| The Externalization of the Hierarchy - Section IV - Stages in the Externalization |
| One more point I would like to discuss. Through the work of
this Master and His Ashram the "sealing of the door where evil dwells" will come
about, because it is essentially this group which (if I dare so express it) is coping
[667] with raw materialism and the false values which it engenders. The door has to be
sealed by a vast mass of coordinated human forces, and not by one or two enlightened men.
This fact must be grasped by you. The energy of love-wisdom, the energy of the second ray,
can and will bring in the Kingdom of God; the energy of the divine will can and will
galvanize with its dynamic potency the entire human family to the point where a group
transition will take place from the fourth into the fifth kingdom. It is nevertheless this
third ray energy, as wielded in the Ashram of this English Master, under the direction of
the Mahachohan, the Lord of Civilization, which will force a right attitude toward
materialism, which will bring about a balance between the material values and the
spiritual, and which will eventually thrust back into futility the Forces of Evil which
have for so long distracted the world of men. I am choosing my words with care. You will note, therefore, how the three divine aspects are united in one great movement to bring in the Kingdom of God, and that the first step towards this longed-for consummation is the appearance of the Masters upon the physical plane, and then, somewhat later, the reappearance of the Christ. We now come to a consideration of the vast Ashram controlled by the Master R. He is the Lord of Civilization and His is the task of bringing in the new civilization for which all men wait. It is a third ray Ashram, and therefore enfolds within its ring-pass-not all the Ashrams to be found upon the third Ray of Active Intelligence, upon the fifth Ray of Concrete Science and upon the seventh Ray of Ceremonial Order. All these Ashrams are working under the general direction of the Master R. He works primarily through the Masters of these three types of ray energy. He Himself at this time is occupied with seventh ray energy, which is the order-producing energy upon our planet. This is the Ray of Ceremonial Order, and through the activity of its energy, when correctly directed and used, a right rhythm is being imposed upon all aspects of human [668] living. An effort is being constantly made to arrest the ugly chaos of the present and to produce the ordered beauty of the future. The major weapon now being used by the combined Forces of Evil is chaos, disruption, lack of established security, and consequent fear. The potency of these evil forces is exceedingly great because they belong to no one group of people and to all the ideologies. The chaos produced by indifference, the chaos produced by uncertainty, the chaos produced by fear, by starvation, by insecurity, by watching others suffer innocently, and the chaos produced by the warring and conflicting ambitious elements in every nation (without exception) - these are the factors with which the Master R. is attempting to deal; the task is one of supreme difficulty. The entire rhythm of international thinking has to be altered, and that constitutes a slow and arduous task; the evil personalities which, in every country, are responsible for the chaos and uncertainty, have eventually to be replaced by those who can work in cooperation with the rhythm of the seventh ray, and thus produce ordered beauty. |
