness of individual points of view are irksome to the server of the plan who stands, serene and detached, upon a first ray pinnacle of vision and resultant comprehension. i have three points to take up with you and my message to you is brief. i seek not to impose upon you a definite meditation, beyond suggesting that, as you face and shoulder an increasingly wide financial responsibility, you persist in that brooding meditation in relation to the pro

e, once mastered, release the soul to union with the one. surely it might be said that he whom i and you and all disciples serve, the christ, demonstrated in gethsemane his sensitivity to that lesson and also his mastering of it. note: this brother is still actively cooperating with the tibetan. to l. f. u. august 1937- 170- discipleship in the new age- volume i copyright 1998 lucis trust brother server: i have watched you for some years now, little as you may have suspected it. it was under my definitely applied impression that you found your way into my group of disciples in which you now work, and at the same time you found your destined field of service. i am glad to welcome you into this group of students. the personal touch is wise with you for you neither fear nor crave it. in the l

rightness of your choice of a field of service, and, secondly, strengthen your will so that you can stand as a tower of strength to others? are these not the two things which you desire and which constitute your aim, and do you not require assurance on these points, or is it re-assurance? go forward, my brother, looking not behind but with your eyes fixed in steadfastness upon the way of a world server. it is a hard way, with many ups and downs, and many steep hills and valleys of shadow, but there is rest and shade in the valley and sunshine on the hills. these difficulties your master knows, for he, too, has found the way hard, when he travelled it. in speaking thus, i refer not to myself; i am only your teacher and your friend. your life lesson is detachment, and in order to practise d

right way. this, in its turn, involves an inner brooding upon the quality and the need of the one to be served. this subjective process must precede all outer work; upon the strength and the persistence of it depends the success of the attempt to help. this process of inner, brooding reflection is oft omitted through enthusiasm and self-confidence. when, however, it has been accomplished and the server stands ready to help, then he can depend upon the needy one and circumstance to indicate to him the next step. i would have you reflect deeply upon this and i would have you begin in a new and a fresh way to endeavour to bring light to individuals with a pure, disinterested selflessness. i would have you work with discrimination, with purity of motive and with an effort to eliminate all per

glamour. it is of interest in this particular group to be reminded that this is part of the activity now being undertaken by certain people in the new group of world servers. through the emphasis in the world of certain basic ideas such as goodwill and mutual inter-dependence, much is being done to dissipate the glamour in which the people of the world are walking. it is not the function of every server to form part of the massed attack upon the world glamour which- 24- glamour: a world problem copyright 1998 lucis trust is now getting under way. everyone has to deal with glamour in his own personal life, but functions and activities differ. yours is the work of the trained observers, and that training takes much time. at present, many of you do not recognise glamour when it meets you, and

sonality. already you are battling somewhat with the illusion of ideas with which i dealt in my last instruction. you are thus beginning to develop that discrimination which will lead to right choice of life themes. in this instruction i seek to cast some light upon the glamour which confronts the disciple as an individual and also consider the aspect of glamour with which he must deal as a world server in training. speaking symbolically, i would say that the planetary astral body (viewing it from soul levels) is lost in the depths of a surrounding fog. when at night you look out at some clear sky, you see the stars and suns and planets shining with a clear cold brilliancy and with a twinkling blazing light which penetrates for many millions of miles (or light years as they are called) unt

lingness to do anything to show and evoke this sentiment, and consequently to be more comfortable in one's own interior life. the selfishness of the people who are desirous of being unselfish is great. so many contributing sentiments gather around the sentiment or desire to show those amiable and pleasant characteristics which will evoke a corresponding reciprocation towards the would-be lover or server who is still completely surrounded by the glamour of sentiment. it is this pseudo-love, based primarily on a theory of love and service, which characterises so- 46- glamour: a world problem copyright 1998 lucis trust many human relationships such as those existing, for instance, between husband and wife, parents and their children. glamoured by their sentiment for them and knowing little of

the inner light is like a searchlight, swinging out into the world of glamour and of human struggle from what one master has called "the pedestal of the soul and the spiritual tower or beacon" these terms convey the idea of altitude and of distance which are so characteristic of the mystical approach. power to use this light as a dissipating agent only comes when these symbols are dropped and the server begins to regard himself as the light and as the irradiating centre. herein lies the reason for some of the technicalities of the occult science. the esotericist knows that in every atom of his body is to be found a point of light. he knows that the nature of the soul is light. for aeons, he walks by means of the light engendered within his vehicles, by the light within the atomic substance

iangle of immense creative potency, upon which theme i will later enlarge when dealing with the science of triangles. the point which i am here making is that through the influence of mercury and neptune the group consciousness of the individual is developed, so that through the tests in scorpio and the experience in aquarius the disciple emerges on the physical plane into the position of a world server; all world servers are decentralised workers and are governed by the need and the reactions of the mass or group. that is one of the reasons why, when in training, disciples are absorbed into a master's group which is integrally a collection of individuals who are imbued with the group idea and are learning increasingly to react to it. in this world period and in a peculiar manner, as far a

ot fear death, or that which lies beyond it. the wise disciple labours in the field of service but looks forward steadily to the dawn of the "clear, cold light" into which he will some day enter, and so close the chapter for a while upon the fever and the friction and the pain of earth existence. but there are other phases of life experience wherein the sense of futility and frustration meets the server in the world today. from the angle of vision of a disciple, we might divide intelligent human beings into three groups, at the same time eliminating in our thought the dead weight of the unthinking masses who register desire but who as yet experience no sense of futility or frustration. they desire and are satisfied; or they desire and are thwarted or jealous or angry at those who appear to

these two; the two are now one. it was of this phase that st. paul was speaking when he referred (in the epistle to the ephesians) to christ making "out of two, one new man" it is primarily the phase of the final stages of the probationary path (where the work consciously begins) and its carrying forward to completion upon the path of discipleship. it is the stage of the practical and successful server; it is that wherein the entire focus and output of the life of the man is dedicated to the fulfillment of hierarchical intent. the man begins to work on and from levels not included in the three worlds of ordinary evolution, but which nevertheless have their effects and their planned objectives within those three worlds. the significance of integration the emphasis laid by most teachers and

gulated life programme, and the nervousness and strain which are the common lot today; it takes courage to attack life on behalf of others, and to obliterate your own wishes in the emergency and need. one of the points which disciples need to grasp more clearly is the well-recognised fact (and thus easily overlooked from very familiarity) that the assertion of one's determination to function as a server and as a disciple brings about a refocussing of all the forces of the personality and the soul (in unison; it is, symbolically speaking, a recurrence of the ancient event of individualisation upon a higher turn of the spiral, this time entered into with full conscious cooperation. this refocussing brings its own difficulties. it leads often to a distressing consciousness of one's own nature

rossed entirely in business, political and family ties, cannot form a part of the new group of world servers, because the group demands a definite measure of decentralisation; to this, habits of meditation rapidly contribute. as the members of this group meditate and serve, they will gradually find that they are becoming aware of an inner group the ashram of the master on whose ray the individual server is to be found. this will necessarily vary according to the ray; the ray it must be remembered determines the quality and the nature of the service to be rendered. gradually the neophyte swings into the rhythm of the ashram, and gradually his meditation changes and falls into line with the instinctual and constant ashramic meditation. it must be remembered that ashramic meditation is entire

ve by the master: 1. all ashrams are found upon the antahkarana. 2. in that light shall we see light. 3. the way of the higher evolution is ever preceded by the destruction of all other ways. 4. the will of god destroys the wills of men, but both are needed to complete the whole. 5. radiation and magnetism, invocation and evocation, are four aspects of a dual whole and all must be unfolded by the server. 6. the seven, the forty-nine and the one are only one and this the initiate must know within himself, discarding all but one. 7. loyalty must give place to identification, and the light is ever merged in darkness. these seven hints are all hints of which you can make use, if you care to do so. they all lie within your range of capacity and would contribute much to your unfoldment. you woul

eed alone upon the way of his decision, but i would suggest that you work in closer cooperation with your fellow disciples. it is essential now that the projected work receive an intensification of vitality, that it should expand through the potency of its innate life, and that there should be a strengthening of the integral parts already built. it is of immediate importance that each cooperating server should be fired with a new and fresh enthusiasm, and should get the picture of the world-wide scope of the desired plan. i suggest that the emphasis during the coming year be laid upon the objective aspect. the subjective quality has been presented, and this has been right because the subjective aspect of any form of expression must be living and expanding if the objective form is to take i

t upon the status of the thinker. for you, a disciple in preparation for initiation, as are all in my group accepted disciples in training i will suggest the following lines of approach. to you, the dream is the reaction of a high grade imparted knowledge and world need for service. the personality dreams of using that knowledge and meeting that need, and as he thinks of serving he thus becomes a server and a teacher. the vision is the realisation of the goal (embodied by the particular initiation for which you are being prepared; according to the status of the initiate, so will be the vision. it is the sensing of the united purpose and the spiritual intention of those who have already taken the initiation for which the disciple is being prepared. i cannot express this more clearly, as it

suspected and unrecognised, with which he must learn to cooperate, and it integrates him more definitely into the "lighted area" of our planetary life, bringing fresh revelation and vision but making the unlighted area dark indeed. the plan is as much of the hierarchical intent (as an entire and whole picture) as the initiate can grasp, plus an understanding of the part which he, as an individual server, must play. there is more to it than that, but i fear to complicate certain simple truths which i seek to have you grasp. the clarity of the vision and the grasp of the plan, it might be added, are dependent upon the conscious and intelligent construction of the antahkarana. you will see, therefore, why i have asked this group within my ashram to study the antahkarana instructions as given

initiation this radiation and the energy expressed become increasingly monadic and subject to three stages: 1. the stage wherein the lowest aspect of the spiritual triad (that of the abstract mind) becomes potent as the conveyor of ideas; these are transformed by the initiate into ideals for the service of humanity. 2. the stage wherein pure reason, plus the spiritual will, makes him an effective server of the plan and a transmitter, in a progressive manner, of the purpose underlying the plan. 3. the stage wherein pure monadic energy pours through him, focussing the will-to-good, as registered by the hierarchy, and the sense of universality (not a vague phrase, but a specific potency) upon the physical plane. a close study of these developing ranges of activity and of expanded consciousnes

lessed one, to attain the spiritual essence before the mind absorbs. not thus is wisdom sought. only he who has the mind in leash, and sees the world as in a mirror can be safely trusted with the inner sense. only he who knows the five senses to be but illusion, and that naught remains save the two ahead, can be admitted into the secret of the cruciform transposed. the path that is trodden by the server is the path of fire that passes through his heart and leads to the head. it is not on the path of pleasure, nor on the path of pain that liberation may be taken or that wisdom comes. it is by the transcendence of the two, by the blending of pain with pleasure, that the goal is reached, that goal that lies ahead, like a point of light seen in the darkness of a winter's night. that point of l

re to their meditation work. the organising of the mind is an all-day affair, and the application of the mind to the thing in hand throughout the daily avocations, is the best way to make study and meditation periods fruitful and bring about fitness for the vocation of disciple. with these assumptions clearly understood, my words are for those who are seeking to measure up to the need for trained servers. i say not, you note, those who measure up. intention and effort are considered by us of prime importance, and are the two main requisites for all disciples, initiates and masters, plus the power of persistence. in our consideration of these rules, i am not so much interested in their application to the magical work itself as in training the magician, and in developing him from the standpo

tion and the release of the creative will. these three approaches to the subject should be studied from their effects upon one's own self and development, and from their effect upon those whom one contacts and upon one's environing associates. may i interpolate here the remark that i make suggestions, based on experience in occult work. there is no obligation to obey. we seek to train intelligent servers of the race, and these are developed by self-initiated effort, freedom in action and discrimination in method and not by unquestioning obedience, negative acquiescence, and blind following. let this not be forgotten. if any command may ever emanate from the subjective band of teachers of whom i am a humble member, let it be to follow the dictates of your own soul and the promptings of your

desire and aims, and are comparatively free from the whirlpool of selfish tendencies. but their astral bodies are again and again swept into a state of agitation by the group for, and in which, they work. they are elated or depressed, satisfied or dissatisfied by the results they achieve or fail to achieve; this achievement or lack of achievement and the steadiness or disloyalties of their fellow servers produce agitation and emotional upset, and on this powerful reaction their thought-forms, constructed so diligently and prayerfully, come to naught. their "skill in action" is lost, because they are tied to the desired result and so their labour produces nothing. there are many other "conditions of the waters" which each aspirant can for himself supply. there is one more however upon which

the case of a beginner on the path of discipleship, do the masters expend the necessary energy with which to get en rapport. with old and tried disciples, the contacts are more frequent, being more easily achieved and bearing more rapid results. it should be remembered, however, that the newer the disciple the more he demands attention and considers he should have it. the old and more experienced servers seek to fulfil their obligations and carry forward their work with as little contact with the masters as possible. they seek to save the master's time and frequently consider an interview with the master as demonstrating failure on their part, and producing, therefore, regret that they have had to take the master's precious time, and force him to use his energy in order to safeguard the wo

of a state of mind which was the primary objective, and not the establishing of some impossible and mythical utopia, or of those material conditions whereby one group is entirely subordinated by the will-to-power of another group which enforces a standardised and uniform condition through the use of power in some form or another. the work indicated, and therefore set before the new group of world servers, is to enunciate those principles of national relations which underlie a world state or federation, and their instructions were to get the ear of the leaders in various countries, and thus slowly and gradually awaken the masses (through them) to the true significance of that easily spoken, but little understood word- 110- a treatise on the seven rays- volume i: esoteric psychology i copyri

that asiatics, nordics, jews, gentiles, americans, and anglo-saxons, the africans and all other world races are children of the same father, fed from the same source of life, and saved by the same divine christ principle. therefore the superman has been and will be found emerging out of the ranks of every people, to find his way into the ranks of the spiritual hierarchy and the new group of world servers. in america, you have the dictatorship of organised business seeking to regulate and control every department of the economic life of the nation, and cutting deep down, through the trained minds in the government, to the very roots of the national existence. that certain types of mind may regard this as an infringement of the liberty of the subject is of small importance, relatively speaki

one of the objectives of all esoteric training. men are intended to acquire the facility to function freely in either direction, and so with ease contact the life of god as it flows through those forms we call superhuman, and those which are subhuman. such is the emerging goal. the next few years will mark an intensive effort on the part of the hierarchy and on the part of the new group of world servers. there is a term set to their effort, and later this type of activity will end, and workers will enter into more extensive fields, if the work proves effective. should the spiritually minded and intellectually constituted people of the race fail at this time to initiate the plan, to wrest it out of the unseen and carry it into the realm of the seen, then we shall see a period of difficulty

lly laid plans of the watchers on the inner side. the word has gone out to rally all the disciples and aspirants of the world to an intensive work, and with that appeal from the great ones i seek to occupy myself. everyone is needed and must go forward with hope and certainty. the hierarchy is, with concentration, working and bending every effort to make the plan a success. the new group of world servers are being more closely integrated, and the work they are to do is being carefully planned. in london, in new york and in geneva are three centres of their activity, and at darjeeling and in tokyo there is a mustering of forces. i challenge the thinkers of the world to drop their sectarianism, their nationalism, and their partisanships, and in the spirit of brotherhood to work in their part

, and who have come to the realisation that the old ways of working must go and the newer methods must be given a chance. if you cannot yourself teach or preach or write, give of your thought and of your money so that others can. give of your hours and minutes of leisure so as to set others free to serve the plan; give of your money so that the work of those associated with the new group of world servers may go forward with rapidity. much time you waste on non-essentials. many of you give little or nothing of time. the same is the case with money. give as never before, and so make the physical aspects of the work possible. some give of their very need, and the power they thereby release is great. those on the inner side are grateful for the giving by those who can give only at great person

sons of the father. this, many christians find impossible to accept, and some of the best minds of the age have repudiated the idea. individual salvation is surely selfish in its interest and its origin. we must serve in order to be saved, and only can we serve intelligently if we believe in the divinity of all men and also in christ's outstanding service to the race. the kingdom is a kingdom of servers, for every saved soul must without compromise join the ranks of those who ceaselessly serve their fellowmen. dr. schweitzer, whose vision of the kingdom of god is so rare and real, points out this truth and its gradations of recognition in the following words "the descending stages of service correspond to the ascending stages of rule. 1. whosoever would become great among you, shall be yo

anding the least deviation from the place of duty and responsibility. such is the goal for the man who seeks to stand with christ in the founding of the kingdom, thus fulfilling the will of god. there is no other objective worthy of man's attention, nor one which will so absorb every power he has, every gift and talent he possesses, and every moment of his being. today the call is going forth for servers of the race, and for men and women who will work at the task of perfecting the self in order that they may be better equipped to serve their fellowmen and god in man. we are told that when we enter the world of ideals "the differences between religions become negligible and the agreements striking. there is only one ideal for man, to make himself profoundly human `be ye perfect' the whole

, and thus "glorify their father which is in heaven."15 they are not interested in self-aggrandisement nor with the making of claims of any kind beyond the one stupendous claim that they are sons of god, as are we all; they do not prate of initiation or call themselves initiates; they are satisfied to walk among men as those who serve and who are citizens of the kingdom of god. they are the world servers, and their only interest is in following the steps of him who went about doing good and proclaiming the tidings of the kingdom. they do not say that theirs is the only way into the kingdom, but to those who do not know christ they say "little children, love one another" they do not condemn those who know nothing of christ's sacrifice upon the cross, but they say to those who seek the way "

transmuting this self into not-self, each reality dependent on the other, an everlasting way of life to tread to perfection of each, of all."16 christ emphasises the same lesson, and always his disciples have sought, in their place and time, to teach the law of service. sometimes it seems as if the two extremes lived on in the consciousness of man the notorious and ambitious, and the great world servers. hitherto the sequence has been: service of ourselves, of our family, of those we love, of some leader, some cause, some school of politics or religion. the time has come when service must expand and express itself on broader and more inclusive lines, and we must learn to serve as christ served, to love all men as he loved them and, by the potency of our spiritual vitality and the quality

appearance of those who have passed beyond that stage, and of those who know, teach and demonstrate, so that the many constituting the intelligent group, composed of the self-aware individuals, can then identify themselves discriminatingly with group purpose, and submerge their separative identities in organised group activity and synthesis. this is the predominant task of the new group of world servers. it should be the aspiration of the world disciples today. this work of training the individuals in group purpose must be accomplished in three ways: 1. by personal, imposed identification with the group, through the experience of understanding, service and sacrifice. this can well constitute a useful self-imposed experiment. 2. by the education of the masses in the principles underlying g

g of the bridge on the mental plane" between the above mentioned three aspects. for the race of men as a whole, this work began in the middle of our aryan race, and is today going forward very rapidly. for the individual aspirant, the work has always been possible right down the ages, and it is the major task undertaken by disciples at this time. it might be added here that the new group of world servers is composed of those who are engaged in this work for the race, and every person who builds his bridge joins this group of occult "bridge-builders. there is, therefore, something symbolic about the work of our modern bridge builders who join the chasms and span the waters and thus give concrete evidence of the work being done today by advanced humanity. it now becomes possible to consider

ocus their attention on that which must be attended to at this immediate time. i would urge all disciples to do the same, for in so doing it is possible to bridge the gap and link the two shores of the higher and the lower stages of consciousness, between the old age and the new, between the kingdom of god and the kingdom of men, and thus to take their place in the ranks of the new group of world servers, whose arduous task calls for our sacrificing effort. conscious incorporation in the group necessitates the cessation of personality life, and brings out the subordination of the little self to the work of the whole. these words are easily written and read; they embody, however, the task of all disciples at this time. where this incentive and realisation are lacking, the disciple is still

hat to hold, one must detach, and to keep, one must release. such is the law. the soul has also to learn to relinquish the fruits or gains of service and learn to serve without attachment to results, to means, to persons or to praise. this i will deal with later. in the fourth place, the soul has to relinquish also the sense of responsibility for that which other disciples may do. so many earnest servers hold on to their fellow workers, and do not relinquish their hold upon them or upon their activities upon the outer plane. this is a subtle error, for it masks itself behind a sense of righteous responsibility, an adherence to principles as they appear to the individual, and the accumulated experience of the disciple, which is necessarily incomplete experience. the relation between discipl

ied forward. at this time in the history of the world and its periodical salvaging from conditions which are wrecking the current civilisation, it is necessary that aspirants grasp the fact that that salvaging process must be carried on under the law of sacrifice, and that only a relative outer unity can be at this time achieved. not as yet is the vision seen with a sufficient clarity by the many servers, to make them work with perfect unanimity of purpose and objective, of technique and method, or complete understanding and oneness of approach. that fluid, perfect cooperation lies as yet in the future. the establishing of an inner contact and relationship, based on a realised oneness of purpose and soul love, is magnificently possible, and for this all disciples must struggle and strive

ch others activities, and at the same time stand shoulder to shoulder in the one work, then the differences, the divergences, and the points of disagreement will automatically be overcome. there are three rules which are important to disciples at this time. first, see to it that you permit no rift to appear in the inner relation in which you stand to each other. the integrity of the inner band of servers must be preserved intact. secondly, pursue your own duty and task, shoulder your own responsibility, and then leave your fellow disciples to do the same, free from the impact of your thought and criticism. the ways and means are many; the points of view vary with every personality. the principle of work is love for all men and service to the race, preserving at the same time a deeper inner

keeping the channel open through which the needed wisdom, strength and love can flow. there are, therefore, to be found in this great task the following relations and groupings. these must be considered, and are as follows: 1. the forces of light and the spirit of peace, embodied lives of tremendous group potency. 2. the planetary hierarchy. 3. the buddha. 4. the christ. 5. the new group of world servers. 6. humanity. you will note that the buddha focusses in himself the downpouring forces, whilst the christ focusses in himself the outgoing demand and the spiritual aspirations of the entire planet. this makes a planetary alignment of great potency. should the needed work be accomplished, the needed adjustments in the world can be made. the success or failure lies largely in the hands of th

hould there be any waste time or lost motion. it will become apparent to you that much that i seek to accomplish is related to thought control and to the activity of the creative imagination. the hierarchy produces its effects upon the plane of appearances through the potency of its unified, conscious thinking. the establishing of such a condition of unified thinking within the new group of world servers is part of my major effort at this time; we can achieve little until that has been brought about. so i summon you to a new phase of intense, inner living and dynamic thinking, but this time with a group objective the objective of group fusion, group united thinking and group relation. it is the inner life of reflection, the cultivated recognition of the soul and the reflective alignment of

of this fusion will be the manifestation of the fifth kingdom in nature, the kingdom of god. in the past history of the race, a great event occurred which brought into manifestation the fourth kingdom in nature, the human kingdom. we stand now on the verge of a similar but still more momentous event the appearance of the fifth kingdom, as a result of the planned activity of the new group of world servers, working in collaboration with the hierarchy of perfected souls, and under the guidance of the christ himself. this will usher in the new age wherein five kingdoms in nature will be recognised as existing side by side upon earth. you have, therefore, been permitted to share in and watch the work of the hierarchy to the extent of your individual spiritual contact and have seen the following

owmen. this is in reality the organising of the outer physical army of the lord an army which has no weapons but those of love, of right speech and right human relations. this unknown organisation has proceeded with phenomenal speed during the aftermath of war, because humanity is sick of hate and controversy. the general staff of the christ is already active in the form of the new group of world servers; they are as potent a body of forerunners as has ever preceded a great world figure into the arena of mankind's living. their work and influence is already seen and felt in every land, and nothing can destroy that which they have accomplished. the spiritual and organising effect of expressed and voiced invocation has been also attempted since 1935, and the energy of the invocative cry of h

ertain of the great spiritual festivals where the relationship demonstrated includes not only the kingdom of god but also the father and the father's home. there is the festival of easter, the festival of the buddha who in physical presence expresses the spiritual solidarity of our planet, and the festival in june, peculiarly the festival of the christ, when he as leader of the new group of world servers employs the new invocation on behalf of all men of goodwill in all lands; at the same time, he gathers up the inchoate and unexpressed demands of those masses who seek a new and better way of life. they want love in daily living, right human relations and an understanding of the underlying plan. it is these physical happenings which are of moment and not the vague hopes and promises of the

activity is of no importance in the long run, but is only of a temporary nature. the second indicated move of the hierarchy would be the impressing of the minds of enlightened men everywhere by spiritual ideas embodying the new truths, by the "descent (if i may so call it) of the new concepts which will govern human living and by the overshadowing of all world disciples and the new group of world servers by the christ himself. this planned move of the hierarchy is progressing well; men and women everywhere and in every department of life are enunciating those new truths which should in the future guide human living; they are building those new organisations, movements and groups large or small which will familiarise the mass of men with the reality of the need and the mode of meeting it. t

of the christ copyright 1998 lucis trust received him; today the clouds which cover our planet are waiting to reveal him. he is now waiting to descend. this descent into our unhappy world of men can present him with no alluring picture. from the quiet mountain retreat where he has waited, guided and watched over humanity and where he has trained his disciples, initiates and the new group of world servers, he must come forth and take his place prominently on the world stage; take his part in the great drama which is there being played. this time, he will play his part, not in obscurity as he previously did but before the eyes of the entire world. because of the smallness of our little planet, and because of the prevalence of the radio, of television and the rapidity of communication, his pa

d forms, even if they could serve a useful purpose. their energetic denial of all that is of the past, and the destroying energy which they direct against anything which is of the old regime are likewise handicapping the efforts of the hierarchy. in these progressive forces, hope does indeed lie, but they sadly lack skill in action and have too great a love for destruction. the new group of world servers holds steadily to the "noble middle way (as the buddha called it) and seeks the decent burial of old forms, the implementation of that which is new and the restoration of that which has, in the past, proved useful and good and which could form the living germ of the new creation. at the time of the full moon of april 1945, during the easter season of that year and covering approximately a

truly the beauty of the emerging plan. it is with these few that the members of the- 10- the destiny of the nations copyright 1998 lucis trust hierarchy can work because they (even when lacking understanding) bear no ill-will or hatred to others. love is a great unifier and interpreter. this energy of love is primarily concentrated (for purposes of hierarchical activity) in the new group of world servers. this group has been chosen by the hierarchy as its main channel of expression. this group, composed as it is of all world disciples and all working initiates, finds its representatives in every group of idealists and servers and in every body of people who express human thought, particularly in the realm of human betterment and uplift. through them, the potency of love-wisdom can express

ray. this finds its expression through the third major centre on the planet; this centre, we call humanity. the evocation of a loving intelligent response to the shamballa impulse, stepped down by the hierarchy, is that to which this world centre should respond. this is rapidly and, as i have told you, satisfactorily, happening. a definite world effect is being produced and the new group of world servers has given much aid in this. they have interpreted, explained and assisted the processes of evoking the latent love in human beings which, in its initial and unformed stages, exists in the form of an inchoate goodwill. i call this to your attention as the underlying, motivating idea behind all the work which you are called upon to do. i suggest, therefore that you endeavour to see the three

mental reaction by the mental reaction of others, similarly receptive. it will be found therefore that this process of communication, governed by these two laws, has always been in operation among the adepts, the initiates and the senior disciples who are in physical plane bodies. now the operation of this process is to be extended and steadily developed by the emerging group of mystics and world servers who constitute, in embryo, the world saviour. only those who know something of the meaning of concentration and meditation and who can hold the mind steady in the light will be able to understand the first law and comprehend that interplay of thought-directed energies which finds one terminal of expression in the mind of- 4- telepathy and the etheric vehicle copyright 1998 lucis trust some

ing in the control of the soul aspect; and hence the emphasis laid upon character building and the need for meditation. 10. telepathic work between the hierarchy of masters as a group or a part of the hierarchy, and groups of disciples. there is little i can tell you about this, and you would not and could not understand. the experiment we are now making, in connection with the new group of world servers, is related to this form of telepathic work. some of these forms of telepathic work have necessarily their distorted reflections on the physical plane. these you might like to ponder upon, and trace the correspondences between them. what is "mass psychology" with its unreasoning quality and its blind activity, but a massed reaction to solar plexus impressions as passed from group to group?

been to take and not to give, to accept and not to share, to grasp and not to distribute. this is the breaking of the law which has placed humanity in the position of guilt. the war is the dire penalty which humanity has had to pay for this great sin of separateness. impressions from the hierarchy have been received, distorted, misapplied and misinterpreted, and the task of the new group of world servers is to offset this evil. these servers are to humanity what the buddhas of activity are to shamballa, and the group of divine contemplatives (the nirmanakayas) are to the hierarchy. it might be stated therefore that: 1. the buddhas of activity are themselves impressed by the will of god as it energises the entire planetary life. 2. the nirmanakayas are impressed by the love of god as it dem

activity are themselves impressed by the will of god as it energises the entire planetary life. 2. the nirmanakayas are impressed by the love of god as it demonstrates itself as the attractive force which impulses the plan inspired by the purpose. in other words, it is the hierarchy, impelled to action by shamballa, or the will-to-good, externalising itself as goodwill. 3. the new group of world servers are impressed by the active intelligence of god; they translate this divine impression and step it down in two great stages, therefore, bringing it into concrete manifestation. we now carry this conception of divine impression down to the level of the human consciousness. 3. the impression of humanity by: a. the hierarchy, through the stimulating of ideas. these demonstrate through a stead

forms, and the process of precipitation whereby the impression is enabled eventually to take tangible form. in the above exegesis i have given you much food for thought in connection with telepathic possibilities; it all fits into the theme of world service as it is to be applied in the expansion of the human consciousness on a large scale. this is one of the major tasks of the new group of world servers. viii. the supreme science of contact it would be useful if you attempted to master and to assimilate what i have to impart anent the three great sciences which form the three modes of expression of what we might term the supreme science of contact. these three sciences are all equally interdependent and all related to the art of responsiveness. they are: its three inter-dependaent modes o

ther that last afternoon she said "i have much to be thankful for. i have had a rich and full life. so many people all over the world have been so kind to me" for a long, long time she had wanted to go and had been held only by her strong will to finish her job and by her ardent desire to complete those arrangements for the future of the arcane school which would best help you and me to be better servers of our fellowmen. she had fashioned and moulded the pattern of our school through the years with the precision of her keen mind and filled it with the magnetic potency of her own great long-suffering heart. some have asked why she should have had to suffer for she did suffer mentally and emotionally as well as physically. i alone know how triumphantly she opened herself to receive the impa

spirit of true humility and understanding are contributory to the factors in a great spiritual enterprise which the hierarchy started in 1925. it is with one of these dramatic expressions of hierarchical purpose that i want to deal at this time. in 1932 when we were at ascona i received a communication from the tibetan which was published in the fall in a pamphlet entitled, the new group of world servers. this was epoch making in its significance though only a few people as yet realise its true meaning. the position taken by the spiritual hierarchy on our planet was that a group was in process of formation that had in it the nucleus of the coming world civilisation and was characterised by the qualities that would distinguish that civilisation during the next 2,500 years. these qualities a

of formation that had in it the nucleus of the coming world civilisation and was characterised by the qualities that would distinguish that civilisation during the next 2,500 years. these qualities are primarily a spirit of inclusiveness, a potent desire selflessly to serve one's fellowmen plus a definite sense of spiritual guidance, emanating from the inner side of life. this new group of world servers includes two definite divisions. the first part of the group has a close relationship to the spiritual hierarchy. it is composed of aspirants working towards discipleship under the guidance of certain of the masters' disciples who, in their turn, are directed and guided by a few world disciples whose work is on such a large scale that it is definitely international in scope. this group act

hall sit down together under the loving direction of christ when brotherhood will be established and men will be banded together in the bonds of divine relationship. the old barriers between man and man and nation and nation will, during the next 2,000 years slowly disappear. it was to inaugurate and institute this work that the hierarchy announced the emergence on earth of the new group of world servers, led and guided by disciples and spiritual aspirants who know no sense of separateness, who see all men alike, irrespective of colour or creed, and who are pledged to work without cessation for the promotion of international understanding, economic sharing and religious unity. the second part of the group in the organisation of the new group of world servers is composed of the men and wome

cleared the stage. the evils of wrong human relations, the wickedness of aggression and racial discrimination are made so apparent that only the stupid and unintelligent can fail to see the necessity for active goodwill. so many people of good intentions theoretically accept the fact that god is love and blissfully hope that he will make that love apparent in humanity. thus the new group of world servers was launched into the consciousness of modern humanity. the pamphlet outlining this ideal received the widest distribution and it was followed by other pamphlets on the same subject written by the tibetan and enlarging upon the basic theme of spiritual purpose and goodwill. the tibetan in these pamphlets outlined a definite procedure for us to follow. he advocated the building up of mailin

n groups. the arcane school has been in existence for twenty years and is now entering into a new cycle of growth and usefulness along with the whole of humanity and for this due preparation is being made. the keynote of the school is service, based on love of humanity. the meditation work is balanced and paralleled by study and by the effort to teach the students to serve. the new group of world servers another phase of my work came into existence about ten years ago when i started to write certain pamphlets for the general public, calling attention to the world situation and to the new group of world servers. i thus endeavoured to anchor on earth (if i may use such a phrase) an externalisation or a symbol of the work of the hierarchy. it was an effort to band together subjectively and wh

nd have interiorly pledged themselves to help their fellowmen. this great group constitutes the world saviour at this time and will salvage the world and inaugurate the new era after the war. the pamphlets which i wrote (the first of which is now called the next three years*(2) indicated their plans and purposes: and made suggestions as to modes and methods of cooperation with this group of world servers, already in existence and active in many fields. those whom the new group of world servers influence and with whom they seek to work and who can act as their agents, we call the men and women of goodwill. i made an effort to reach these people in 1936 when there was a faint possibility that the war might even at that late hour- 142- the unfinished autobiography copyright 1998 lucis trust b

and the goodwill work fell naturally into abeyance. that part of the work in which members of the arcane school had sought to serve and which had resulted in the forming of nineteen centres for service in as many countries had temporarily to be dropped but only temporarily, my brothers, for goodwill is the "saving force" and an expression of the will-to-good which animates the new group of world servers. i would emphasise that this work of anchoring the new group of world servers and organising the goodwill work has nothing whatsoever to do with the arcane school except in so far that members in the school were given the opportunity to help in the movement. they were left entirely free to do so or not as they chose and a very large percentage ignored the effort altogether, thus demonstrat

the pamphlets and, with f.b. for their publishing and distribution, a.a.b. has been placed in a difficult position and has been the target for criticism and attack. she knows however that time adjusts all things and that work done, if rightly motivated, proves itself eventually. i have, therefore, been interested in three phases of the work: the books, the arcane school and the new group of world servers. the impact made upon the world by these three aspects of the work has been definitely effective and useful. the sum total of the useful work accomplished is what counts and not the criticisms and the misunderstanding of those who basically belong to the old order, to the piscean age and who are therefore unable to see the emergence of the new ways of life and the new approaches to truth

sitive and the devotee. a.a.b. is responsible for the arcane school and i have dictated none of its policies or interfered in its curriculum. my books and pamphlets have been made available to school students along with the rest of the general public. i have sought to aid the goodwill work, for which f.b. is responsible, by suggestion and by indicating what is the work that the new group of world servers are seeking to do but no authoritative requests have been made in my name nor will they ever be made. the sumtotal of all these activities has been good; the misunderstandings have been few and have been inherent in the personal equipment and attitude of the critical. criticism is wholesome as long as it is not permitted to become destructive. personal training parallelling these major act

e in mind. the aryan race is now, however, so developed mentally and on a large scale that karma is truly horrible and agonising and can express itself through world conditions. at the same time, the present widespread distress indicates the extent and success of human unfoldment and is a most hopeful and promising sign. in this idea, you have the clue as to why the good, the holy and the saintly servers of the race carry in this world cycle such a heavy load of karmic ill. it is consequently quite impossible in the scope of this treatise to deal more fully with this subject of karma as it produces the many types of human ills, including disease only one of its manifestations. the theme is too vast, too complicated and too widely diffusing in its effect. all that one can do is to posit the

state of affairs? only symbolically, i think. as we look out over the world of the intellect and carry our thoughts from the points of living knowledge there to be found, we may become aware of areas of light (as we understand it) shining forth upon the physical plane. such areas indicate the shining light of some worker in the field, of some disciple, or of some member of the new group of world servers. i know, for instance, that such areas are to be found (as regards the united states) in baltimore, chicago, cleveland and rochester. by a peculiar mode of shining this indicates to me that there is to be found a centre where the newer knowledges anent man's body are to be found. i know that there are other areas of light existing all over the world. my work and the work of all the teacher

or energy left to make the vision true. there is, as you know, always a correspondence between the individual man and the world of men as a whole. just as today practically every human being has something wrong with him physically eyes, ears, teeth or bodily ills of some nature so humanity is sick and awaiting healing. the healing will be brought about through the medium of the new group of world servers and by the men of goodwill, aided by the hierarchy, from which planetary centre the healing energies will be drawn. imperfection has been drawn to the surface; the evils to be eliminated are known to- 392- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iv: esoteric healing copyright 1998 lucis trust everybody, and this has all taken place under the influence of the law of perfection. i am dealing he

amifications and various implications. the seething turmoil in which the masses of the people are now living and the emergence of one or two key people in every nation have a close relationship. these key people make their voices heard and evoke attention; their ideas are followed rightly or wrongly with attention, appreciation or distrust. the slow and careful formation of the new group of world servers is indicative of the crisis. they are overseeing or ushering in the new age and are present at the birthpangs of the new civilisation and the coming into manifestation of a new race, a new culture and a new world outlook. the work is necessarily slow and those of you who are immersed in the problems and pains find it hard to view the future with assurance or to interpret the present with c

recipients of the energies of the two higher aspects and, in so doing, salvages substance. esotericism is the art of "bringing down to earth" those energies which emanate from the highest sources and there "grounding them" or anchoring them. as illustration: it was an esoteric activity of a world-wide group of students which resulted in the giving out of the teaching anent the new group of world servers*(2) thereby grounding and fixing in the consciousness of humanity the fact of the existence and work of this basically subjective group; thus the work of that group was focussed and their redeeming activity intensified. all true esoteric activity produces light and illumination; it results in the inherited light of substance being intensified and qualified by the higher light of the soul i

chy, and it is through the two facts of sexual relationship and physical birth that the vast hierarchy of souls can achieve physical manifestation and attain spiritual perfection in the three worlds of human evolution. one could (and this fact should be carefully borne in mind) divide the hierarchy into two basic groups: 1. those souls who have reached perfection and achieved the status of divine servers. 2. those souls who are in the processes of evolution and passing through the periods of continual incarnation. the idea of generation, birth and subsequent manifestation runs like a guiding thread through all esoteric thought. the ancient teachers of the race, sent out by the hierarchy from time to time, ever employed the symbolism of natural process in order to illustrate and make clear

an ashram or to contact a master. the purpose of the arcane school is, and always has been, to help the student to move forward more quickly on the path of discipleship. it does not deal either with the problems incident to the probationary path nor of the path of initiation. the master djwhal khul has stated that in the new age the field of training for the disciple is in the new group of world servers. the decision to publish the record (or most of it) was an unexpected development to the tibetan but welcomed by him. he said that this act attracted the attention of other members of the hierarchy. the appearance of the first volume has already proved a major addition to the entire esoteric field, especially in terms of what modern discipleship really is, and the practical realistic attit

he soul powers into full expression on the physical plane. it is service which causes a divine manifestation or what you call a divine incarnation. if a man is truly serving, he will perforce draw upon all the resources of spiritual strength and light and all the wisdom and directing power of his soul, because the task to be done is always too big for the personality. some of the world's greatest servers are men and women who are very close to the spiritual hierarchy and working under its direction, inspiration and impression, but who know naught of esotericism so-called, do not recognise the hierarchy and (in their brain consciousness) remain unaware of its personnel, the masters of the wisdom. one of the tragedies today of the esoteric world is the vast amount of facts in the possession

e open gate. the work to be done is now outlined and you enter upon a fresh period of study, of effort, and of training. may i, in order to stir you to fresh decisive living, remind you that: 1. you are in training for initiation. therefore, face the future with clearer vision. 2. you are pledged disciples, therefore take up your task and move forward. 3. you are members of the new group of world servers, and have therefore, no time to be idle. 4. you are not alone, but your group brothers stand with you, and i stand also by your side. 5. that there is no task which is insuperable, and no way that is too long for you to tread it. you are a soul with all the powers of the soul and as you are linked with the hierarchy you are facing toward success. as i earlier said, i at this time shall not

construction work. one instruction will be for my disciples, and through them for the new group of world servers, of which they are a part; another will be for the men and women of goodwill, and through them for the world of thinking men. however, i might state that the background or groundwork of all that you may be asked to do is the triangle work. in the subjective work, the new group of world servers will be peculiarly active, creating the network of light; in the objective work, the men and women of goodwill will bestir themselves, creating the network of goodwill. the function of the new group of world servers is dynamically to "force" the energy of the will-to-good into the world; the average man and woman, responding unconsciously, will express goodwill. disciples, such as you are

vil group will leave humanity relieved but bewildered, beaten to the ground, but with enough strength to rise to greater heights- 29- discipleship in the new age- volume ii copyright 1998 lucis trust than ever before. for this withdrawal i ask you to prepare with intelligence, wise understanding and deep love. the work to be done by the world disciples, the world aspirants, the new group of world servers and the men and women of goodwill can be a determining factor in the new age and can tip the scales between a static and retrogressive activity and a steadily planned moving forward into light. you can play your part in this determination, if you so will. that you will do so, and that you will have the opened eye which will see the dawning light and the fading darkness is my earnest wish f

of human aspiration became more clearly emphatic; the new era, with its latent possibilities, can be seen upon the horizon, stripped of the veils of glamour and wishful thinking which obscured it ten years ago. the significant spiritual effects of the war can now be clearly seen, and i can begin to consider with you (earlier than i had anticipated) some of the problems with which you as potential servers of the race and pledged disciples can now deal. i could wish, as far as the immediate present is concerned, that you were all younger and had availed yourselves more definitely of the teaching i have sought to give you these past years. above everything else, i wish you were more courageous. does that word surprise you, my brothers? in considering this year as a whole, i question not your

closer relation to my ashram will not be possible because the heavy and lethargic quality of your group life would entail undue effort on the part of the other disciples in the ashram (and particularly in the inner ashram) in order to offset it. i am putting this to you with frankness as we together face the end of the war, and a period of renewed and different opportunity opens before all world servers. it is for you to decide whether your contribution during the war period measured up to your opportunity; it is for you to decide what part you will play, as individuals and as a group, in the coming cycle a cycle wherein the new ideas and ideals must be stressed, and for which a fight must be made, wherein the wider plans must be understood, endorsed and preached, the new and clearer visi

ity and pure motives which are the outstanding hallmarks of the disciple. one thing i would however like you clearly to grasp and that is the pattern which underlies the various aspects of the work now in process of expansion. a brief diagram should make the relationship clear, and these relationships are factual today: the spiritual hierarchy of the planet working through/ the new group of world servers using many agencies, among them- 62- discipleship in the new age- volume ii copyright 1998 lucis trust/ the arcane school working through/ the service activities the triangles, the goodwill work, the invocation work allied with/ the lucis publishing company the energy of the new group of world servers could be likened to the antahkarana which connects humanity with the hierarchy and provid

their forces for a renewed approach with its inevitable consequences. these consequences are the stimulation of the human family to a fresh spiritual effort; the process and the exalted personnel involved have been described by me in my previous message (a treatise on the seven rays, vol. ii, esoteric psychology, pp. 683-688; they will also bring about the strengthening of the new group of world servers so that they can work with greater effectiveness, vision the plan with greater clarity and within themselves as a group bring about greater integration. thus they can aid in carrying out the plans of the council of the hierarchy to meet the immediate human emergency. as i told you before, the plans for humanity are not laid down, for humanity determines its own destiny; the effort is direc

erarchy. it is possible for all aspirants and disciples to participate in this effort to the extent of rendering the task of the masters easier by their clarity of thinking, their renewed spiritual effort, and the rededication of themselves to the task of service. to this effort i call you. it is a continuing effort which will be spread over many years. the opportunity will be offered to all true servers and aspirants and, above all, to the new group of world servers to participate in the establishing of the necessary momentum in the immediate cycle. i call you, therefore, to a month of inner silence, of introspective thought, of self-control and of meditation, to self-forgetfulness and attentiveness to opportunity and not to your own inner aspiration to achieve. i call you to concentrate

these people would not be equipped throughout their natures in such a way that they were ready to become part of the occult hierarchy, even in the stage of accepted disciples. it was the realisation of the need for a bridging group which would be neither entirely negative nor entirely positive which prompted some of the masters (who are connected with the hierarchy) to form the new group of world servers. these people belong to neither group and yet they can function more or less in relation to both. this, as you well know, has been done with quite a measure of success and this large group now exists and is magnetic enough to draw forth response from the mass of world aspirants and servers (who represent the current civilisation and current culture) and at the same time to absorb and thus

ite a measure of success and this large group now exists and is magnetic enough to draw forth response from the mass of world aspirants and servers (who represent the current civilisation and current culture) and at the same time to absorb and thus transmit knowledge, wisdom, force and light from the planetary hierarchy. it has now been deemed possible to form groups within the new group of world servers whose members can begin to prepare themselves to express both the phenomenal and the impulsive, the- 23- the externalisation of the hierarchy copyright 1998 lucis trust negative and the positive, the material and the spiritual with such a measure of success that, in due time, there can exist on earth a replica of the hierarchy, its methods and techniques of work. such is the purpose of the

he problems of these groups. let me endeavour to indicate to you in what manner these groups can measure up to the threefold demand or opportunity mentioned above. 1. they conceal and nurture the germ or seed of the new civilisation of the aquarian age. 2. they bridge between the old groups and the new group, between the mass of men (of whom the foremost find their way into the new group of world servers) and the planetary hierarchy. 3. they will constitute in the future an aspect of the hierarchy and its work upon the outer physical plane. you will note that the first opportunity concerns the spirit aspect or the vital impulsive life aspect of divinity; that the second concerns the soul aspect or the subjective consciousness aspect of divinity; whilst the third concerns the body aspect or

those whom they have chosen to put in authority. there must eventually be a closer tie-up between the educational system, the legal system and the government, but it will all be directed to an effort to work out the best ideals of the thinkers of the day. this period does not lie so far ahead as you might imagine, particularly if the first move in this direction is made by the new group of world servers. this first move involves a right comprehension of goodwill. these three systems, which are the three major systems, correspond to the three major rays of synthesis, of idealism, and of intelligence, which are only other names for the rays of will or power, of love-wisdom and of active intelligence. 4. government by dictatorship. this type of government divides itself into three parts: a

eadily deflected from personal uses, both in the good and in the evil sense. i do not, however, intend to write a treatise upon finance. it would largely be a record of man's dire selfishness, but i seek to deal with money as the hierarchy sees the problem, and to consider it as a form of energy, prostituted at this time to material ends or to the selfish aspirations and ambitions of well-meaning servers. they are limited in their view and need to get a picture of the possibilities inherent in the present situation which could deflect much of this form of concretised divine energy into constructive channels and "ways of light" 3. a study of the law of supply and demand, so that there can be made available for the masters' work through the medium of the world disciples (of pure motive and s

goodwill is the mother aspect, and from the relation of these two the new civilisation, based on sound spiritual (but utterly different) lines, can be founded. i would commend this thought to your consciousness, for it means that two aspects of spiritual work must be nurtured in the immediate future, for on them the more distant hope of happiness and of world peace depends. the new group of world servers must be reached and the will-to-good developed in them, and the masses simultaneously must be reached with the message of goodwill. the will-to-good is dynamic, powerful and effective; it is based on realisation of the plan and on reaction to the purpose as sensed by those who are either initiate, and consciously in touch with shamballa, or disciples who are likewise a part of the hierarch

strophe and destruction on earth, primarily in the human kingdom. at the same time the second attribute of the will, synthesis, is evoking an equally widespread response. this sense of synthesis has a mass effect earlier than it has an individual effect, and this is a thing of interest and importance to note at this time. later, the dynamism inherent in the will, wielded by the new group of world servers and by the disciples and initiates of the world, will turn that instinctive mass response into factual experience and produce the "appearance" on earth of the new, developed "quality" which "life" seeks in the new age to demonstrate. in the first volume of this treatise, i called attention to the three divine aspects: life, quality and appearance. they are now in process of making their ap

ngdoms no names have as yet been given, because the possibility of their existence is only now just beginning faintly to penetrate into the consciousness of the disciple and the initiate. the sixth kingdom is that of the "overshadowing triads" that aggregation of liberated lives of which the higher initiates in the hierarchy are a part; they are to that spiritual group what the new group of world servers is to humanity. i know not how else to express this truth to you. the seventh kingdom in nature is that of the lives who participate in full capacity of understanding with the group of beings who are the nucleus of the council at shamballa. around the lord of the world this group pivots; their consciousness and state of being is only dimly understood by the most advanced members of the hie

n. the aid of the group is invoked almost in the form of an order. the point of this formulated injunction is that in the new era and in the interlude between the past (wherein prominent disciples worked within the veils of maya) and the new age (wherein humanity itself will consciously function upon the etheric plane, the work of the esoteric groups, under the direction of the new group of world servers, is needed. they will have the capacity to recognise the distinction between the various veils. this is the next needed development. the groups must focus the energy at the very centre of the group being; the group must carry the force from point to point and from veil to veil; the group must project the destroying energy and become unitedly aware of what each veil hides; the group must pe

nd throw into the shade all previous goals and visions. rule twelve the rule which we have now to consider carries us into realms of extra-planetary energy, into a world of a larger consciousness towards which the higher initiates strive and which is related in a peculiar way to both the past and the future. this rule might also be called the formula controlling the work of the new group of world servers. the three remaining rules for initiates and disciples are concerned with the work of the new age and the coming revelation which will make that work both new and possible. they are therefore of supreme importance to us. step by step, in the eleven rules already studied, we have seen the initiate or disciple carried from his position as an accepted disciple standing before the angel of the

chy as primarily energised by life, and by the energy of aquarius, carrying a hitherto unknown aspect of the life energy of deity. this is of course difficult for you to comprehend and will only be understood as it truly is at the close of the aquarian age- 149- a treatise on the seven rays- volume v: the rays and the initiations copyright 1998 lucis trust the initiate sees the new group of world servers brought under the illuminating power of taurus, with the rest of humanity still under the influence of pisces. you have, consequently, the "over-shadowing raincloud of knowable things" hovering over humanity, just as the hierarchy overshadows the new group and just as the soul overshadows the personality of man; you have all the needed illumination and light upon all the coming problems, w

herhood of discarnate entities promoted by people like the theosophical psychic of the post-blavatsky period, alice bailey,2 is a theme that remains well entrenched in parts of what is known today as the new age movement. alice bailey claimed to 'channel' an entity she called "the tibetan" and she produced a number of books, including hierarchy of the masters, the seven rays, a new group of world servers, and new world religion. she said that her tibetan master had told her the second world war was necessary to defend the plan of god. that sounds ridiculous to me, but there are many in the new age field who believe that everything is meant to be and is the will of god, the super elite- the black magicians 205 even a global holocaust. it seems like a great excuse to do nothing and a cop-out
