Letters on Occult Meditation - Letter IX - Future Schools of Meditation | |
September 28th, 1920 Today our second point comes up for consideration, and we shall in the elucidation of it enter into the realms of prophecy. I would here point out to you that the thing which is indicated as existing in the future may not always work out in detail as foreseen. I but seek to lay before you the big general plan in its outline. The working out in the future will depend upon the intuition or high [306] perception of the thinkers of the race and upon the ability of the incarnating jivas to seize upon the opportunities and fulfil their destiny. We touched yesterday upon the one fundamental school with its four branches. Today I would take up: 2. The National Subdivisions of the One School At the outset I would point out to you that not every nation in the world will have its occult school. Only as the causal body of the national group has reached a certain rate of vibration will it be possible to found and institute these schools. Only as the educational work of the nation has reached a certain height will it be possible to use the mental equipment of the nation as a stepping stone for further expansion, and to use it as a basis for the occult school. And, curiously enough, only those nations which originally had a training school for the mysteries (with three exceptions) will be again, during the earlier stages, permitted national schools. The exceptions are:
And even these exceptions might be considered only one, the case of Australia, for the other two in Atlantean days had their occult foundations when they formed part of the earlier continent. In the turning of the wheel, earth itself reincarnates; places pass into pralaya and emerge into manifestation, holding within them the seeds that will eventuate in similar vibration, and bring into being again similar modes of expression, and similar forms. It will be found later on, when the Occult Schools are founded, that they will be situated where some of the old magnetism yet lingers, and where in some cases certain [307] old talismans have been kept by the Brotherhood with just this aim in view. Branches, affiliated with one of the four central divisions of the one occult foundation, will be found in the following countries:
You have, therefore, the following schools as planned, and must bear in mind that the schools wherein the preparatory work and earlier grades are found will be first in order of time, and are in process of founding now, or will be founded during the period immediately preceding the Coming of the Great Lord. The founding of others will be definitely the outcome of His work, and that of His Masters, and will depend upon Their decision as to the success of the earlier endeavor. |

Greece or Syria leading to | Egypt |
Middle West, USA | California, USA |
Southern France | Italy |
Scotland or Wales | Ireland |
Sweden | Russia |
New Zealand | Australia [309] |
There is also
planned a preparatory school for the advanced egos of the fourth root-race. This will be
under the Manu of that race and will be situated in Japan, with its most esoteric
branch in western China. This makes the seventh in the group of schools outlined. It is not purposed as yet to have branches in Southern Africa or Southern America. Their day is not yet, but comes in the next cycle. Now, I would earnestly call to your attention that the schools will make but small beginnings and will be launched in a way that will appear at first as too unimportant to be noticeable. A beginning will be made with members of the different occult schools, such as the esoteric sections of the Theosophical movement, and others. The work in Britain, America and Australia is already in process of inception, whilst that in Sweden will shortly be on foot. The others will follow at slightly later dates. This much of the plan has been permitted publication as an incentive to all of you to study with greater aspiration and to work with more strenuous application. Each and all has his place in the plan would he but qualify by doing the necessary work. That work should be:
If these things are done great will be the day of opportunity. |
