The New Group of World Servers
The New Group of World Servers can be described as a seed group within humanity of those who are able to bridge between the three ordinary worlds of human functioning and the higher realms of the soul, the intuition, and the spiritual will. This seed will eventually blossom into an Aquarian Age civilization characterized by goodwill, right relationship, and a diversity which knows itself at-one with the whole.
Essentially this group bridges between two major planetary centers: Hierarchy, the planetary heart center, and humanity, the planetary center of divine expression.
There has always been a tenuous link between Hierarchy and humanity, that has been sustained by the spiritual triumph of individuals throughout the ages. These individuals have one-by-one reached a level of enlightenment wherein they were able to bring divine revelation from the higher realm of intuitional truth into the realm of concrete human understanding.
Early in the 20th Century, the Hierarchy sought to inaugurate, within humanity, a group approach to divine revelation. Through a united evocative act of all the major Ashrams of the Hierarchy, the lights of those members of humanity who could thus respond were stimulated. Scattered throughout the world and often unknown to each other, these many points of light that did respond, became energetically unified. What unified them was the task, the calling to which they had responded which was the inauguration of a spiritual culture, or civilization, upon earth. In other words, the mediation of divine ideas into human understanding.
The work of this group occurs upon the mental plane. And thus, one of the foremost characteristics of this group is its ability to meditate creatively. This is not necessarily the type of occult or religious meditation that is normally though of as “formal” meditation or prayer—though in many ways the processes overlap. The creative meditation of the New Group of World Servers is the ability to think through into a higher state of consciousness than one is normally aware and to creatively bring down into human concrete thought the result of that higher contact. This group meditation is constant—meaning ceaseless—and is what sustains the activity of the group.
The Tibetan tells us that the group of world servers is composed of the following groups:
1. Initiates and disciples who are consciously a part of the Great White Lodge.
2. Aspirants and lesser disciples who are affiliated with the Hierarchy, but who do not usually possess that continuity of consciousness which will come later.
3. Those upon the Probationary Path who are not yet affiliated with the Hierarchy; they are, however, subject to hierarchical impression and are determined to serve their fellowmen.
4. An increasing number of people who respond to the idealism and the purpose of the New Group of World Servers and who will rapidly join the group.
Those who are totally engrossed in the affairs of the daily life and who have neither the time nor the interest to reflect upon the needs of humanity do not and cannot constitute part of this group.
What is interesting about this is that even those who simply respond to these ideas contribute to the group. To say someone responds to these ideas means, I believe, three things; it stimulates reflective thought, evokes the spirit of selflessness, and inspires a desire to serve humanity above oneself. Even at this very peripheral level (of merely responding to ideas) members are engaged in the reflective meditation which is the central purpose of the group. This reflective meditation involves the ability to creatively think in terms of the One Life and the one humanity which then necessarily leads to a compassionate recognition of human need. This creative meditation is the seed of the coming Aquarian Age civilization which is now in the birthing process.
It is becoming increasingly rare today to find those who are not at least beginning to respond to the real need that exists in the world for spiritual understanding—even if they identify it in purely material terms. All that is needed is the ability to think and live in terms of the One Life and the common good.
Central to the work of the New Group of World Servers is its ability to invoke energies from the higher realms of spiritual reality, in other words Hierarchy. Each member’s success in raising their own consciousness towards this greater center, aids in the invocative capacity of the new group. As the group rises to higher and higher levels of spiritual consciousness, there is a point that the ascent eventually becomes invocative, because it invokes a response from Hierarchy. This response produces a descent of the Hierarchical energy which meets and merges with the reflective thought of the group.
This invocative work requires the will and discipline to make the necessary ascent, but also the receptivity to receive and transmute the energies into human understanding. This receptivity requires selflessness, dispassion, discernment, and freedom from glamour and illusion. Without these, the inpouring energies are either unintentionally dispersed or mistranslated into wrong concrete thought.
The mode of working for the group at all stages is ceaseless creative meditation. The Tibetan tells us that the true motive of this meditation is selflessness, its keynote is creativity, and the meditation culminates in the demonstration of the perfected third aspect of divinity.
