| The
Destiny of the Nations |
World
problems are increasing in complexity as the population of the world
increases, and as nations become inter-related and interdependent.
It is important for the future of mankind that we understand and
cooperate with the spiritual laws and forces at work within the
interwoven structure of civilisation, so that the individual part--human
and national--can be rightly related to the evolving whole.
A nation is subject, as a man is, to the impact of energies
emanating from solar and cosmic sources. These energies influence
the nation as a whole through the "mechanism of response" equivalent
to the Monad-soul-personality constitution of a man. Different
nations are more receptive to some energies than to others; and
all nations, subject to the evolution of national consciousness.
have a destiny before them which is literally based on the qualities
and the principles of the particular ray energy seeking expression
through the national soul.
ln this book the ray energies affecting certain nations, world
groupings and major cities are analysed in relation to meaning
and purpose, and to the emergence of ideas appropriate
to energy influences dominant at the end and at the beginning
of an age.
The world of humanity is shown as a state of becoming,
guided and given opportunity by the spiritual Hierarchy--the inner
government of the planet--from a stable state of Being.
The understanding, acceptance and fulfillment of spiritual possibilities
weaves the destinies of all peoples together into a synthesis,
in which each contributes to the whole the unfoldment of individual
potential. A recognition of the soul destiny of nations in the
light of the teaching in this book, has a practicality to day
in our search for international adjustments. The ray qualities
affecting the peoples of the world can be used intelligently to
promote understanding and unity.
We are given a glimpse in this book of the beauty of energy
synthesis when all component parts work together according to
their own ray combination and to ~the glory of the One".
"The future will see right relationships, true communion, a
sharing of all things ... and goodwill; we have also a picture
of the future of humanity when all nations are united in complete
understanding and the diversity of languages--symbolic of differing
traditions, cultures, civilisations and points of view--will provide
no barrier to right human relations. At the centre of each of
these two pictures is to be found the Christ."
