The Externalization of the Hierarchy - Section III - Forces behind the
Evolutionary Process





The Cycle of ConferencesMarch 1945
The three months of March, April and May in this year mark a moment in time of major
significance in our planetary history. I refer to the Easter Full Moon, celebrated on
March 28th, the Wesak Full Moon, which falls this year on April 27th, and the Full Moon of
June - Christ's "Unique Occasion" as it has been called - which falls on May
26th. From the standpoint of both the Hierarchy and Humanity, the events during these few
weeks of spiritual and mundane import (focused through these three Festival Moons of Aries,
Taurus and Gemini) will be of stupendous effect. What is done during this time
by the Members of the spiritual Hierarchy of our planet (Who face a major test of Their
hierarchical power, not a test of Their love), what is accomplished by the
disciples working in the world at this time, and also by the new group of world servers,
can and will determine the destiny of man for centuries to come. Even those who have no
knowledge of occult matters or of human fate or of the effective enterprise of human free
will [446] (esoterically understood) stand today with bated breath, waiting to see what
will happen and towards which goal or goals human thinking and planning will be directed.
The masses
of mankind everywhere have only one desire - tranquility. I use not the word
"peace," because it has such a misleading connotation. Thinking men and women in
every country stand with massed intent, determined, if possible, to take those steps which
will ensure peace on Earth, through the expression of goodwill. Note that phrasing. The
working disciples throughout the world are struggling with every means at their disposal
to spread the gospel of sacrifice, because only upon sacrifice can world stability be
safely founded - the sacrifice of selfishness. In those words is summed up the demand
being made on those whose responsibility it is to determine policies (national and
international) and to take those steps which will establish right human relations. The
Hierarchy stands - no longer watching and waiting, but acting today with impelling wisdom
and fixed decision in order to strengthen the hands of Their workers in every field of
human activity (political, educational and religious) so that they may take right action
and correctly influence human thinking.
A powerful first ray activity - the activity of will or purpose - is swinging into
action. The Christ, as the Leader of the Forces of Light, has empowered the Ashrams of the
Masters upon this first Ray of Power to strengthen the hands of all disciples in the field
of government and of political arrangement in every nation; to enlighten, if possible, the
various national legislatures by whatever means may be needed, so that the potency of
their words, the wisdom of their planning, and the breadth of their thinking may prove so
effective that the "Cycle of Conferences and of Councils," now being initiated
by the statesmen of the world, may be under the direct guidance (again if possible) of
Those in the Council Chamber at Shamballa Who know what is the Will of God. The
selfishness of the little minds in the various legislatures of the world must in some way
be offset. That is the problem. I wonder if you can grasp the [447] significance of this
happening? Down the ages, individual statesmen and rulers have from time to time been
responsive to the influence of that spiritually supreme Council; but it has been the
responsiveness of the individual disciple who has worked alone and unaided and who
has faced, (or experienced) defeat as often, if not oftener, than he has experienced
victory. Today, in the planning now going forward in connection with the various
international conferences and councils of which you all know, the spiritual effort (for
the first time in human history) is to bring all of them, as functioning groups, under
the direct impact of the energy which motivates and actuates that place where the Will of
God is known and the purposes of divinity are defined and projected. This means that each
of the coming world conferences (and there will necessarily be many) will have a greater
and far more extensive effect than would otherwise be the case; it means, however, that
the risks involved and the clash of minds will also be far greater. This is a point which
you should bear in mind as you study and read reports of these various conferences.
Forget not
that divine energy must make its impact upon human minds; these minds are the only
available instrument - in their aggregated effect - through which the Will of God can
express itself; they are necessarily responsive to the stimulating and energizing results
of that impact, and this will evoke results suited to the type of mind affected. Response
will be compatible with the quality and the intention of those minds. Where goodwill is
present, and where there is unselfish intention and a broad point of view, those qualities
will be strengthened and endowed with potency; where selfishness rules, where isolationism
and separativeness are present, and where there is the intention to gain individual and
national ends instead of those international purposes which will profit all humanity,
those qualities will equally gain in strength.
