“STRENGTHENING THE HANDS OF THE NEW GROUP OF WORLD SERVERS”
Meditation is the primary form of service for those following a spiritual path. It is a means of cooperation and alignment with hierarchical intent. The new moon period follows upon the cycle of outbreathing in the rhythmic cycles of the breath; it is a time of pause wherein together we can establish a soul-mind-brain alignment. During this period we work in thought to concretize the ideas and impressions received at the time of the full moon period and undertake the sometimes difficult process of translating them into practical plans that can be of service in the world. The effect of this meditative effort is to enhance the many ways in which the “power of the one Life” and the “love of the one soul” are working out through all true servers everywhere.

Sacrifice, Group Consciousness, and the Spiritual Will
New Moon in August
We are told that the Law of Sacrifice came into expression in the Piscean Age and is now therefore easily understood and comprehended by the Human mind. However, the relevance of this divine quality in the now dawning Aquarian Age should not be underestimated; it is of profound importance to the development of group consciousness and the quality of spiritual will.
These two qualities of the spiritual will and group consciousness are defining characteristics of aspiring and future servers. Disciples and the New Group of World Servers itself must ultimately develop and master both in the generations to come.
The presentation will examine the role that Sacrifice and the Spiritual Will play in the life of the individual as he moves from self-consciousness to group consciousness, in world affairs as humanity transitions from nationalism to globalism, and in the life of the NGWS as it learns to align with and therefore awaken the spiritual will.
- What is group consciousness? Is it a quality to be developed, a guiding ideal, or a spiritual fact of the soul on its own plane?
- Do you recognize the basic antagonisms which exist between the spiritual will, the group will, and the individual will? How do these play out in world affairs?
- What role can sacrifice, “the process of making whole,” play in the alignment of the individual, group, and spiritual will?
