1. "Shamballa, where They (Sanat Kumara and His Pupils) dwell, exists in physical matter as do The Kumaras, but it is a matter of The Higher Aethers of The Physical Plane, and only when Man has developed aetheric vision will the mystery lying beyond The Himalayas be revealed."
2. "Though Shamballa is spoken of as existing in physical matter and as occupying a definite location in space, the physical matter referred to is aetheric, The Lord of The World and His Assistants of The Higher Degrees (of Initiation) occupying bodies formed of aetheric matter."
"It was decided about 17 million years ago (the coming of The Hierarchy and the founding of Shamballa being about 18 and a half million years ago) to have on the dense Physical Plane an Organization and a Headquarters for the mysteries (of Initiation) and to have a band of Adepts and Chohans Who would function in dense physical bodies and thus meet the need of the rapidly awakening Humanity."
3. "The first outpost of The Shamballa Fraternity was the original Temple of Ibez, and it was located in the center of South America, and one of its branches at a much later period was to be found in the ancient Maya Institutions. A second branch was later established in Asia, and of this branch The Himalayan and Southern Indian Adepts are The Representatives, though the work is materially changed."
"At a later date than the present, discoveries will be made, revealing the reality of the old form of hierarchical work. Ancient records and monuments will be revealed, some above ground and many in subterranean fastnesses. As the mysteries of Central Asia, in the land stretching from Chaldea and Babylon through Turkestan to Manchuria, including The Gobi Desert, are opened up, it is planned that much of the early history of The Ibezhan Workers (incarnate Adepts of The Spiritual Hierarchy) will be revealed."
4. "The most obvious and powerful Force in the world today is that of The 1st Ray of Will and Power. This is The Force which pours into the world from the major World Center, Shamballa. Little is known of Shamballa. Only twice before in the history of Mankind has this Shamballa Energy made its appearance and caused its presence to be felt through the tremendous changes which were brought about:
a. When the first great human crisis occurred at the time of the Individualization of Man in ancient Lemuria (Motherland of Mu).
b. At the time of the great struggle of Atlantean Days between The Lords of Light (White Brotherhood) and The Lords of Material Expression (Dark Brotherhood)."
"This little known Divine Energy (The 1st Ray) now streams out from The Holy Center (Shamballa). It is The Will of God to produce certain radical and momentous changes in the consciousness of The Race, which will completely alter man's attitude to life and his grasp of the spiritual, esoteric, and subjective essentials of living. It is this Force which will bring about (in conjunction with 2nd Ray Force) that tremendous crisis, The Initiation of The Race into The Mystery of the ages, into that which has been hid from the beginning."
5. "I would remind you that the use of 1st Ray Energy inevitably means destruction in the early stages but fusion and blending in the later and final results. The Lord of Shamballa (Sanat Kumara) in this time of urgency, from love of the life aspect and from understanding of The Plan as well as from love of Humanity, is sending forth this Dynamic Energy. It is form destroying and brings death to those material forms and organized bodies which hinder the free expression of The Life of God, for they negate the new culture and render inactive the seeds of the coming civilization (in The New Age)."
"The Energy of Shamballa is so new and so strange that it is hard for human beings to know It for what It is, the demonstration of The Will of God in new and potent livingness."
"The problem of The Hierarchy at this time is to produce a wise and adequate fusion of The Shamballa and Hierarchical Energies and thus temper destruction and bring to the fore the spirit of construction, setting in motion the building and rehabilitating forces of The 2nd Ray Energy (Love-Wisdom). The Shamballa Energy prepares the way for The Energy of The Hierarchy. Thus it has been from the beginning of time, but the cycles of The Hierarchy, though relatively frequent, have not coincided with those of Shamballa which are rare and infrequent."
"As time progresses, the impact of The Shamballa Force will be more frequent, because men will develope the power to stand and withstand It. Hitherto, It has been too dangerous an Energy to apply to Mankind, for the results have worked out destructively except in the first great Lemurian Crisis. It's work has, therefore, been confined almost entirely to The Hierarchy whose Members are equipped to handle It and to assimilate It correctly and also to use It for the benefit of Humanity."
"Now the experiment is being attempted of permitting Man to receive It and its impact, free from the mediation of The Hierarchy. It may prove a premature and abortive effort, but the issues are not yet determined, and The Lord of Shamballa with His Assistants and with the aid of the watching Members of The Hierarchy are not discouraged over the initial results. Humanity is responding unexpectedly well."
"There has been much success along this line, but the results do not appear with clarity to intelligent human beings, because they refuse to see anything except the destructive aspect and the disappearance of the forms (physical bodies) to which they have hitherto anchored their emotions, their desire, and their mental perceptions. They fail, as yet, to see the irrefutable evidence of constructive activity and of true, creative work. The temple of Humanity in The New Age is rising rapidly, but its outlines cannot be seen because men are occupied entirely with their individual or national selfish point of view and with their personal or national instincts or impulses."
6. "Humanity is the result of all sub-human forms of expression and experience and of the activity of Superhuman Beings. These Superhuman Beings are the product of past evolutionary systems and are, in Themselves, the sum total of The Great Divine Sacrifice (The Planetary Logos) as It focuses Itself in our planetary life. Having passed through all previous phases of existence and perfected the consciousness aspect in Themselves through human experiences, They have transcended all that Men can know and all states of consciousness with which He is or may be in the future familiar and are now expressing a phase of Divinity of which He can know naught. They LIVE. They are Energy Itself, and in Their Totality They form 'The Bright Center Lying Far Ahead' (Shamballa)."
