Humanity
is preparing to take its next evolutionary step in
the expansion of consciousness. The New Group
of World Servers who today form an aspect of the
world antahkarana are as the yeast that can foment
and stimulate the process.
As an intermediary group, they act as a bridge
between the Spiritual Hierarchy, the fifth kingdom
of consciousness on our planet and humanity, the
fourth kingdom in consciousness. Composed of
those who have penetrated in consciousness upward to
such an extent and height that their ascension has
become invocative, they are producing a descent from
the Hierarchy which meets and merges with the
energies of the ascending group reflection.
This reciprocal flow of energy is complemented by
the Group’s ability to focus the consciousness in
such a manner that they become receptive to higher
spiritual energies and, as a result, with fixed
intention, they are bringing forth the needed new
ideas and world attitudes.
Through the concentrated effort of these new Groups
— who constitute subjectively One group, light and
inspiration and spiritual revelation are being
released in such a flood of power that definite
changes are occurring in human consciousness,
ameliorating conditions in this needy world.
Because humanity, the fourth kingdom in nature, is
intended to be the agent of the will to the three
subhuman kingdoms, it is essential that the spirit
of inclusiveness and the tendency to spiritual
identification should be developed in humanity as a
step preparatory in its development of response to
divine purpose.
It is therefore essential that the will-to-good be
unfolded by the disciples of the world so that
goodwill can be expressed by humanity at
large. Whereas this will-to-good is an aspect
of the First Ray of Will/Power, goodwill is an
attribute of the second Ray of Love/Wisdom.
Both are needed, if right human relations are to
prevail.
The esoteric wisdom indicates that it is the Will
aspect of Love which the Christ, no matter by what
name He is referred to in the world’s religious or
spiritual traditions, will of necessity
demonstrate this time when He once again openly
reappears and continues His work on our
planet. When He came 2,000 some years ago, He
employed the teaching aspect of the second ray and
not the Will aspect.
Affirming, "I am the light of the world," He gave a
vision of the next step for humanity, releasing upon
our Earth, the cosmic principle of love. As
yet, an esoteric truth little understood is that
Love is an aspect of the Will. That is, Love
is the will to draw into itself or the will to
attract into itself, and this Will, when exerted
toward that which is not material, we call Love.
What therefore must this will-to-good, today wielded
by the New Group of World Servers, accomplish in our
world?
The ancient and evil rhythms of the past must be
broken and a new and better one must be
established. Also, the united aspiration and
longing of the people everywhere must be fused and
blended so that the sound of humanity's demand may
be strong enough to invoke the needed new
realities. Both activities require sacrifice,
understanding and a deep love of our fellow human
beings. They also require intelligence and
wisdom and a practical grasp of world affairs.
The ideal of brotherhood is today a well-established
aspiration; it is an abstract ideal that is
adequately praised and even glorified; however, this
aspiration must now be brought from the abstract,
theoretical plane and materialized in our daily
lives. This is one of the primary functions of
the New Group of World Servers.
As a result, this Group will balance the forces
leading to disintegration and destruction by
embodying in themselves the forces of integration
and construction. Wielding the energy of the
will-to-good, they will swing our planet on to a
higher turn of the spiral, healing the breaches,
breaking down the barriers and ending the existing
cleavages.
Through their work, the energy of goodwill will be
increasingly evoked; the consciousness of humanity
will increasingly strive towards righteousness — a
righteousness, which will become so strong that, in
every country, acts of cruelty, of oppression, of
enforced obedience through torture and penalty,
through selfish aggrandizement at the expense of the
helpless, of personal ambition, and of war, will no
longer be tolerated.
Every person has a part to play. “Direct your
friends towards righteousness,” enjoins the Agni
Yoga Wisdom, for just “as the tree renews its
leaves, so shall humanity flourish on the path of
righteousness.”2.
