Keynotes
Those of you who are seeking to serve humanity and to join in the Hierarchical effort to bring healing to a world in pain, must learn to penetrate behind appearances, behind the methods and schemes, the results and effects on the physical plane, and endeavor to contact the forces of Shamballa or of the Hierarchy, plus the human need which has produced these modes of expression and thus see them for what they are – not worn out systems and childish efforts at improvement but embryonic plans whereby, eventually, may come release and the culture and civilization of the New Age.
The future world order will be the effective expression of a fusion of the inner spiritual way of life and the outer civilized and cultural way of acting.
The man of culture relates the world of meaning to the world of appearances and regards them in his mind ... as constituting one world with two aspects.
Our modern civilization has received a death blow from which it will never recover, but which will be recognized someday as the “blow of release”.... All this ... had to take place before there could come the emergence of the Hierarchy into public consciousness; all this had to do its work upon the souls of men before the New Age could come in, bringing with it the Restoration of the Mysteries and the rehabilitation of the peoples of the Earth.
Members of the Hierarchy ... will work as members of the human family and not as proclaimed members of the kingdom of God or of souls, known to us as the Hierarchy; they will appear in office of some kind or another; they will be the current politicians, businessmen, financiers, religious teachers or churchmen; they will be scientists and philosophers, college professors and educators; they will be the mayors of cities and the custodians of all public ethical movements. The spiritual forcefulness of their lives, their clear, pure wisdom, the sanity and the modern acceptableness of their proposed measures in any department in which they choose to function, will be so convincing that little impediment will be set in the way of their undertakings.
We are now one people. The heritage of any race lies open to another; the best thought of the centuries is available for all; and ancient techniques and modern methods must meet and interchange. Each will have to modify its mode of presentation and ... make an effort to understand the underlying spirit which has produced a peculiar phraseology and imagery, but when these concessions are made, a structure of truth will be found to emerge which will embody the spirit of the New Age.
No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem. Booker T. Washington, Up From Slavery
Culture is esoterically related to those within any area of civilization who specifically, precisely and in full waking consciousness, through self-initiated effort, penetrate into those inner realms of thought activity which we call the creative world. These are the realms which are responsible for the outer civilization.
Work To Be Done
It may be helpful for the student to organize his or her thoughts around certain key questions.
1. How does a civilization produce a “culture”? What are the essential ingredients of a "cultured way of life"?
2. What should emerge from the dying civilization of the Piscean age?
3. What appear to be the cultural essentials of the incoming Aquarian age; how can they be incorporated by esoteric servers into human life as a basis for the civilization of Aquarius?
4. What constitutes “creative activity” and how can it be most usefully developed?
