I. They are an experiment in founding or starting focal points of energy in the human family through which certain energies can flow into the entire race of men.

II. They are an experiment in inaugurating certain new techniques in work and in modes of communication. I would point out that in these last three words are summed up the whole story. These groups are intended to facilitate interrelation or communication as follows:

1. There is a group of what we might call Telepathic Communicators. These people are receptive to impression from the Masters and from each other; they are the [36] custodians of group purpose and, therefore, closely related to all the other types of groups. Their work is largely on the mental plane and they work in and with thought matter and with the reception and direction of thought currents. They are also working at the facilitation of communication between individuals so that the rules and methods whereby speech can be transcended may become known and the new way of intercourse be brought about. Communication will eventually be:

1. Soul to soul on the higher levels of the mental plane. This involves complete alignment, so that soul-mind-brain are completely at-one.
2. Mind to mind on the lower levels of the mental plane. This involves the complete integration of the personality or lower self, so that mind and brain are at-one.

Disciples must remember these two distinctive contacts and bear in mind also that the greater contact need not necessarily include the lesser. Telepathic communication between the different aspects of the human being is entirely possible at varying stages of unfoldment.

2. Another group is that of the Trained Observers. Their objective is to see clearly through all events, through space and time by means of the cultivation and use of the intuition. They work very largely on the astral plane at the dissipation of glamor, thus bringing in illumination to mankind. Thus another type of energy is brought into play, producing another type of interrelation and communication. This communication is between the plane which is the plane of illumination and pure reason (the buddhic plane) and the plane of illusion and glamor, which is the astral plane. The Trained Observers are asked to remember that their great task is to dispel the world illusion through the pouring in of light. When there are a sufficient number of groups, working along these lines, there will be found - upon the physical plane - certain channels of communication which will act as the mediators between the world of light and the world [37] of illusion. They will be transmitters of that form of energy which will break up the existing glamors and illusions, and so dissipate the ancient deceptive thought forms. They will release the light and peace which will illumine the astral plane and dispel the illusory nature of its life.
