Esoteric Psychology II - Chapter III - Humanity Today - The Great Approaches

Such is the dark side of the picture and it is dark indeed and men are troubled and feel that there is no sure ground to be found anywhere. The present world situation has in it the seeds of dire trouble and catastrophe faces the people, as it has three times before, though on a much lesser scale. This can all be averted, however, if those who know the goal and see the vision and the emerging possibilities rally their force and - by the strength of love and sacrifice - offset the forces of hate and of death. As those who guide and teach upon the inner side of life look out upon the world they see in every country, in every race and in every religious body, thus coloring every ideology or school of thought (economic, political and religious) those who are moved by love of their fellowmen and are actuated by an earnest desire for their true welfare. I would like at this time to emphasize the following point:

A man's political and religious affiliations can be strongly held and inspire his true loyalty, and yet need in no way prevent his being an active part of the New Group of World Servers. They need not deter him from being actively on the side of world good will or provide a barrier to that spiritual sensitivity which makes him susceptible to the higher inner spiritual impression.

The servants of the spiritual Hierarchy and the world disciples are found in every nation; they are loyal to that nation's ideology or political trend of thought or government; the members of the New Group of World Servers embrace every political creed and recognize the authority of every imaginable religion. Men and women of good will can be discovered functioning in every group, no matter what its ideology or creed or belief. The Hierarchy does not look for cooperators in any one school of thought, political creed, or national government. It finds them in all and cooperates with [740] all. This I have frequently said, yet you find it difficult to believe, so convinced are many of you that your peculiar belief and your particular acceptance of truth is the best undoubtedly and the most true. It may be for you, but not for your brother of another persuasion, nation or religion.

Thus we find, as well you know, members of the New Group of World Servers scattered everywhere. They are the only agents which the Hierarchy chooses to employ at this time and to them is committed the task of doing the following things:

Restoring the world balance through understanding and good will.
Bringing harmony and unity among men and nations by the revelation of the widespread good will everywhere existent.
Precipitating, through spiritual perception and correct interpretation, the kingdom of God on earth.

This is a gigantic task but not an impossible one, provided that there is united aspiration, united sacrifice and the interrelating of the three groups:

The planetary Hierarchy, which is the spiritual Hierarchy called in the West, the kingdom of God.
The New Group of World Servers or the disciples and aspirants and the spiritual intelligentsia of the world.
The men and women of good will found everywhere.

The task, therefore, in the coming year of climax for which preparation must be made is,

first of all, to bring about this interrelation on a large scale through discovering those who respond to this message and idea;

secondly, to educate such people in the laws of love and of right understanding, which are in truth the laws of the kingdom of God which Christ [741] came to initiate;

thirdly, to reach and awaken the men and women of good will through the wide use of the radio, using it with wisdom and discretion, and the use of correct words and phrases;

next, to discover men of like ideas and so organize their minds that each will approach the problem in his own way but with the same world wide objective of spreading understanding and bringing about harmonious adjustments.

This will be done through the agency of the awakened world aspirants, the intelligent statesmen who love humanity and work self-sacrificingly for the general good, the men and women of good will (working each in his own place, city and nation) and the quiet work of the Units of Service cooperating with all the above.
