First, that there should be a united effort by the collective members of the Hierarchy of Elder Brothers over a period of twenty-five years (that is until 1950) to bring about certain results, and that, during that time, their attention should be turned towards a definite attempt to expand the consciousness of humanity and institute a sort of forcing process, so that men’s horizons of thought would be tremendously enlarged, and their faith, assurance, and knowledge equally increased and strengthened. To this end it was decided that certain areas of doubt should be cleared up, and much fear be eliminated by outlining the general trend of the Plan.

Secondly, it was determined to link more closely and subjectively the senior disciples, aspirants and workers in the world. Therefore, all Knowers put their personal groups of disciples in touch with each other, subjectively, intuitively and sometimes telepathically. Thus the “New Group of World Workers” came into being.

The members of this Group of World Workers act as liaison officers, interpreters, and intermediaries between the inner active Brotherhood and the thinkers of the world, and also serve as their agents in every country and in every group. Thus all groups which were animated by any desire to serve and which were (in spite of errors in technique and method) of any usefulness in aiding their fellow men, were swept into a current of spiritual stimulation with the intent to increase their effectiveness. Groups that were crystallized and sectarian as a whole failed to respond, but in all of them, even the most dead, there were found a few who were responsive to the new impulse.

The institution of this new Plan automatically brought about an augmented training of those men or women who showed signs of being responsive to subjective influences and to the intuition. It was found wise to bring about a forcing process, which would make mankind more sensitive and so develop certain latent but hidden powers, and to attempt to bring the more advanced types of men up to a standard of sensitivity, and a spiritual receptivity hitherto only the prerogative of the few mystics and intuitives. During the past few years this process has been going on, and the results have proved better than had been anticipated. The war which devastated the world cleared away much debris.
