THE DESTINY OF THE NATIONS

"The vision in men's minds today is that of the Aquarian Age, even if they recognise it not. The future will see right relationships, true communion, a sharing of all things (wine, the blood, the life and bread, economic satisfaction) and goodwill; we have also a picture of the future of humanity when all nations are united in complete understanding and the diversity of languages – symbolic of differing traditions, culture, civilisations and points of view – will provide no barrier to right human relations."

"Humanity has reached a point today where there is a most sensitive response to that which is higher and better."
|

"A symbol is an outer and visible sign of an inner and spiritual reality, carried out into expression upon the physical plane by the force of the inner embodied life."
|
|

"The consciousness of humanity has been definitely expanded and the whole world at this time is thinking. This is a totally new phenomenon and a fresh experience in the life of the human mind."
|
|

"Even force which is turned to destructive ends can and does finally work towards good, for the trend of the evolutionary force is unalterable, being based on the Will-to-good of Divinity Itself."
|
|

"It is essential that humanity relate its own mechanism to the greater mechanism (our entire planetary life) and view what is called 'one's own soul' as a part of the world soul."
|

"There is no power on Earth which can prevent the advance of man towards his destined goal and no combination of powers can hold him back."
|

"The will of God in world affairs is ever the will-to-good. Steadily – if you study human history intelligently – you will see that there has been a regular and rhythmic progression toward unity and synthesis in all departments of human affairs. This unity in multiplicity is the Eternal Plan – a unity in consciousness, a multiplicity in form."

"Beginning as ever with the study of the microcosm as the clue to the macrocosm, but seeking at the same time to envisage the macrocosm in order to understand the microcosm, man will some day establish an intelligent relation to the whole of which he is a part and with conscious cooperation. Thus the higher mind and the lower mind, the abstract and the concrete, the subjective and the objective will be brought into a functioning unity and man will be whole."

"The new age with its peculiar civilisation and culture will be brought into manifestation through the collaboration of the well-intentioned many, responsive increasingly to the good of the whole."

"The radiation from the [human] kingdom will some day be so potent and far-reaching that its effects will permeate down into the very depths of the created phenomenal world, even into the mineral kingdom. Then we shall see the results to which the great initiate, Paul, refers when he speaks of the whole creation waiting for the manifestation of the Sons of God. That manifestation is that of radiating glory and power and love."

"Love is a great unifier and interpreter."
|
|

"Advanced groups in every nation are beginning to respond to the Law of Understanding. This is a law which will eventually emphasize the eternal brotherhood of man and the identity of all souls with the Oversoul."
|
|
| 14 |
"It is as one great human family that we must emerge into the future. I would emphasize this thought: IT IS AS ONE HUMANITY, CHASTENED, DISCIPLINED BUT ILLUMINED AND FUSED, THAT WE MUST EMERGE INTO THE FUTURE."
|

"Behind the outer form is ever to be found the intangible, the real and the holy."
|
|

"The major impulse driving the Christ towards special work was the desire to establish right human relations; it is also the desire – realized or unrealised – of humanity, and we know that some day the Desire of all nations will come, that right human relations will be found everywhere and that goodwill will implement that fulfillment, leading to peace in all lands and among all peoples."
|

"In the Aquarian Age…humanity enters into an expansion of consciousness which will reveal to him group relations instead of his individual and self-centered personal relations."
|
|
| 18 |
"Be of good cheer, for there is no true defeat of the human spirit; there is no final extinction of the divine in man, for divinity ever rises triumphant from the darkest pit of hell."
|
|
| 19 |
"When the intent and purpose of the great Life is carried out and is in process of expression, a light will be revealed which has never yet been seen or known. There is a word in the Christian Scriptures which says 'In that light shall we see light;' this means that through the medium of the light of wisdom shed abroad in our hearts through the Ageless Wisdom, we shall eventually see the Light of Life itself."
