The potent rhythm which animates the inner Brotherhood of the Lodge of Masters will make itself felt everywhere on earth and these groups, if successful, may be regarded as the first step toward the emergence into manifestation of the Great White Lodge. But remember this: the keynote of the Lodge is not attainment or degree. It is stable relationship, unity of thought, plus diversity of method, of effort and of function and its quality is friendship in its purest sense. The Brotherhood is a community of souls who are swept by the desire to serve, urged by a spontaneous impulse to love, illumined by one pure Light, devotedly fused and blended into groups of serving Minds, and energized by one Life. Its Members are organized to further the Plan which they consciously contact and with which they deliberately cooperate.

It will be apparent to you, therefore, that the purpose of these groups is to unfold in time the three major powers of all illumined minds: [24]

First: the power to work in and with all thought substance. The Hierarchy of Illumined Minds is a group whose telepathic powers enable them to be sensitive to the mind currents and to register the thoughts of those who personify the Mind of God, the Universal Mind, and to register the thought-forms of those who are as far beyond the Hierarchy of Masters as they, in their turn, are beyond the disciples of the world.

Those Lives who carry out the ideas of the Divine Mind, exist in their graded orders, and with the detail of their groupings we are not concerned, except with the fact that the planetary Brotherhood is in telepathic rapport with those who are responsible for the planetary conditions in the solar system, with the Great Council, therefore, at Shamballa. They are also in immediate telepathic rapport with each other. The slowly manifesting powers of the radio and the sensitive workings of the perfecting radio mechanisms and of television are but the response in physical matter of the perfected telepathic powers and television of the minds of the Masters of the Wisdom. Forget not, that such powers are inherent in all men.

The inner group of Masters with whom I am associated work telepathically also with their disciples and the disciples with each other in lesser degree. The power to "see" the Master - which has been the misguided impulse of the devotees of the world who substitute this desire for aspiration towards soul contact - is but their response to the "television" of those who seek to guide them into the light of their own souls. They are only reacting to one of the demonstrated divine powers of the Master but not to soul action.

Your response to such stimulation as I can give you and an earnest endeavor on your part to love with unselfishness will gradually perfect in you a similar relation to other workers. This will work out in three directions:

1. In a demonstrated ability to be in telepathic rapport with me and with those with whom I am associated.
2. In power to communicate with each other at any time.
3. In sensitivity to the thoughts of humanity as a whole.
