The Externalization of the Hierarchy - Section IV - Stages in the
Externalization





It is interesting to note that when the Hierarchy seeks to
meet the need of the masses for better conditions, and to aid in the changing of
ecclesiastical and political abuses, men are apt then to withdraw their interest because
the task is hard, or to repudiate the statements anent that which is evil because (from
their point of view) it is not possible for the Hierarchy to find fault or take a stand
against wrong, just as many repudiated the fact that the Hierarchy took its stand, during
the war, upon the side of the Forces fighting for the freedom of humanity and refused in
any way to endorse those fighting on the side of darkness.The Hierarchy is a great
fighting body today, fighting for the souls of men, fighting all that blocks the expansion
of the human consciousness, fighting all that limits human freedom (I said not license)
and fighting to remove those factors and barriers which militate against the return of
[551] the Christ and the emergence of the Hierarchy as a fully functioning body on earth.
There is nothing weak, vacillating, sentimental or neutral in the attitude of the
Hierarchy; this must be grasped by humanity, and the strength and insight as well as the
love of the Hierarchy must be counted upon.
I have in
the above remarks enumerated for you certain of the objectives facing the Hierarchy at
this time and involving the personal attention of the Christ; they all have a potent and
beneficent effect upon humanity. Let me enumerate them in concise form, because it is
essential that there be clear perception of the emerging values on the part of workers of
all grades and kinds in the world, for otherwise perception is not possible. To each point
enumerated I will append in a few brief words the reason why it is regarded as important:
The
Reorganization of the World Religions.
Reasons
To make way
for the World Religion, universal religion.
To return
humanity to the simplicity which is in Christ.
To rid the
world of theology and ecclesiasticism.


The Gradual
Dissolution of Orthodox Judaism.
Reasons
Because of
its presentation of a wrathful Jehovah, caring only for his chosen people. This is a basic
evil. The Lord of the World, the God in whom we live and move and have our being, is
totally otherwise.
Because of
its separativeness.
Because it
is so ancient that its teachings are largely obsolete.
Because when
the Jews become spiritual they will greatly benefit mankind, for they are found in every
land.


Preparation
for a New Revelation.
Reasons
Because
where there is no vision the people perish. [552]
Because
human expectancy indicates its emerging presence.
Because the
new Invocation will inevitably bring it to us.


The Reaction
of the Hierarchy to Shamballa.
Reasons
Produces a
direct channel.
Conditions
the inflow of power energy.
Relates the
will-to-good to goodwill.
Creates new
constructive tensions and new ashrams.


A Closer
Relation of the Hierarchy to Humanity.
Reasons
Produces (in
the near future) the externalization of certain ashrams.
Leads to the
reappearance of the Hierarchy on earth.
Recognizes
that man's point of development warrants this.
Presents a
nearing opportunity for revelation.


An Effort to
avert War.
Reasons
Because the
next war would annihilate the greater part of the human race.
Because,
having a religious basis, the hate involved would be greater far than anything hitherto
known.
Because
Shamballa would be involved, and this has never been the case.



You can see
therefore how critical, spiritually, are these times, and how urgent is the task which
confronts the Hierarchy and its workers on earth. The war may be over in the physical
sense, but great issues are still involved and undetermined and can lead either to peace
or to a renewal of those conditions in which wars are generated and which, once generated,
cannot be avoided.
