The Key To Neutrality And Dissolving The Matrix
The Tibetan Master Djwhal Kuhl wrote through his amanuensis, Alice A. Bailey The Externalization of the Hierarchy1 using mental telepathy. It applies today to the dire world situation.
He wrote that daily knowledge of world events streams through the media: television, radio, the internet, and the press. The power to consider, to choose, to think, and to discriminate is rapidly developing among all classes everywhere, as a result of the many cataclysmic happenings, the presentation of many changing circumstances, and the many points of view and theories of government, of religion and disastrous events. These grow out of the rapid presentation of events through the medium of the press, television, radio, and the internet. It is this that is of importance from the standpoint of evolution and the growth of the world consciousness. The physical plane happenings are incidental and of no permanent lasting power.
The physical plane events and precipitations are carried forward and made possible through focal points of energy who are the world dictators, the world statesmen, and the outstanding human beings in all and as well as by groups which are actively working in every country for their own selfish ends or...as is more often the case...under the influence of some group ideal or wisdom plus personal ambition, personal will-to-power, and personal aggrandizement. We call these people dictators, demagogues, inspired leaders, or just and wise men, according to our peculiar ideology, tradition, attitudes to our fellowmen, and our particular political, economic, and religious training.
But all these leaders are simply human beings and like other men... mistaken, idealistic, lovers of their country, egoists, impressionable, foolish, cunning, powerful, focused on some goal or ambition, with a clear vision and at the same time myopic reactions, cruel or wise as the case may be; but, in the last analysis, highly developed personalities. They are being USED to engineer great and needed changes and to alter the face of civilization. The wrong methods employed and the evil things done are the fault of humanity as a whole, and of the habits of thought which have made mankind selfish and cruel and cause this great and universal spirit of the will-to-change to manifest so powerfully and cruelly.
Blame not the personalities involved or the men who produce these events before which we stand today bewildered and appalled. They are the only product of the past and the victims of the present. At the same time, they are the agents of destiny, the creators of the new order, and the initiators of the new civilization; they are the destroyers of what must be destroyed before humanity can go forward along the Lighted Way.
They are the embodiment of the personality of humanity. Blame yourselves, therefore, for what is today transpiring and seek not to evade responsibility by placing it upon the shoulders of spectacular men or any statesmen, dictator, or upon any group. Look not to one person or to one group of persons and accuse them of causing the present world condition. Look not also to any one person or group to bring liberation or to find a solution to the world problem.
That is for humanity itself to do. Humanity must take action and will do so when the right time comes. To recognize joint responsibility, joint mistakes, ancient errors of judgment, wrong attitudes and habits of thought, worldwide selfish purpose and intent, a universal spirit of aggression which, down the ages, has influenced first one nation and then another, the tendency last century to crystallize and become static, the reactionary forces on every hand...these are universal qualities and no nation and no race is free of guilt or has entirely clean hands. Also, no one national group is purely wrong and evil or purely good and unselfish. There are mixed motives everywhere.
Nationalism, aggression, selfishness, and cruelty in all countries face a desire for world understanding, peaceful relations, and an unselfish and beneficent spirit also in all countries. The Forces of Light find their adherents and their workers in every country though some are subjected to greater handicaps in expression than others. So also do the Forces of Materialism. And in between these two great groups stand the masses--waiting for the emergence of fresh opportunity and new revelations.
It is the universality of these conditions and the clear-cut issues that have made this period one of planetary opportunity and planetary initiation. Initiation is essentially a moving out from under ancient controls into the control of more spiritual and increasingly higher values. Initiation is an expansion of consciousness which leads to a growing recognition of the inner realities. It is equally the recognition of a renewed sense of the need for change and the wise engineering of these needed changes so that real progress can be made; the consciousness is expanded and becomes more generously and divinely inclusive and there is a fresh and more potent control by the soul as it assumes increasingly the direction of the life of the individual, of a nation and of the world.
We are told that if today there are thousands who have taken the first major initiation, by 2025, there will be millions.
In the last analysis, and from the standpoint of the Hierarchy, the present conflict between the personality of humanity (expressing the material values as the dominating factor in life experience) and the soul of humanity (expressing the spiritual values as the dominating factor in human affairs) is identical with the conflict which takes place within a human being's consciousness when he has reached the stage of discipleship and is faced with the problem of the pairs of opposites. This conflict is expressed in many ways according to the point of view and the background of thought. It can be called the conflict between Christ and anti-Christ but not as those who usually employ those phrases understand them. No one nation is expressive of the spirit of anti-Christ, just as no one nation expresses the spirit of Christ. Christ and anti-Christ are the dualities of spirituality and materialism, both in the individual and in humanity as a whole. or you can speak of God and the Devil with the same basic implications. For what is man himself but an expression of divinity (God) in a material form (the Devil), and what is matter but the medium through which divinity must eventually manifest in all its glory? But when that takes place, the matter will no longer be a controlling factor but simply a medium of expression.
The issues at stake are clear to all right-thinking people. Intolerance and an intense national pride and self-satisfaction can blind men to the facts of the case today, but there are enough people thinking clearly to make the future of right decision more probable than at any previous time in the history of the race.
Through the media, the internet, television, radio, and world travel, humanity will responsibly make a choice for peace and world brotherhood based on justice, tolerance, religious freedom, universality, righteousness, and freedom.
