What is it that should be accomplished at each momentous full
moon in May? I shall state the objectives sequentially and [689] in the order of their
importance, and with as much clarity and brevity as this abstruse subject permits.
- The
releasing of certain energies which can potently affect humanity, and which will, if
released, stimulate the spirit of love, of brotherhood and of good will on the earth.
These energies are as definite and as real as those energies with which science occupies
itself and calls the "cosmic rays". I am speaking of real energies and not of
emotionally desired abstractions.
- The fusion
of all the men of good will in the world into an integrated responsive whole.
- The
invocation and the response of certain great Beings, Whose work can and will be possible
if the first of the objectives is achieved through the accomplishment of the second
objective. Ponder on this synthesis of the three objectives. By what name these Living
Forces are called is entirely immaterial. They can be regarded as the vice-regents of God,
Who can and will cooperate with the Spirit of Life and of Love upon our planet, the One in
Whom we live and move and have our being. They may be regarded by certain thinkers as the
Archangels of the Most High, Whose work has been made possible through the activity of
Christ and His body of disciples, the true and living Church. They may be regarded by
others as the guiding heads of the planetary Hierarchy, Who stand behind our planetary
evolution, and Who seldom take an active outer part in the world activity, leaving it to
the Masters of the Wisdom except in the time of an emergency such as this. By whatever
name we call Them, They stand ready to aid, if the call comes forth with sufficient
strength and power from the aspirants and disciples at the time of the May full moon and
the June full moon.
- The
evocation from the inner side of a strenuous and one-pointed activity on the part of the
Hierarchy of Masters, [690] those illumined Minds to Whom has been confided the work of
world direction. A responsiveness is desired and can be effective between the following
three groups:
- The waiting
and (at this time) anxious Hierarchy - anxious because even They cannot tell how humanity
will react and whether men will be wise enough to avail themselves of the proffered
opportunity. They stand, organized under the direction of the Christ, the Master of all
the Masters, and the Teacher alike of angels and of men. He has been constituted the
direct intermediary between the earth and the Buddha, Who is, in His turn, the consecrated
intermediary between the entire waiting Hierarchy and the attentive Forces.
- The New
Group of World Servers, composed at this time of all those sensitive and consecrated
servers of the race whose objective is world peace, who aim at the establishing of good
will on earth as the basis for future living and world expansion. Originally, this group
was composed of a handful of accepted disciples and consecrated aspirants. Its ranks have
been opened during the past ten months to all those men of good will who are working
actively for real understanding, who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the helping
of humanity, and who see no separating bar of any kind, but feel alike to the men of all
races, nationalities and religions.
- The masses
of men and women who have responded to the ideas which have been set forth, and who react
favorably to the objectives of international understanding, economic interdependence and
religious unity. [691]
When these
three groups of thinkers and servers are brought en rapport with each other, and when the
three groups can be aligned, even momentarily, much can be accomplished;
the gates of the new life can be opened, and the inflow of the new spiritual forces can
take place. Such is the Group objective and idea.
May I now make an inquiry? Of what importance is this full moon of May to you
personally? Does it seem to you of sufficient importance to warrant your utmost effort? Do
you really believe that on that day there can truly come a release of spiritual energy of
sufficient potency to change world affairs, provided the sons of men play their part? Do
you really believe, and can you stand practically by that belief, that the Buddha on that
day, in cooperation with the Christ, and with the Hierarchy of Illumined Minds, plus the
proffered aid of some of the Thrones, Principalities and Powers of Light, Who are the
higher correspondence of the powers of darkness, stand waiting to carry out God's plans,
when given the right and the permission of men? Your major job at this time is not to
wrestle with the powers of evil and the forces of darkness, but to awaken an interest in
and mobilize the forces of light and the resources of men of good will, and of right
inclination in the world today. Resist not evil, but so organize and mobilize the good,
and so strengthen the hands of the workers on the side of righteousness and love, that
evil will find less opportunity.
If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed in what I have told you, if you have
staunch belief in the work of the spirit of God and in the divinity of man, then forget
yourselves and consecrate your every effort, from the time you receive this communication,
to the task of cooperating in the organized effort to change the current of world affairs
by an [692] increase in the spirit of love and good will in the world during the month of
May. |
