The Destiny of the Nations - The Influence of the Rays Today |
When the nature of the present struggle is better understood
and its subjective causes are considered instead of the superficial objective reasons,
then real progress will be made in the process of releasing humanity from the thralldom
and the narrowness of the present civilization and from the influence of the forces and
energies which are responsible for the situation. These will be understood, correctly
handled and rightly directed towards constructive and desirable ends. In the realm of this
conflict, the great and fundamental law that "energy follows thought" always
holds good, and one of the conditions which is inducing the present stress and strain is
due to the fact that so many millions of people are beginning to think. This means that
the ancient simplicity which has held good up to five hundred years ago is no longer
controlling and the situation is much more complex. In ancient days the forces were
largely controlled by the Lords of Materiality (those whom the ignorant and the prejudiced
esotericist call "the black forces"); the forces of spirituality plus the
thought of a handful of advanced men in the different nations were not so potent as they
are today. The situation was then relatively simple. It was part of the [36] evolutionary
plan that matter and substance should temporarily control and that spirit should learn to
"mount on the shoulders of matter" as the Ancient Wisdom puts it. Now, however,
owing to the widespread education of the masses and the many means of worldwide
propaganda, these masses are themselves either thinking independently or are thinking as
directed by the powerful minds everywhere to be found and which are seeking to control
world events. Hence the increasing difficulty of the problem and one that is equally
difficult for the Lords of the Left Hand Way as it is for the Great White Lodge. This is a
point which you should consider and discover the implications. Humanity itself is rapidly arriving at the point where its united will will be the determining factor in world affairs and this will be due to the unfoldment of the mind through the success of the evolutionary process. It is right here that many experiments will be made (and are being made today) and many mistakes must inevitably take place. The major requirement therefore at this time is the rapid educating of the people in the Plan and in the nature of the forces which are controlling evolution and their directing agencies. The fact of the Hierarchy must be announced in no uncertain terms, thereby arousing public interest, public investigation and public recognition. In the process of so doing much will be learnt of the balancing group of initiates and adepts who work entirely with the material side of life and in whom (for this major world cycle) the love aspect of the soul remains totally undeveloped, whereas the mind nature is potently expressing itself. If you will study what I have earlier given anent certain of the higher and lower expressions of the rays you will see how these two fields of endeavor - that of the Hierarchy, animated by love and that of the opposite pole, the Black Lodge, working entirely [37] through mind and substance - are engaged and their close relationship will emerge. You will realize then that the margin of difference is very slight and is to be found solely in intention, in the underlying purpose and the concrete objectives which this group of material workers have set themselves. The major instrument of the Black Lodge is the organizing power of the mind and not the coherent influence of love, as is the case with the Masters of the Wisdom. Yet in the natural process of form evolution, these workers on the darker side of life have their useful function. Because they are working predominantly through the mental principle, we find the susceptibility of the untrained masses to this mental imposition and the facility with which they can be regimented and standardized. They have no power to think with clarity for themselves and their minds are consequently plastic and receptive to the powerful forces directed by the two contributing groups - the spiritual workers of the planet and the material workers. Because the bulk of human beings are still materially focused, the forces which work on the side of matter find a line of least resistance which is not available to the Masters of the Great White Lodge. This danger is, however, lessening decade by decade. |
