An event is however transpiring upon earth which is, in its way, as
momentous and as important as that crisis in Atlantean times when the
physical, vital and astral bodies were coordinated and formed a
functioning unit. Then the "yoga of devotion" or bhakti yoga was
initiated for the training of the aspirants at that time. A physical
plane replica (as far as such a replica was then possible) was
organized of those who could work devotedly and who could learn,
through the use of ceremonial and pictures, some mode of activity which
would carry on the hierarchical work on earth and thus constitute a
training [399] school for those who later would be admitted into the
ranks of the Hierarchy. The remnants of this Atlantean group remain
with us in the modern Masonic movements, and the work of the Hierarchy
was thus perpetuated in sign and symbol. There has thus been preserved
in the consciousness of the race a pictorial representation of a
momentous planetary condition which worked out in the human family in
this threefold coordination. But it was primarily objective. Form and
symbol, tool and furniture, temple and tone, office and externalities
were the prominent factors; they veiled the truth and we have therefore
preserved the "outer and visible form of an inner and spiritual"
reality. ...
Today, in the world, another great moment of crisis has arrived. I
refer not to the present world condition, but to the state of the human
consciousness. Mind has arrived at a functioning power, personalities
are coordinated. The three aspects of man are being blended; another
formation or precipitation from the Hierarchy of adepts has become
possible. On the physical plane, without any exoteric organization,
ceremonials, or outer form, there is integrating - silently, steadily
and powerfully - a group of men and women who will supersede eventually
the previous hierarchical effort. They will supersede all churches, all
groups, and all organizations and will [400] eventually constitute that
oligarchy of elect souls who will govern and guide the world.
They are being gathered out of every nation, but are gathered and
chosen, not by the watching Hierarchy or by any Master, but by the
power of their response to the spiritual opportunity, tide and note.
They are emerging out of every group and church and party, and will
therefore be truly representative. This they do, not from the pull of
their own ambition and prideful schemes, but through the very
selflessness of their service. They are finding their way to the top in
every department of human knowledge, not because of the clamour they
make about their own ideas, discoveries and theories, but because they
are so inclusive in their outlook and so wide in their interpretation
of truth that they see the hand of God in all happenings, His imprint
upon all forms and His note sounding forth through every channel of
communication between the subjective reality and the objective outer
form. They are of all races; they speak all languages; they embrace all
religions, all sciences and all philosophies. Their characteristics are
synthesis, inclusiveness, intellectuality and fine mental development.
They own to no creed, save the creed of Brotherhood, based on the one
Life. They recognize no authority, save that of their own souls, and no
Master save the group they seek to serve, and humanity whom they deeply
love. They have no barriers set up around themselves, but are governed
by a wide tolerance, and a sane mentality and sense of proportion. They
look with open eyes upon the world of men and recognize those whom they
can lift and to whom they can stand as the Great Ones stand, - lifting,
teaching and helping. They recognize their peers and equals, and know
each other when they meet and stand shoulder to shoulder with their
fellow workers in the work of salvaging humanity. It does not matter if
their terminologies differ, their interpretations of symbols [401] and
scriptures vary, or their words are few or many. They see their group
members in all fields - political, scientific, religious, and economic
- and give to them the sign of recognition and the hand of a brother.
They recognize likewise Those who have passed ahead of them upon the
ladder of evolution and hail Them Teacher, and seek to learn from Them
that which They are so eager to impart.

This group has a specific mission, and some of the facts about it might
be stated as follows:
It is first of all an attempt at an externalization of the Hierarchy
upon the physical plane, or a small working replica of this essentially
subjective body. Its members are all in physical bodies but must work
entirely subjectively, thus utilizing the inner sensitive apparatus and
the intuition. It is to be composed of men and women of all nations and
ages, but each one must be spiritually oriented, all must be conscious
servers, all must be mentally polarized and alert, and all must be
inclusive.
[...]
The two most modern groups are the psychologists [412] who work under
the Delphic injunction "Man, know thyself", and the financiers who are
the custodians of the means whereby man can live upon the physical
plane. These two groups necessarily, and in spite of apparent
divergences and differences are more synthetic in their foundational
aspects, than any of the others. One group concerns itself with
mankind, with the varying types of humanity, the mechanism employed,
and man's urges, characteristics, and with the purpose - apparent or
hidden - of his being. The other group controls and orders the means
whereby he exists, controlling all that can be converted into energy,
and constituting a dictatorship over all modes of intercourse, commerce
and exchange. They control the multiplicity of form-objects which
modern man regards as essential to his mode of life. Money, as I have
before said, is only crystallized energy or vitality, - what the
oriental student calls pranic energy. It is a concretization of etheric
force. It is therefore vital energy externalized, and this form of
energy is under the direction of the financial group.
[...]
One of the essential conditions imposed upon the personnel of the group
is that they must be willing to work without recognition, on the
subjective levels. They must work behind the scenes as do the Great
Ones. Its [414] members therefore must be free from all taint of
ambition, and from all pride of race and of accomplishment. They must
be also sensitively aware of their fellowmen and of their thoughts and
conditioning environment.
It is a group that has no exoteric organization of any kind, no
headquarters, no publicity, no group name. It is a band of obedient
workers and servers of the WORD - obedient to their own souls and to
group need. All true servers everywhere therefore belong to this group,
whether their line of service is cultural, political, scientific,
religious, philosophical, psychological or financial. They constitute
part of the inner group of workers for humanity, and of the world
mystics, whether they know it or not.
[...]
It is a group therefore without a terminology or Bible of any kind; it
has no creed nor any dogmatic formulations of truth. The motivating
impulse of each and all is love of God as it works out in love for
one's fellow man. They know the true meaning of brotherhood, without
distinction of race. Their lives are lives of willing service, rendered
with utter selflessness and without any reservations.
The personnel of the group is known only to the Elder Brothers of
the race, and no register of names is kept, and there are only three
main requirements:
- A certain amount of at-one-ment between the soul and its
mechanism is essential, and that inner triplicity, [415] usually
dormant in the majority, of soul-mind-brain must be in alignment and
active.
- The brain has to be telepathically sensitive in two directions
and at will. It must be aware of the world of souls and also of the
world of men.
- There must also exist a capacity for abstract or synthetic
thought. This will enable a man to leap over racial and religious
barriers. When this is present also there is an assured belief in the
continuity of life and its correlation to the life after death.
... The group that is now in process of formation is composed of those
who are aware of the fact of the soul, and have established a soul
intercourse that is real and lasting; they look upon the mind, emotions
and body nature as simply an equipment whereby human contacts can be
established, and their work, as they see it, is to be carried forward
through the medium of this equipment, acting under the direction of the
soul....
[...]
Let me be somewhat explicit.
In every European country, in the United States of America, and in
parts of Asia and South Africa are to be found certain disciples,
usually unrecognized by the world at large, who are thinking truth. Let
me call your attention to that phrase. The most important workers in
this new group and those who are closest to the Great Ones are those
whose daily thought life is oriented by the new ideal. That this
thought life of theirs may work out in definite exoteric activities may
be true, but they are first of all and always those who live in and
work from the "high and secret place". Their influence is wielded
silently and quietly and they lay no emphasis upon their personalities,
upon their own views and ideas, [417] or upon their methods of carrying
forward the work. ...
One by one, here and there they are being gathered out and are
gathering to them those who are free from the limitations of past
political, religious and cultural theories. They, the members of the
one group, are organizing these forward looking souls into groups which
are destined to bring in the new era of peace and of good will. ...
The members of this group of new age workers will, however, possess
certain general characteristics. They will impose no enforced dogmas of
any kind, and will lay no emphasis upon any doctrine or authorities.
They are not interested in having any personal authority, nor do they
rest back upon traditional authority, whether religious, scientific,
cultural or any other form of imposed truth. Modes of approach to
reality will be recognized and each will be free to choose his own. No
discipline will be imposed by these workers upon those who seek to
cooperate with them. The ideas of any one person or leader as to how
the units in his particular sphere of activity should live and work,
should meditate and eat, will be regarded as of no special value. The
members of this new group work esoterically with souls, and deal not
with the details of the personality lives of the aspirants they seek to
inspire.
This is a basic rule and will serve to eliminate many worthy
aspirants from this group of world servers now in process of forming.
The tendency to impose one's own point of view indicates a lack of
understanding and it will rule many out.
[...]
Two rules of life activity must be taught the young aspirant:
He must be taught to focus oil constructive activity and to refrain
from pulling down the old order of living. He must be set to building
for the future, and to thinking along the new lines. He must be warned
not to waste time in attacking that which is undesirable, but must
[421] instead bend all his energies to creating the new temple of the
Lord through which the glory may be manifested. In this way public
attention will gradually be focused upon the new and beautiful, and the
old established creations will fall into decay for lack of attention
and so disappear.
... Decide once and for all whether you prefer to work in the old
exoteric ambitious manner, building and vitalizing an organization, and
so producing all the mechanism which goes with such a method of work.
Remember that such groups are still greatly needed and are useful. It
is not yet the new age and the little ones must not be left exposed to
the new forces, nor turned out bereft of the nursery to which they
naturally belong.
Should the new mode of work appeal to you, see to it that the
personality is subordinated, that the life of meditation is kept
paramount in importance, that sensitivity to the subjective realm is
cultivated, and any necessary outer activities are handled from within
outwards. Avoid a purely mystical introspection or its opposite
extreme, an over-emphasized organizing spirit, remembering that a life
of truly occult meditation must inevitably produce outer happenings,
but that these objective results are produced by an inner growth and
not by an outer activity. ...
... the manifestation of a true understanding, the bringing about of
at-one-ment with the soul, the recognition of those who belong to the
group of world Saviors - this is the immediate work to be done and this
must engross your attention.
[...]
You ask me: What keeps a man from becoming a member of such a group?
I tell you with emphasis that four things only keep a man from
affiliation.
- First: an uncoordinated personality. This involves necessarily an
untrained mind and a feeble intellect.
- Second: a sense of separateness, of distinction, and of being set
apart or different from one's fellow men.
- Third: the possession of a creed. No matter how good a formula of
beliefs it may be, it inevitably produces exclusiveness. It bars some
out.
- Fourth: pride and ambition.
You ask again: How shall one qualify? The rules are simple, and are
three in number. First, learn to practice harmlessness; then desire
nothing for the separated self, and thirdly, look for the sign of
divinity in all. Three simple rules, but very hard to accomplish.
Behind this group of mystics, which includes thinkers in every
department of human thought (let me reiterate the word thinkers) and of
human knowledge stands the Hierarchy of Masters and in between these
two groups stand also a band of teachers,...
[...]
The group is and will be kept entirely subjective. Its members are
linked telepathically, or they recognize each other through the quality
of the work they are doing in the outer world and the inclusiveness of
the note they sound. It is inspired from above by the souls of its
members and the Great Ones, and is energized into activity by the need
of humanity itself. It is composed of living conscious souls, working
through coordinated personalities. Its symbol is a golden triangle
enclosing an even-armed cross with one diamond at the apex of the
triangle. This symbol is never reproduced in form at all. It shines
above the heads of all who are in the group and cannot be seen by
anyone (not even a clairvoyant) except a group member, and then only if
- for purposes of work - his recognition needs stimulation. The motto
of the group is The Glory Of The One. -
