THE SOUL OF HUMANITY
1. The sense of responsibility is one of the first symptoms that indicates that the soul of the individual is awakening. The soul of humanity, at present, is also massively awakening and hence the following clues:
1. The rise of societies, organizations and large movements for the betterment of humanity.
2. The growing interest of the people in general welfare. Until today, only higher social spheres have been interested in it, either for selfish reasons of self-protection or innate paternalism. Intellectuals and professionals have studied and researched public welfare from the point of view of mental and scientific interest, based on general and material, and the lower middle class has found themselves, as is natural, wrapped in the same interests, but from the point in terms of financial and commercial gains. Currently this interest has descended into the depths of social order and all classes are found sharp-mind awake and alert for the general, national, racial or international well-being. This is very good and encouraging sign at the same time.
3. Humanitarian and philanthropic efforts are at their peak, on par with the cruelty, hatred and abnormalities, that separatism, overemphasized nationalist ideologies, aggression and ambition, have ingredged in the lives of all nations.
4. Education is fast becoming a massive effort, and children of all nations and walks of life are being equipped more intellectually than ever. This effort - tends, in the most part, to allow them to face material and national conditions, that are useful to the State and do not gravitate economically on it. The overall outcome is however in accordance with the divine plan and, without doubt, it's good.
5. The growing recognition by authorities that the man in the street is becoming an important factor in world affairs. The press and radio get to him, and today he has enough intelligence and interest to form his own opinion and draw his own conclusions. This is still in latent state, but the symptoms of the effort it makes jump into sight, so they are controlled the press and radio in one way or another, in all countries. (12-117/8)
2. Much or perhaps everything that happens in the world today, is caused by the stimulation of the soul, greatly increased, to which the entire human family reacts, even though individually they have not made contact with the soul. This increased stimulus is due to two things:
1. A vast majority, whose numbers are increasing rapidly, are making contact with their souls by intense aspiration and — in many cases — by true desperation.
2. The Hierarchy of Teachers is extremely active today, which is due
a. the demand of humanity that has been continuously coming to Them for the past decades, and is receiving an inevitable response;
b. the spur of the planetary hierarchy itself. It has led, many of those who belong to the ranks of the Hierarchy, to receive one of the higher initiations. As a result, he has come to be more powerful and his influence is more magnetic and radiant. (15-536)
3. In the numerous threads of light, woven by aspirants, disciples and initiates of the world, you can see how the group antakaran gradually appears, that bridge through which all humanity can be abstracted from matter and form. Construction of antakarana is the great and final service that all true aspirants can provide. (18-409)
4. The goal of normal evolution is to take humanity to the stage at which a direct line of contact is established between the personality and the spiritual Triad through the soul, or rather, the employment of the soul consciousness to achieve such perception, being consumed at the moment of third initiation. (18-409)
5. The race in its entirety — as well known — is now at the entrance of the discipleship trail. Direct your gaze towards the future, whether it's towards the vision of the soul, a better way of living, a drained economic situation or towards better interpersonal relationships. Unfortunately this view is often distorted, materially oriented or only partially perceived, but, in one way or another, the masses today have an appreciable understanding of the “new and desirable” - something so far unknown. In the past, the intellectuals or the elite had the privilege of having vision, but . today the human mass has it. Humanity is therefore prepared to carry out a general process of alignment, and that is the underlying spiritual reason behind World War. The "sharp scissors of pain must separate the real from the unreal; the whip of pain must awaken to the refined life, the sleeping soul; the suffering produced by the extirpation of the roots of life in the land of selfish desire, must be endured, and then man will be set free." This is how The Ancient Commentary prays in one of its most mystical verses. Thus is prophetically pointed out the end of the air race - not an end in the sense of culmination, but the completion of a cycle of mental refinement, preparatory for another in which the mind will be properly applied as an instrument of alignment and afterwards as a beacon of the soul and controller of personality.
In the slow process of evolution, the next step for the masses is to achieve the alignment of soul and form, to establish a fusion in consciousness, after a mental appreciation of the Christian principle and its deep expression in the life of the race. This is something you can clearly see coming up, if you have eyes to see. It is evidenced by the universal interest in goodwill, which occasionally leads to peace; this desire for peace can be based on individual or national selfishness, or on the true desire for a happier world, where man can lead a fuller spiritual life and base their efforts on more real values; furthermore it is noticeable in all the projects undertaken to achieve a new world order, based on human freedom and the belief in direct relations and human rights; it is also manifested in the work of the great humanist movements, in charities and in the broad evocation of the human mind, through the network of educational institutions around the world. The Christian spirit is expressively present and the failure to recognize this fact is largely due to the prevailing human effort to explain and interpret that sentence solely in terms of religion, with religious interpretation being one of the ways to understand Reality. There are others just as important. The great avenues of approaching Reality are spiritual in nature and interpret divine purpose, and though the Christian religion speaks of the kingdom of God, or the humanist emphasizes the brotherhood of man, or leaders who fight evil lead the battle for get the New World Order, the Four Freedoms or the Atlantic Charter, all express the emergence of God's love in the form of the Christian spirit.
Consequently, the human mass has reached a point where it emerges from darkness; it has evoked the reaction of the powers of evil, from there the attempt to halt the progress of the human spirit and the progressive march of what is good, true and beautiful. (18-410/1)
