FOURTH RAY and THE pouring out of the Christ consciousness

A Summation and Forecast

Let me now summarise for you some of the points of importance in this instruction:

1.   The fourth Ray of Harmony through Conflict is a controlling factor in human affairs at all times, and peculiarly today.

2.   The Principle of Conflict is the agent of the Principle of Harmony and produces the strains and the stresses which will lead, finally, to liberation.

3.   The great initiation of the Renunciation, plus the many smaller renunciations, is the result of inner conflict and ever precedes liberation into harmony and peace.

4.   Conflict produces:  War-Renunciation-Liberation.

5.   Humanity is subjected to crises of discrimination, leading to right choice.  That is the problem confronting humanity today, leading to a crisis within the United Nations.

6. The Hierarchy is subjected to crises of decision, leading to perception of the Plan, participation in the Purpose, and the prevention of evil.

7.   The Principle of Conflict is today active in all nations, in all religions, in all organisations, leading to the emergence of the New Age.

8.   Conflict produces points of crisis, then a point of tension, and eventually a point of emergence.

9.   This Principle of Conflict is preparing the way for the return of the Christ, Who will inaugurate the new era of harmony.

10. Christ will come in three different ways:

a. Through the overshadowing, on the mental plane, of all disciples and aspirants.

b. Through the pouring out of love or of the Christ consciousness upon the masses on the emotional plane.

c. Through His recognised physical Presence upon Earth.

11.  Certain nations are today torn with conflict but are [Page 640] moving toward harmony.  Other nations are focal points of discord and thereby serve the Principle of Conflict.

12. The U.S.S.R., the U.S.A., and the U.K. constitute a governing triangle of energy which, when right relations have been established, can and will create and foster right human relations among men.

13. The Jewish race is a symbol of humanity in its mass sense; in the resolution of its conflict and in the taking of right action, a great step forward in human liberation will take place.

14. As the individual disciple learns to harmonise himself through conflict, he sets an example which is of definite aid to humanity as a whole.
