“WHAT then is the present situation in connection with the new group of world workers? Let us be somewhat explicit.

“In every European country, in the United States of America, and in parts of Asia and South Africa, are to be found certain workers, usually unrecognized by the world at large, who are thinking truth. Attention is called to that phrase. The most important workers in this new group are those who are closest to the Great Knowers are those whose daily thought life is oriented to the New Deal.

“That this thought life of theirs may work out in definite exoteric activities may be true, but they are first of all and always those who live in and work from the ‘high and secret place.’ Their influence is wielded silently and quietly and they lay no emphasis upon their personalities, upon their own views and ideas, or upon their methods of carrying forward the work.

“They possess a full realization of their own limitations, but are not handicapped thereby, but proceed to think through into objective manifestation that aspect of the vision which is their mission to vivify into form. They are necessarily cultured and widely read, for in these difficult transitional times, they have to cultivate a grasp of world conditions and possess a general idea of what is going on in the different countries.

“They possess in truth no nationality in the sense that they do not regard their country and their political affiliations as of paramount importance. They are equipped to organize, slowly and steadily, that public opinion which will eventually divorce man from religious sectarianism, national exclusiveness, and racial bias.

“One by one, here and there they are being gathered out and are gathering to them those who are free from the limitations of past political, religious and cultural theories. They, the members of the One Group, are organizing these forward looking souls into groups which are destined to bring in the New Era of peace and good will.
