1. "The tests for The 1st Initiation, as far as Humanity is concerned, are well-nigh over, and the hour of The Birth of The Christ as an expression of The 4th Kingdom in Nature (Humanity) and the consummation of the work of The 4th Creative Hierarchy is at hand. This there is no gainsaying. The birth hour may be long, and the form may be in labor for much time, but The Christ will be born, and the nature of The Christ and His Consciousness will permeate and color all human affairs. It is this condition, so imminent and so desirable and long foretold and anticipated, which will make possible the return of The Hierarchy and the restoration of The Mysteries (of Initiation)."
"These occurrences are not only dependent upon the fitness of Humanity to provide the right setting and upon the inevitability of evolutionary developement itself, but The Reappearance of The Hierarchy and that which its Members will accomplish is related also and primarily to the interior life and the spiritual impulses within The Hierarchy Itself and unrelated to Mankind altogether. The Hierarchy pursues its own line of spiritual unfoldment as a paralleling activity to its services on Earth in connection with planetary evolution."
"The Hierarchy is Itself also at a point of spiritual crisis. Its Initiates stand before The Door which leads to The Way of The Higher Evolution, and the entire Personnel of The Hierarchy waits to make a united move forward, paralleling on its own Level the move forward which Humanity is also destined to make. But, my brothers, here is the point of interest. Under The Great Law of Synthetic Expression (called by Us The Law of Synthesis, The Law governing The First Divine Aspect), The Hierarchy must move forward in such a manner that the effort must encompass The Physical Plane as well as The Higher Planes."
"Speaking symbolically, this Externalization is for The Members of The Hierarchy an act of sacrificial service, but it is also a symbolic gesture. The Hierarchy incarnates on Earth again and for the first time since its last incarnation in Atlantean Days. It is, however, a group incarnation and not the incarnation of individual Members."
2. "We are working and living in the initial stages of the period wherein preparation is being made for The Emergence of The Hierarchy into the world of men. The Emergence is at present purely onto The Mental Levels, but when the thought-form of exoteric existence is created by Humanity Itself and the evocative cry is intense enough, then The Great Ashram will slowly make its Appearance upon The Physical Plane."
"In the meantime, The Hierarchy is orienting Itself to a much closer rapport with Humanity and to an interior reorganization which will make it possible to admit disciples in large numbers into The Great Ashram."
3. "The Members of The Hierarchy are already, one by one, entering into outer activity upon The Physical Plane. They are not recognized for what They are, but They go about the Father's business, demonstrating goodwill, seeking to enlarge the horizon of Humanity and thus prepare the way for The One Whom They serve, The Christ, The Master of all The Masters and The Teacher alike of Angels and of men."
4. "The Senior Members of The Hierarchy will not at first be The Ones Who will make the needed approach. Under their direction and their close supervision, this approach will be made in the early stages by Initiates of and under the degree of The 3rd Initiation (The Transfiguration) and also by those disciples who will be chosen and designated to implement their efforts and so will work under their direction. It is only in the later stages and when the time has come for The Return into recognized physical expression of The Christ, leading to the definite restoration of The Mysteries (of Initiation), that certain of The Senior Members of The Hierarchy will appear and take outer and recognizable physical control of world affairs."
5. "Members of The Hierarchy, whether working in the early stages or later when the true Externalization takes place, will work as members of The Human Family and not as proclaimed Members of The Kingdom of God (The Spiritual Hierarchy) or of Souls known to us as The Hierarchy. They will appear in office of some kind or another. The spiritual forcefulness of their lives, their clear, pure wisdom, the sanity and the modern acceptableness of their proposed measures in any department in which they choose to function will be so convincing that little impediment will be set in the way of their undertaking."
6. "The externalized Ashrams (of The Hierarchy) will be active along 4 major lines:
a. Creating and vitalizing The New World Religion.
b. The gradual reorganizing of the social order, an order free from oppression, the persecution of minorities, materialism, and pride.
c. The public inauguration of The System of Initiation. This will involve the growth and comprehension of symbolism.
d. The exoteric training of disciples and of Humanity in this New Cycle."
