3. The Cross of the Risen Christ.

More upon this subject I may not give to you, nor will it profit for me to enlarge upon the conditions which emerge in the consciousness of the initiate upon the Cardinal Cross. My words would be meaningless. Most of you are in the transition state wherein you are stabilising your individual will, and are attempting increasingly to express it in the will-to-good. I would have you deeply realise that if the will-to-peace is conditioning you, then you are still working on emotional levels and your work will then have to be with the first stanza of the Great Invocation and with its distribution to the masses. If it is the will-to-good which influences and directs you, then to the awakening of mass aspiration you must add the task of evoking the response to world need in the thinkers and aspirants through the medium of the second stanza, blending the two approaches in an effort to evoke—via the Hierarchy—the will-to-save of Shamballa.
