The New Group of World
Servers
Djwhal Khul
They are being gathered out of every nation, but are
gathered and chosen, not by the watching Hierarchy or by any Master, but by the power of
their response to spiritual opportunity, tide and note. They are emerging out of
every group and church and party, and will therefore be truly representative. This they
do, not from the pull of their own ambition and prideful schemes, but through the very
selflessness of their service.
They are finding their way to the top in every
department of human knowledge, not because of the clamor they make about their own ideas,
discoveries and theories, but because they are so inclusive in their outlook, and so wide
in their interpretation of the truth that they see the hand of God in all happenings, His
imprint upon all forms, and His note sounding forth through every channel of communication
between the subjective reality and the objective outer form.
They are of all races; they speak all languages;
they embrace all religions, all sciences and philosophies. Their characteristics are
synthesis, inclusiveness, intellectuality and fine mental development. They own no creed,
save the creed of Brotherhood, based on the one Life. They recognize no authority, save
that of their own souls, and no Master save the group they seek to serve, and humanity
whom they deeply love.
They have no barriers around themselves, but are
governed by a wide tolerance, and a sane mentality and sense of proportion. They look with
open eyes upon the world of men and recognize those whom they can lift and to whom they
can stand as the Great Ones stand, -- lifting, teaching and helping. They recognize their
peers and equals, and know each other when they meet, and stand shoulder to shoulder with
their fellow workers in the work of salvaging humanity.
It does not matter if their terminologies differ,
their interpretations of symbols and scriptures vary, or their words are few or many. They
see their group members in all fields -- political, scientific, religious, and economic -
and give to them the sign of recognition and the hand of a brother. They recognize
likewise Those who have passed ahead of them upon the ladder of evolution, and hail Them
Teacher, and seek to learn from Them that which They are so eager to impart. (Treatise on
White Magic, p.398-401)
This group has a specific mission, and some of the
facts about it might be stated as follows:
It is first of all an attempt at an externalization
of the Hierarchy upon the physical plane, or a small working replica of this essentially
subjective body. Its members are all in physical bodies but must work entirely
subjectively, thus utilizing the inner sensitive apparatus and intuition...composed of men
and women of all nations and ages, but each must be spiritually oriented, all must be
conscious servers, all must be mentally polarized and alert, and all must be inclusive.
One of the essential conditions...is that they must
be willing to work without recognition, on the subjective levels. They must work behind
the scenes as do the Great Ones. Its members must therefore be free from all taint of
ambition, and of all pride of race and of accomplishment. They must be also sensitively
aware of their fellow men and of their thoughts and conditioning environment.
It is a group that has no exoteric organization of
any kind, no headquarters, no publicity, no group name. It is a band of obedient workers
and servers...--obedient to their own souls and to group need. All true servers everywhere
therefore belong to this group, whether their line of service is cultural, political,
scientific, religious, philosophical, psychological, or financial. They constitute part of
the inner group of workers for humanity, and of the world mystics, whether they know it or
not. They will thus be recognized by their fellow group members when contacted in the
casual ways of world intercourse.
This group gives the word "spiritual" a
wide significance; they believe to mean an inclusive endeavor towards human betterment,
uplift and understanding; they give it the connotation of tolerance, international
synthetic communion, religious inclusiveness, and all trends of thought which concern the
esoteric development of the human being.
It is a group, therefore, without a terminology or
Bible of any kind; it has no creed nor any dogmatic formulations of truth. The motivating
impulse of each and all is love of God as it wo5rks out in love for one's fellow man. They
know the true meaning of brotherhood, without distinction of race. Their lives are lives
of willing service, rendered with utter selflessness and without any reservations.
The personnel of this group is known only to the
Elder Brothers of the race, and no register of names is kept, and there are three main
requirements:
1. A
certain at-one-ment between the soul and its mechanism is essential, and that inner
triplicity, usually dormant in the majority, of soul - mind - brain, must be in alignment
and active.
2. The brain has to be telepathically
sensitive in two directions and at will. It must be aware of the world of souls and also
of the world of men.
3. There must also exist a capacity for
abstract or synthetic thought. This will enable a man to leap over racial and religious
barriers. When this is present also, there is an assured belief in the continuity of life
and its correlation to the life after death. (A Treatise on White Magic, p.
413/5)
They are not interested in dogmas or doctrines, and
have no shibboleths. Their outstanding characteristic will be an individual and group
freedom from a critical spirit. This non-criticism will not grow out of an inability to
see error, or failure to measure up to an ideal; falsity, impurity and weakness will be
recognized for what they are, but when noted will only serve to evoke a loving
helpfulness. (A Treatise on White Magic, p. 426)
You ask me: What keeps a man from becoming a member
of such a group? I tell you with emphasis that four things only keep a man from
affiliation.
First:
An uncoordinated personality. This involves necessarily an untrained mind and a feeble
intellect.
Second:
A sense of separateness, of distinction, and of being set apart or different from one's
fellow men.
Third:
The possession of a creed. No matter how good a formula of beliefs it may be, it
inevitably produces exclusiveness. It bars some out.
Fourth:
Pride & ambition.
You ask again: How shall one qualify? The rules are
simple, and are three in number. First learn to practice harmlessness; then desire nothing
for the separated self, and thirdly, look for the sign of divinity in all. Three simple
rules but very hard to accomplish.
Behind this group...which includes thinkers in every
department of human thought...and of human knowledge, stands the Hierarchy of Masters, and
in between these two groups stand also a band of teachers, of whom I am one. These act as
intermediaries and as transmitters of the energy. May I repeat, and beg you to attend,
that this group which is slowly forming is gathered out of every imaginable group of
thinking and intelligent men. As yet, and this may surprise a f3ew, there are not very
many occultists (so-called) among them. This is due to the fact that the occultists are
numerically few in relation to the masses of humanity, and also to their tendency to be
sectarian, exclusive and self righteous. Selfless humanitarian workers are there;
political leaders and economists and scientific workers in the world's laboratories are
also there; churchmen and religious adherents from all of the world religions are there,
and the practical mystics and a few occultists. The true occultist is rare.
The group is and will be kept entirely subjective.
Its members are linked telepathically, or they recognize each other through the quality of
the work they are doing in the outer world and the inclusiveness of the note they sound.
It is inspired from above by the souls of its members and the Great Ones and is energized
into activity by the need of humanity itself. It is composed of living conscious souls,
working through coordinated personalities. Its symbol is a golden triangle, enclosing an
even -armed cross with one diamond at the apex of the triangle. This symbol is never
reproduced in form at all. It shines above the heads of all who are in the group, and
cannot be seen by anyone (not even a clairvoyant) except a group member, and then only if
-- for purposes of the work -- his recognition needs stimulation. The motto of the group
is ' The Glory of the One. ( A Treatise on White Magic, p.430/1)
Now [an]...attempt is being made to free the
"prisoners of the planet". The Hierarchy, through the Group of World Servers
now... is seeking to externalize itself, and to restore the mysteries to humanity to whom
they truly belong...it is basically necessary that all of you who have sensed the vision,
or seen a part of the intended plan, should re-dedicate yourselves to the service of
humanity, should pledge yourselves to the work of aiding to the utmost of your ability
(ponder on these words and search out their significance) all world servers, and should
sacrifice your time, and give of your money, to further the endeavor of the Great Ones.
Rest not, above all from your meditation work; keep the inner link; think truth at all
times. The need and the opportunity are great and all possible helpers are being called to
the forefront of the battle. All can be used in some way, if the true nature of sacrifice
is grasped, if skill in action is developed, and if work without attachment is the effort
of each and all of you. (A Treatise on White Magic, p.521)

Call
Into the New World my first message.
You who gave the Ashram,
And you who gave two lives,
Proclaim.
Builders and warriors, strengthen the steps.
Reader, if you have not grasped — read again,
after a while.
The predestined is not accidental,
The leaves fall in their time.
And winter is but the harbinger of spring.
All is revealed; all is attainable.
I will cover you with My shield,
if you but tend to your labors.
I have spoken.

There is no salvation
surer than that through devotion. One can
forgive much where there is unswerving devotion.
The man who is devoted in heart can be relied
upon. It is cause for rejoicing when Hierarchy
is upheld by devotion. At present it is
especially needed. If yesterday's confusion
seemed enormous, what can one say of tomorrow's?
I have already prepared you for the growth of Armageddon,
and you know that the black wings of darkness
will not withstand the Fiery Sword. Be not
astonished, the Battle increases!
