In the Aquarian Age, as a result of the existing
combination of ray influences, humanity enters into an expansion of consciousness which
will reveal to him group relations instead of his individual and self-centered personal
relations. I would remind you that Aquarius is to be found in the upper half of the
zodiacal circle and is exactly opposite to Leo which is found in the lower half. Leo is
the sign of individual unfoldment and of the self as self-assertive. This highly
individualized sign consummates in Aquarius wherein the individual finds full expression
through the medium of the group, passing from service to himself and expression of himself
as a personality to service of the group and a growing expression of the Hierarchy to
which he steadily draws closer. To this end, the ray influences will increasingly and
steadily be directed. Humanity has reached a stage where the sense of individuality is
rapidly emerging. In every field of human expression, men and women are becoming
definitely self-assertive. The Old Commentary refers symbolically to this in the
following words: [146]
Those with vision can see this happening upon every side today. The water-carrier (another name for the world server) is starting upon his self-appointed task. Hence the anchoring upon earth of the New Group of World Servers, whose representatives are found in every land and in every great city. This, I would remind you, has taken place without exception in every land and they work on all the different rays; they express many points of view; their field of service is widely differing and their techniques so diverse that in some cases comprehension is not easy to the smaller minded person. But, they all carry the pitcher containing the water of life upon their shoulder, reverting to the language of symbolism, and they all emit the light in some degree throughout their environment. To you, who live and work in this interim period and in this cycle of transition, with all its resultant outer chaos and upheaval, is given the task of expressing steadfastness, service and sacrifice. Those are the three words which I give you. I have no spectacular information to give you, as has sometimes been the case. Too much of this engrossing and novel information can lead to deep seated insensitiveness. You need to absorb and to act upon the information you already have, before there is evoked from you that basic demand for further light which necessitates response from those of us who work within the limits of the Hierarchy. For that demand, we patiently wait. [147] |
