"When the sun progresses into the mansion of the serving man, the way of life takes the place of the way of work. Then the tree of life grows until its branches shelter all the sons of men. The building of the Temple and the carrying of the stones cease. The growing trees are seen; the buildings disappear. Let the sun pass into its appointed place, and in this day and generation attend ye to the roots of growth."
Little groups will spring up here and there whose members
respond to the new note and whose growth into the world group will be watched
over by one or more working disciples.
But these latter do not organise the groups; they grow as a man in this
place and another in that place awakens to the new vision or comes into
incarnation in order to take his place in the work and bring in the new
era. These groups will demonstrate no
sense of separateness; they will be unaware of personal or of group ambition;
they will recognise their unity with all that exists, and will stand before the
world as examples of pure living, constructive building, creative activity
subordinated to the general purpose, beauty and inclusiveness. Perhaps in the early stages of integration,
the words friendliness and cooperativeness best describe them. They are not interested in dogmas or
doctrines and have no shibboleths. Their
outstanding characteristic will lie in individual and group freedom from a
critical spirit. This non-criticism will
not grow out of an inability to see error, or failure to measure up to an
idea; falsity, impurity and weakness
will be recognised for what they are, but when noted will only serve to evoke a
loving helpfulness.
Little by little these groups will come to know each other
and to meet with one another at set times and places. They will come to these mutual conferences
with no desire to impress one another and with no thought of relative numerical
strength; they will demonstrate no ambition to increase their ranks. How should they when they know themselves all to be members of
the one world Group? They have no
teaching to give of a doctrinal nature and will not seek to demonstrate
learning. They will meet solely to
discuss modes of world helpfulness, the formation of a platform so universal
and composed of such basic truths that it can be presented under all the
varying methods and utilise the many terminologies. They will endeavour to employ each other's
terms, and to familiarise themselves with each other's approach to reality and
symbology.
