If it touches your soul, then this was for you. Let there be no discouragement, however, for the spiritual thought, resulting in magical work, of one brother of pure intent is of far greater potency than that of many brothers who follow the tendencies of the personality. Though every true aspirant as he grasps the magnitude of the Plan and surveys the forces arrayed against him may be overcome by the apparent futility of his effort and the seeming smallness of the part he plays, let him remember that there is a steadily growing group of those similar to him and that this is a group effort. Under the Law the Great Ones work through their disciples in all countries and never before have there been so many endeavoring to fit themselves for this function of being Transmitters of the Purpose and never before has there existed such a strong inner integrity and subjective relation between workers in all fields in all parts of the world. For the first time in history is there a coherent group for the Masters to use. Heretofore, there have been lonely isolated workers or tiny detached groups and this has greatly hampered the work. Now this has changed. I want to charge you all to realize this and to work to substantiate this group integrity and to develop the power to recognize all such workers everywhere under any name or organization and to cooperate with them when so recognized. This is not an easy thing to do. It presupposes the following : 1. An inner sensitiveness to the plan. 2. An ability to recognize principles, governing conduct and administration. 3. A capacity to overlook the non-essentials and to emphasize the essentials. 4. A submergence of personal ambition and interest in the furthering of the group ideals and 5. A steady preservation of the inner contact through meditation and the overlooking and non-emphasis of personality reactions. These are basic pre-requisites and should receive the attention of workers and students in all groups. It would be of value if each student would link up every day at five o clock by an act of the will with this rapidly integrating group of servers, mystics, and brothers. To this end it might be wise to commit to memory the following brief dedication to be said silently at that hour with the attention focused in the head : May the power of the one Life pour through the group of all true servers May the Love of the One Soul characterize the lives of all who seek to aid the Great Ones May I fulfill my part in the One work through self-forgetfulness, harmlessness, and right speech Then carry the thought forward from the rapidly forming group of world-servers to the Great Ones who stand back of our world evolution. This can be done in a few seconds of time wherever one may be and in whatever company, and will not only aid in the magical work of the forces of light, but will serve to stabilize the individual, to increase his group consciousness, and to teach him the process of carrying forward interior subjective activities in the face of and in spite of outer esoteric functioning. -Alice Bailey
