The Inner Life

THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | DECEMBER 1934

Multitudes of Plateau men, in the flesh and out, stand ready to help. They possess the ideas and forms by which to save man’s present culture, and know how it can be sustained while growing into form that will endure. The earth man has begun to recognize the vision. His recent economic suffering makes him see that if Impersonal Love could replace personal selfishness, his social and economic ills would vanish over night. Even the man born and bred in lifelong privation grasps that the problem of society is no longer a problem of poverty, but, paradoxically is a future certainty of unlimited production and boundless wealth. It has come to him recently that man’s troubles are purely social, the pressure of the age old Cosmic demand “That ye love one another.”

But what he is not willing to admit, is that he, as an individual, or as a group of individuals, is able to initiate a change. His inborn inertia, and the fear arising from long subservience to Mammon hold him helpless.

ON THE Plateau, individual initiative usually operates, while on earth, all worthwhile work is accomplished in groups, impulsion gaining momentum with the growth of the group.

In offering earth a new concept of exchange, I have been compelled to act, first through individual Plateau men already incarnate on the earth, supporting and sustaining them by groups that operate on higher levels.

If these individuals already in the flesh can imbue earth men with their ideas and inspire the desire and incentive possible in a group, it will be but a brief time before the inertia and the fear of Mammon will be nullified to such an extent that any earth man that chooses can move forward into a new era and leave behind forever the economic problems that threaten his very life today. But he must choose!

In this age the Plateau men will come to man’s aid. They can appear in the flesh and give freely what higher concepts are needed. Original ideas, inventions, things of beauty, power and use, will pour from their hearts, brains and hands; all freely given for the use of man. There are thousands in the flesh today, all waiting their opportunity to serve, and vast multitudes are seeking embodiment as soon as conditions have been made favorable.
