The Present Work

Certain facts concerning these Matters, and Their work in the present and in the future, may be in place here. First, the work of training Their pupils and disciples to fit them to be of use in two great events, one the coming  of the World Teacher towards the middle or close of this present century, and the othert, the training of them to be of use in the founding of the new sixth sub-race and the reconstruction of the present world conditions. This being the fifth sub-race of the fifth root-race, the pressure of the work on the five rays of the mind which are controlled by the Mahachohan, is very great.

The Masters are carring an over heavy burden, and much of their work of teaching disciples has been delegated to initiaties and advanced disciples, and certain of the Masters on the first and second rays  have temporarily taken over pupils in the Machachohan's department. Secondly, the preparation of the world on a large scale for the coming of the World teacher, and the taking of the necessary steps before They Themselves come out among men,  as many of Them surely will towards the close of this century. A special group is forming amongst Them now Who are definitely preparing Themselves for this work, The Master M.,the master K.H. and the Master Jesus will be specially concerned with the movement towards the last quarter of this century. Other masters will participate also, but these three are the ones with Whose names and offices people should familiarise themselves, wherever possible.  

Two Masters, specially concerned with the seventh or ceremonial ray, Whose particualr work it is to supervise the development of certain activities within the next fifteen years, work  under the Master R. Very definitely may the assurance be given here, that prior to the coming of the Christ, adjustments will be made so that at the head of all great orginisations will be found either a Master, or an initiate who has taken the third initiation. At the head of certain of the great occult groups , of the Freemasons of the world, and of the various great divisions of the Church, and resident in many of the great nations will be found initiates or Masters.

This work of the Masters is proceeding now, and all Their efforts are being bent towards bringing it to a successful consummation. Everywhere They are gathering in those who in any way show a tendency to respond to high vibration, seeking to force their vibration and to fit them so that they may be of use at the time of the coming of the Christ. Great is the day of the opportunity, for when that time comes, through the stupendous strength of the vibration then brought to bear upon the sons of men, it will be possible for those who now do the necessary work to take a great step forward, and to pass through the portal of initiation.
