As we see much of the natural world becoming irrevocably lost, we are realising the exquisitely fine balance of everything
We may not always know how precious something is until it is lost β and perhaps how irresponsible we have been to lose it! Perhaps the maturity of our race could be measured in the degree to which we accept responsibility for what is being lost through the self-importance, and self-centredness that has so drastically disturbed the balance and abundance of the world we were given in which to grow into our divine nature, our true Self. We can begin to take responsibility for our future, for the care and nurture of all within our beautiful world.
The crises and chaos sweeping the planet and causing so much suffering are waking us from our long sleep of forgetfulness.
The problems we now confront are βsoul sizeβ, as the poet Christopher Fry reminded us, and canβt be solved by personalities, alone and in isolation. As we awaken to the underlying reality expressing through the natural order of the world, and emerge from our past blindness, we come en rapport with our true being within the finer dimensions of spirit and with Those Who have progressed ahead of us and cooperate with us in line with the will and purpose of the Lord of our World. The Tibetan Master explains:
The method of the [spiritual] Hierarchy is to work through individuals and through groups for the production of such a widespread spiritual recognition that men everywhere will accept as factual the inner government of the planet, and will work together for the founding of the Kingdom of God in objective manifestation on Earthβand not in some distant time and some vague heaven. This is no mystical or impossible dream, but is simply the recognition and the externalisation of that which has been for ever present, which definitely took objective form when Christ was with us two thousand years ago, and which will proceed to universal recognition when He is with us again in the immediate future.β Externalisation of the Hierarchy page 672
When our perspective expands out of the distortions of partiality we begin to become aware of the great synthesis of being
β¦it is realised that there is no identity apart from universality and no appreciation of the universal apart from the individual realisationβ The rays and the Initiations, page 106
Within the clear perspective of the greater whole we see that universal wholeness expressing through every part of the mighty diversity of its being. As the poet, William Blake, described:
βTo see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hourβ¦β
As humanity sees through this perspective, our world swings into a new dimension of livingness
What is being revealed at this moment is that capacity to identify, and consciously, within a state of being. And what that says in essence, and what that says in expression, is that we are conscious participants within it β within the emerging expression of Life in our time. Life needs its expressive agents all the way out into planetary expression, flowing outward through the many world groups.β The Journey Continues, page 21
…we can work together towards the new era with hope, confidence and potency when we are aligned with Those Who serve the purpose of the Lord of the world.
βThose who constitute the inner government of the worldβ¦ are working to facilitate the entry of [new] ideals and aims into the consciousness of the race. These new ideals and aims are characteristics of the New Age. This statement is of importance, because it indicates that the effort now on foot is in line with the evolutionary development going on upon our planet. It is therefore assured of ultimate success. The work that the New Group of World Servers is endeavouring to do is intended to hasten that process, and so avert a long period of distress and disorder. Whether this effort succeeds or not, the final aim is assured, but it can be hastened if men will only appreciate fairly the situation with which they are immediately faced and take the necessary steps to change the present condition.β Esoteric Psychology II, page 652
