| 3. When the sun moved northward that year (1942), the great
    White Lodge knew that the battle had been won. Their preparations were halted and the
    Masters then organized for renewed effort (through Their disciples) to bring about those
    conditions wherein that which was new and that which was in line with loving divine
    purpose could freely move forward. The war was not won by the surrender of [495] Germany.
    That was only the outer result of inner happenings. The war was won by the Forces of Light
    when the mental potency of the forces of evil was overcome and the "energy of the
    future" was directed or impelled by Those Who were seeking the higher human values
    and the spiritual good of mankind. Four factors lie behind the momentous happening of the
    release of this form of atomic energy, through the medium of what is erroneously and
    unscientifically called the "splitting of the atom." There are other factors,
    but you may find the following four of real interest: 
      There was a
        clearly directed inflow of extra-planetary energy released by the Lords of Liberation, to
        Whom invocation had been successfully made; through the impact of this energy upon the
        atomic substance being dealt with by the investigating scientists, changes were brought
        about which enabled them to achieve success. The experiments being carried forward were
        therefore both subjective and objective.A concerted
        effort was made by a number of disciples who were working in fifth and seventh ray
        ashrams, and this enabled them to impress lesser disciples in the scientific field and
        helped them to surmount the well-nigh insuperable difficulties with which they were
        confronted.There was
        also a weakening of the tension which had hitherto successfully held the forces of evil
        together, and a growing inability of the evil group at the head of the Axis Powers to
        surmount the incidental war fatigue. This brought about, first of all, a steady
        deterioration of their minds, and then of their brains and nervous systems. None of the
        men involved in the direction of the Axis effort in Europe is today normal
        psychologically; they are all suffering from some form of physical deterioration, and this
        has been a real factor in their defeat, though one that may be difficult for you to
        realize. It is not so in the case of the Japanese, whose psychological makeup is totally
        [496] different, as are their nervous systems, which are of fourth root-race quality. They
        will be and are being defeated by physical war measures and by the destruction physically
        of their war potential and the death of the form aspect. This destruction... and the
        consequent release of their imprisoned souls, is a necessary happening; it is the
        justification of the use of the atomic bomb upon the Japanese population. The first use of
        this released energy has been destructive, but I would remind you that it has been the
        destruction of forms and not the destruction of spiritual values and the death of the
        human spirit - as was the goal of the Axis effort.Forget not that all success (both good and bad) is dependent upon the sustaining of the
        point of tension. This point of tension involves the dynamic focusing of all mental,
        emotional and physical energies at a central point of planned activity. This, by the way,
        is the objective of all true meditation work. It is in this act of tension that the German
        people failed. This cost them the war; their tension broke because the group of evil
        forces who were impressing the negative German people were unable to attain the point of
        tension which the Hierarchy could reach when it was reinforced through the action of the
        Lords of Liberation.
Another
        factor was the constant, invocative demand and the prayers (articulate and inarticulate)
        of humanity itself. Men, impelled largely by fear and the innate mobilizing of the human
        spirit against slavery, reached such a pitch of demanding energy that a channel was
        created which greatly facilitated the work of the Hierarchy, under the direct influence of
        the Lords of Liberation. |
