For, With and Through

[QUOTING]

When the Universal Brotherhood of the Sons of God begins to work on behalf of a life-wave, such work is never experimental and not at all subject to speculation. Such work is always founded on a plan, which is put into operation at precisely the right moment in time, and which will succeed completely. Thus, when the Brotherhood of the Sons of God began its work for mankind in the Aryan period, with the aim of making known The One Truth, and enabling it to find acceptance, its success was assured in advance.

Seen in the long term, this work is threefold; it has three phases. In the first phase, the Universal Chain worked for mankind, in the second phase it worked with mankind and in the third phase, through mankind.

This means that in the initial phases of the Aryan era, when man's racial body was only barely suitable for expressing his awakening consciousness in the material-sphere, and when there was as yet no question of a really conscious way of life, it was the Sons of God who regulated and guided young mankind's course through life and all the related processes. So at that time, the sublime Brotherhood literally worked for mankind.

In the second phase, young mankind's consciousness was sufficiently grown and developed and man lived through his nadir on earth. The intellect developed sufficiently for man to be shown the Truth that lies at the foundation of all existence. From that time onwards, the Sons of God came into direct contact with mankind. You will understand how necessary that was, for how would human beings have come to know the Truth by themselves? It had to be made known to them by those who actually lived out of The One Truth!

Thus began the mighty and glorious period spoken of in legends, the period in which the gods appeared on earth and lived among mankind as true kings and priests. And thus the Truth came to dwell among us, to call us to our true Fatherland.

Then, the third period was born: mankind had been told about the Truth. Man had seen the Living Truth take shape in many. The great breakthrough had become a reality. Now man had to prove that he could reach Liberation on his own strength. From then on, Truth would have to be made known in and through man himself. The human king-priesthood came into being. And the Sons of God withdrew to their own Regions, so that from there they would be able to give all the necessary help and guidance.

So it should be clear that since time immemorial there ahas always been an unshakable, indestructible Hierarchy of human king-priests, completely in harmony with and linked to the Universal Chain of the Sons of God. Think of the Order of Melchizedek. Think of Christ Jesus our Lord, a Son of God, born of man. The passage of time has dimmed to some extent their message to mankind, but the Truth lives! It exists, in and throughout all ages, and there will always be those who proclaim it.

Amen.
