On the New Group of World Servers - Hellas

THE WORK OF THE HIERARCHY THROUGHOUT THE AGES

 1. The work of the Hierarchy, throughout the ages, has been fundamentally threefold in nature:

a. A constant effort to set up a closer and more understanding relation with Shamballa.

b. To unfold—within the periphery of the hierarchical centre—a life, a plan and a technique which will train all who find their way into an Ashram, which is in itself an aspect of the life of the Hierarchy.

c. To represent, finally, within the Hierarchy, the qualities of all the seven Rays, through the medium of the seven major Ashrams and their allied and subsidiary Ashrams.

2. Today, the relation of Shamballa to the Hierarchy is closer than at any previous time.

3. The recognition by a very much larger number of the general public of the fact of the Hierarchy; this has established a new type of relation between the Hierarchy and humanity.

4. The use by the Hierarchy of the destroyer aspect of divinity, the first Ray, in such a manner that it is in fact a creative factor and one which, in the last analysis, not only releases the life from its previous limitations, but also calls in—under the Law of Balance—the building activity of the second Ray.

5. The New Group of World Servers has been created as an intermediate body between the Hierarchy and the general public. This group is divided into two lesser groups:

a. Those disciples and workers who are already integrated into some one of the Ashrams.

b. Intelligent and humanitarian aspirants and workers in world affairs and in all departments.

These two groups unitedly form a transmitting agency through which the Hierarchy can reach the mass of men with the new concepts, the techniques of the new civilisation and the basic propositions under which humanity will move forward into greater light.

6. The recognition by humanity of its major problems, and the increasing ability of the general public to view these problems in terms of One Humanity, of the whole.

7. The new orientation of the human family within itself to the concept of the One Humanity and the intensely alert spiritual demand which is today distinctive of mankind everywhere.
