lost soul I would have remained, had it not been for the steady love, wisdom and I might emphasize patience that has been the unfailing grace of the "Masters of Wisdom." They are the universal teachers who have shined light on the eons of human experience as it transits from its microcosm of race, culture and creed to the macrocosmic destiny of a unified universal human divinity. I use the term "Masters of Wisdom" to include both masters who are as yet in physical form as well as those Ascended Masters, and illumined beings, who serve humanity from beyond what we experience as our physical world. They are the universal teachers that shine light throughout the eons of human experience from our transit from the microcosm of individuation, to the macrocosm of our full divinity. The Masters are also called the Elders of the Race, the Illumined Ones, the Brotherhood of Light, Divine Contemplatives, and Nirmankayas.

For those of you, who are as yet unfamiliar with the host of spiritual beings that guide us to the shores of our spiritual birthright, simply request that you too begin to benefit from those that have dedicated their lives to humanity's realization of the Universal Truth that is the foundation of existence. Pay attention to any thoughts and feelings that come to you, for it is through your thoughts and feelings that angels and Masters and guides and spiritual deity can most easily come into contact with the ever-increasing numbers of the seekers of truth and liberation that they serve. If you are already consciously receiving the blessings of the Masters bring your own experiences to the foreground while reading this material. Enrich the ethers between the lines and pages of this book with your own revelations of divine presence. It is my intention to not only impart understanding but to also create a stronger bridge, a literal channel of light for every reader to make and sustain contact with the Great Ones that steadily guide us all.

Whether these masters exist through physical embodiment or through embodiment at the higher, more subtle dimensional levels, their love and guidance can become a constant source of light in our lives that serves our overall spiritual well-being, as well as the ultimate attainment of enlightenment, or Buddhahood, for the entire human race. They shine the light of truth on all that is our divine inheritance through the conveyance of the Universal Laws and Principles and the comprehension of the workings of our cosmos. This is especially so as we ourselves begin treading the Universal Path of God Consciousness that leads to our own mastery.

Our Planetary Ascended Masters are the many great souls that serve and preserve the sacred essence within all life and the laws and principles that maintain universal and cosmic balance and order. During their lives in human incarnation, they mastered the carnal nature and the illusions of fear, achieving ascension from third-dimensional embodiment to a higher vibrational state known as the lightbody or spirit body. These are the great teachers of our planet's history. They achieved truth and illumination in the midst of an often barbaric background of darkness and ignorance on the part of the cultures and societies into which they were born. They have guided us and inspired us through the examples of their lives, and through teaching the foundational realizations that led to their own liberation. These realizations have become the sacred scriptures of our present day religions, and there are many more than the more conventionally accepted Holy Books: the Bible, the Torah, and the Qur'an. They would include the ancient writings of the Druids, the Tibetans, the Vedas, and the Freemasons to name a few, as well as the oral traditions of indigenous peoples.

It would be quite revealing to do a family tree of our present planetary masters and of their lifetimes on Earth, as each great soul has had a major impact on our planetary evolution of consciousness over the ages. The very ones who brought through these sacred wisdoms remain available to us today, no matter how long ago in planetary history they lived and shared their wisdom. If we are willing to seek beyond the written word into the ethers that precede our reality, we will discover that these great ones, the Ascended Masters, continue to serve us, from "the other side." They live in the purity of spirit; wherein God Conscious manifestation is upheld and orchestrated.

There in the realms of Divine Order, "religion" is the direct surrender to the unfailing truth of love, and love itself is thus the "divine activity" that the Ascended Masters offer us. Through their surrender and at-one-ment with spirit, these Masters now dwell in the sanctity of illumined being and work hand-in-hand with the angelic kingdom. They are the living manifestation of Christ Consciousness.

The Ascended Masters exist in full attunement with the Will of God and function as the collaborative agents of the Christ Universal, the great being who presides over our human affairs and bestows blessing and benevolence to all life on Earth. What we would consider miraculous phenomena are but the beginning levels of the Godself abilities that the Masters routinely manifest. Mastery of the physical world is referenced in the Vedic traditions as "the siddhis," and this includes manifesting physical objects out of the thin air of the etheric, moving through interdimensional realms at will, bi-locating, levitating, and commanding the Elemental and Devic Kingdoms.

In their earthly lives they demonstrated saintly, godly qualities and attributes, giving them the fortitude to transcend the adversities and challenges that arose. As in the example of Jesus who walked on water, multiplied the fishes and turned water into wine to satisfy the multitudes, these servers and saints demonstrated the birthright of human divinity. They achieved existence in the "Kingdom," even as they walked on Earth. They transcended their personality lives to entirely serve the salvation and healing of their fellow human beings. They also lived in reverence and attunement with Mother Nature, often being depicted as communing with plants and animals with grace and benevolence, as was exemplified by the beloved Saint Francis of Assisi.

It is not my purpose here to differentiate between degrees of attainment or to compare the significance or impact of an avatar, to that of a savior or to that of a saint. Suffice it to say that fear-bound belief was transcended entirely on the parts of all of the Masters of the Wisdom to achieve at-one-ment with the Divine and thus be entrusted as agents of the Divine Plan. Countless Masters are now working in unity for the enlightenment of humanity and our earthly kingdoms of various ranks and grades of illumination. Some recognizable names are: Mother Mary, Gautama Buddha, Apollonius, Confucius, Zoroaster, Muhammad, Babaji, Valmiki, and Ramana Maharshi. However, there are many, many more.

While these beings do continue to move forth upon the Great Wheels of the Illumined Life, continuing their own spiritual development and evolution, many remain in service to Earth and to humanity as members of the Brotherhood of Light. This is particularly true if their nature aligns with the path of Earth Service, which is one of the seven major paths of the Brotherhood for Light or if they are especially resonant with The Christ, who is also referred to as the Bodhisattva. Many exist in a spirit-matter, formed lightbody and occupy secluded abodes in remote and veiled locations in the Himalayas, southern India, the Andes, the upper Amazon, and Siberia. A few externalizations of Masters Beings are also beginning to take place in prepared locations in the west, in particular in the secluded locations in the Rocky Mountains of the western United States.

As we lead our busy lives, our progress as a planet is assured and furthered by the steady and unfailing guardianship of the Ascended Masters, as they guide us from behind the scenes of human affairs. With every age and era they strike the keynotes that impulse and frame the progression and upliftment of civilization. Although we as humans alter the purity of these universal keynotes of Divine Attribute, our planetary consciousness is nonetheless gradually "illumined," moving from the barbaric condition of primitive man toward our destiny to manifest the Adam Kadmon.

From within the greater scheme of the Divine Plan, the Ascended Masters steadily broadcast Divine Light to us through the Great Rays of Divine Aspect, Attributes and Quality to the mass-consciousness of our planet. Their radiation of truth and light is constant, and is not affected by our individual resistance, ignorance, or inability to consciously appreciate what we are being given.

They work to illumine and uplift the function of organizations, institutions and nations as well as to guide spiritual aspirants to enlightenment. As an example, the Declaration of Independence for the United States was penned from the guiding light of the Masters, as is also the case for numerous organizational mission statements of a higher nature and purpose. Many shifts to a more benevolent or civilized social order are prompted and guided by the Masters or directed by The Christ.

The Brotherhood of Light is sometimes referred to as the Hierarchy. Their unified service functions from a hierarchical structure that brings order, clarity and harmony to their interrelated spheres of focus and common cause of world and universal upliftment. They are implementers of Divine Law and the spiritual principles that regulate and maintain balance through creation. Service to this law requires that all those that hold greater illumination serve all those that are following along in their spiritual development. The hierarchical principle is founded on service and guardianship and the premise of brotherhood among beings. Because they work in alignment with the Love, Wisdom, and Will of God, their service to all evolving kingdoms is an on-going act of joy and creativity.

The hierarchy of Masters, can be viewed as the helping hand of God, extended from the premise of Unity Consciousness, to all those that are yet to awaken. Our planetary masters work through this template of hierarchical service in at-one-ment with the universal cycles of light and time that comprise and impulse the whole of creation. At the same time, all assistance is executed in absolute observance of the free will and integrity of each developing life form. The principle of free will is the basis of the Christ Consciousness that the Masters uphold, and is in full operation on Earth.

The primary goal of the Brotherhood of Light is to assist in every way possible the awakening of humanity to our spiritual destiny. This will include the understanding of our place in the vast scheme of an ever-unfolding universe and the greater galactic community of which we have always been a part. For instance, as humanity awakens to the spiritual nature within all form, all atoms, all beings and all kingdoms, we will progress in our own loving service to become the true guardians of the kingdoms of Earth.

This is our natural divine destiny, to step into our responsibility as guardians of the sacredness of all life to become true caretakers of our planet. We will then enter into relationship with the human, plant, animal and mineral kingdoms from the creative spirit of unity and cooperation, rather than that of either deliberate or unconscious exploitation. We will then become God Conscious residents of Earth, as well as awakened members of the universal spiritual hierarchy of creation. The hierarchical system provides for divine order and flow not only for our planetary context but also that of the solar and universal context. Through the Hierarchy of the Brotherhood, the laws of love and the principles of light are translated into the manifestation of each dimension of consciousness. This emanation is the Will of the One God, moving through creation in a synchronicity that is at play at every plane and stage of existence. The Planetary Brotherhood serves our planet, as does each planetary brotherhood for every evolving planetary system.

The Solar Brotherhood serves our solar system and the Universal Brotherhood serves our universe. All are linked together as the many orders and ashrams of the Brotherhood of Light, working in unison even though they have specific areas of guardianship focus suited for their own unique individuality. In this way, the Brotherhood of Light exists multi-dimensionally throughout our universal realms, overseeing and furthering the progress and development of all sentient life.

The Masters refer to their hierarchical system as the Divine Order of the One Life. They also describe their relationship to one another as an orchestrated collaboration of the Lines of Force and Spheres of Being, which correlates to the divine attributes and qualities of God Consciousness. This concept of spiritual structure is a vast and intriguing study but suffice it to say that the term Line of Force relates to timelines of creation from thought to manifestation of the Will of God, which produces a progression of benevolent effect, whereas Spheres of Focus are areas of developing higher purpose that pertains to specific objectives within the context of the greater objective of manifesting Divine Will and expansion. Lines of Force progress, connect, and regulate. Spheres of Focus influence, integrate, and disseminate.

This system maintains higher purpose, continuity and divine order. It is also based on the Great Rays from which light and sound move through creation as forces of manifestation and expression of "the Great Work." I will offer far more on the meaning and schematic of the Lines of Force, Spheres of Focus, and the rays of consciousness in additional writings. For now, I wish only to provide a basic understanding of the structure, purpose and schematic of the Brotherhood of Light. But let it be assumed that the organizational structures that I speak of are a sacred geometry of living light that includes all components of relationship and thus flow. The word "hierarchical" is in no way limited to human understanding of the pyramidal structure common to the Earth power structure that perpetuates the imbalance of malevolent power.

As individuated souls, each member of the Brotherhood continues to have free will. However, at these levels of consciousness, alignment with the Will of God is the very basis of the higher order of life. The factor of free will is wholly creative which propels each Master in the perfection and expansion of their own inherent qualities and attributes as illumined souls. For the Masters, free will and the Will of God are one and the same thing because the creative thrust of the aspect of Will is in full at-one-ment with Divine Law and the causal purposes of the "Word of God." The Will of the Masters expresses as loving creativity, in service to bringing forth the divinity of all life forms. In order to provide the most assistance for the development of sentient life, the Ascended Masters offer their work through a multi-leveled hierarchical system, comprised of lodges, orders, ashrams, and departments of creation guardianship.

The great solar and universal orders of creation guardianship are aspired to by members of our Planetary Brotherhood, as part of their own journey into full co-creatorship. The Brotherhood is organized through synchronized circles of universal orders, it maintains, furthers and protects galactic, solar, and planetary life in response to the needs of developing worlds. Much of the work of the ancient or sacred mysteries, such as the Freemasons and the priesthoods of ancient Egypt, moved from association with the Brotherhood of Light as it exists in the extra-stellar context of divine human life.

For the Masters, the extra stellar lodges of the Brotherhood of Light serve as an interconnected web of higher consciousness and many universal and galactic locations serve as the graduate schools of co-creatorship, where the PhD's of creation mastery reach full maturity. It is through these great councils of light and halls of wisdom that the care and evolution of our universe is guided. This guidance has a vast and fundamental purpose in supporting the unfolding of consciousness and life at every dimension of creation, of which humanity is a part. Because stellar masters exist at higher dimensions, the passage between worlds and domains is a routine matter enabling an ease of shared wisdom, responsibility and integration among stellar councils.

The Brotherhood of Light is unified in their purpose to manifest the template of Christ Consciousness, the Divine prototype for the perfected human soul as an unfolding destiny for the human race. A Christ-Conscious Soul is a soul that has achieved full unity with the three aspects of God, referred to as the Trinity in numerous traditions. This means that complete fusion with the Will, the Love-Wisdom, and the Active Intelligence aspects of Divinity has been restored to its original divinely created state. Achieving at-one-ment with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost in the Christian terminology is synonymous with living in the Trinity of Christ Consciousness.

The Vedantic tradition refers to this state as the Atma Soul, to indicate immersion in the triune Godhead, which they refer to as Shiva (Will), Vishnu (Love/Wisdom), and Brahma (Active Intelligence). Thus this great circle of Atmic souls works in complete at-one-ment with The Christ, who heads our planetary hierarchy, and is referred to in Theosophical literature as the World Teacher or Christ Universal. Eastern traditions call this the Christ Principle.

The Christ Universal is the guardian of the collective human soul and can be likened to the higher self or oversoul of the human race. He is the love that offers salvation to the seeking soul and will be our planets guardian until every soul has received the salvation of the immortal life, the merge between spirit and matter that is provided by the Divine Plan. The terms rapture, ascension, enlightenment are terms that seek to identify one and the same thing.

The Christ Universal serves as the head of the conclave of the Master Souls who have in the past been the prophets and sages of history. He is the Lord and Master around whom our planetary Brotherhood of Light is formed. Referred to as the teacher of teachers, of men, and of the angels, The Christ presides over the needs of the human race and serves as the intermediary between humanity and the Will of God. He is at the same time the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost and is a manifest example of the trinity of God Consciousness in all perspectives of the understanding of the Trinity that is expressed through all the world's religions and philosophies in some form or another. He is also the Universal Principle from which human life is designed and created in the likeness of God.

The members of the Brotherhood of Light serve as representatives of the Christ Universal throughout creation, wherever their service takes them inter-dimensionally. At the universal level, The Christ is served by the Universal Order of Melchizedek. It is this conclave of creation guardianship that specifically represents and serves The Christ and all endeavors of spiritual service with which the Christ Universal is engaged.

The Order of Melchizedek is a lineage of Masters that has manifested itself on Earth through the incarnations of many historic luminaries and groups, and has survived the many long cycles of human evolution. The Christian mystic stream has its roots in this lineage, as does the group known as the Essenes and the Freemasons of ancient Egypt. The list is long due to the nature of reincarnation, and sometimes hazy or incomplete in interpretation. There is often unclear understanding as to the role of the Order of Melchizedek and its inclusive relationship within the greater Brotherhood of Light of which it is an integral part. However there are a number of biblical and other references in ancient texts, which refer to Melchizedek. Many of our biblical figures, such as Noah, Moses, Elijah, and Abraham, were also members of this spiritual lineage, along with masters from the eastern Buddhist, Hindu, and Vedic traditions. The Brotherhood is comprised of illumined souls from all spiritual traditions, and together these lineages assure the upward and onward progress of humanity's return to God Consciousness.

The Divine Plan that the Masters serve is a sacred template for creation that is all sustaining. One might think of it as the universal business plan that moves from a supremely benevolent mission statement. This is the grace of God in action, which is a living force of trust that all of creation will one day realize as its own divinity, the very nature of God Consciousness. The manifestation of this perfection through form is always in a state of becoming. The laws of love and principles of light always honor the free will of all beings. At the same time, the absolute unchanging truth of Creator Consciousness is also upheld. The Divine Plan, which is within the word, the light, and the sound of God, is in essence the utterance of perfect balance between form and formless.

The Divine Plan is as the sacred altar upon which the true nature of each human being lies, like a jewel waiting to be discovered and embodied. This divinity is a discovery that is all the more exquisite because of the gift of free will. Each human being is a flower waiting to blossom into an exquisite Lotus of the Soul. Our planet will be truly uplifted as all souls worldwide are supported to flourish through their inherent soul qualities and thus make their greatest contribution to the greater whole of humanity. The Divine Plan provides for an exponential expansion of divinity that exalts all life.

My own experiences with the Masters are beyond counting and I owe my awakening to their steady care. Even during my childhood their grace was a guiding influence that without question benefited my ability to gain glimpses of Divine Remembrance to nourish the unfolding of my soul. Their presence behind the fabric of my life gave me every possible means of support to meet the challenges that my soul had chosen for this lifetime, to further anchor higher understandings and to eventually bring them into everyday use.

Now it is clear to me that each soul that awakens on earth is engaged in co-creating a higher order of existence for all of creation. And each soul is fully supported by both the masters as well as the angelic host as each challenge of spiritual growth is met. This process allows us to take step after step, at our own pace, in the light of our own evolving understanding. Our free will is honored at every point, at the same time that we are supported with the light of truth and the essence of love.

As the great wave of awakening takes hold, we are actually preparing for the descent of the heavens and the lifting up of earth and humanity. As we awaken in sufficient numbers, the Brotherhood of Light will move from esoteric influence into exoteric influence here on Earth. The Brotherhood of the Masters will be externalized and made manifest in open view and activity before the nations of the world. This will be heralded by the attainment of enlightenment on the part of these souls who themselves became externalized living masters.

My life is fully given to bringing this about. As human free will becomes the agent of planetary guardianship, so then will the Brotherhood once again openly guide all souls, all nations, and all kingdoms of Earth into a higher order and expression of Life. The full externalization will also make manifest our ultimate planetary life, the creation of Shamballa on Earth. The Externalization of the Brotherhood will bring about the Fifth Kingdom or dimension; Shamballa will bring about the Seventh Kingdom.

Because we live at a time when the veils between the worlds of form are being lifted, the Ascended Masters are now in communication with thousands upon thousands of spiritual aspirants worldwide, through the inner planes of higher self and soul-level consciousness. And as the Brotherhood of Light steadily moves from their inter-dimensional sanctums into full presence among the nations of the world, peace on Earth will be assured. The time has come and the need is great for the councils of universal wisdom to openly convene on Earth on behalf of our planetary ascension into fifth dimensional Christ Consciousness and the ultimate perfection of Shamballa or seventh dimensional consciousness.

The door of Mastery has now opened wide, offering an unprecedented opportunity for world servers and disciples to make a monumental spiritual progression by achieving admittance into our planet's highest spiritual conclaves. There, Atmic souls and Divine Contemplatives hold the focus for the Will of God, the Divine Plan, and the salvation of the human race. It is this group of spiritual beings that serve as intermediaries between our humanity and Shamballa, assuring that the Divine Plan is focused and carried out upon Earth to its greatest possible potential. It is their purpose to affect world conditions throughout all echelons of government, education, business and finance, philosophy, science, art and music, economic structures, and religions. Their individual areas of focus are directed according to each one's resonance and ray type.

As the Masters step forth, the orders of creation guardianship will also be brought forth, as Earth takes her place within the greater universal community. Earth and her people will soon join hands and hearts with the other planets of peace, galactically and universally. This is a time long awaited among the star nations, all those that have watched over us from afar and assisted our progress as an awakening people. As humanity steadily seeks to live from a higher order of benevolence to transcend the animal nature altogether, so it is that the Christ Universal will unify our global nations in a thousand years of peace and prosperity as foretold in prophecy. Brotherhood among souls and nations will be the keynote of this golden era.

Gradually, there will be a global clarification as to the prevailing guardianship of the Christ Universal over the whole of the human race, regardless of religious or cultural orientation, as the guardian of all souls. The pure Universal Principles that The Christ embodies are beyond the comprehension of most seekers and are not exclusive to Christianity in the conventional sense.

To become Christ-like, is what allows the soul to pass through the eye of the needle into the kingdom of Christ Consciousness. The human race is destined to become Bride of The Christ. This refers to the wonder of universal magnetic principles, and more literally refers to the need on the part of humanity to become fully receptive to The Christ. This is literal in the fact of seeking union with the beloved Christ. In esoteric terms, this also refers to the magnetic relationship wherein the human soul becomes feminine and thus fully receptive to the penetrating love of the Christ. The atomic and molecular shift into a higher vibration is made possible as the Christ Principle is unleashed from within the human flesh atomically thus achieving the ascended state of the Adam Kadmon.

The Christ Universal serves through the blue ray of love and wisdom and is flanked in the hierarchal structure by the Manu and the Mahachohan, who in turn answer to the Christ with regard to the regulation of the work being orchestrated to bring about the transition of the earthly kingdoms into a higher state of manifestation. Suffice it to say that the Divine Plan provides for the full God Consciousness of all the kingdoms including the animal, plant and mineral by virtue of the unsheathing of the atomic light of God within these life forms, until even the atom itself becomes fully God Conscious and endowed with all of the inherent properties of God Consciousness.

Many rounds and chains of life on Earth will unfold this eventuality, perhaps thousands of years from now in the appropriate Yuga of time that best influences this divine culmination. Heaven on Earth, New Jerusalem, and Shamballa are all terms which describe the fulfillment of the Divine Plan on Earth.

As the Masters move forth from esoteric or veiled presence to exoteric unveiled presence, the existence of Shamballa will steadily be revealed. Shamballa, the divine realm of mystic legend, will one day be unveiled to the multitudes of Earth. Long held as the kingdom of the Gods and the dwelling place revered by our most ancient streams of wisdom, Shamballa increasingly casts her light into the perception of many aspirants, disciples and world-servers, as they awaken to the eternal presence of the divine, and seek to manifest it in its full glory upon Earth.

Shamballa is the ultimate evolutionary destiny for humanity. Shamballa is often referred to as "The Center where the Will of God is known." Within its own inner sanctums lies a much revered and protected spiritual center, described by the Masters as the "Fiery Center," where the Divine Plan for Earth and humanity is brought forth from the purity of the formless into the temple of form. This service is carried out by the Nirmankayas, and the Ascended Masters, whose active meditation on the Will of God anchors and focuses the Divine Plan for the whole of the planet.

Shamballa carries out her Plan through the contemplative purity of focus held steady by these illumined beings and guardians of humanity. Although many Nirmankayas are meditating in their abodes in the Himalayas, there are increasing numbers of Nirmankayas and illumined beings achieving illumination and enlightenment globally. This will continue to increase and will serve as a harbinger agent to the Externalization of the Brotherhood of Light as the universal spiritual guardians of this planet.

The Divine Plan can be likened to a blazing living light of intricate sacred concept, the force of which manifests as a template, guiding and drawing all of creation to itself with exquisite precision. It is inconceivably vast, in both its spatial scope (the whole universe), its endurance through time, and its dynamic alignment with both God's Will and the evolving consciousness of all beings. At an even higher level than Shamballa, the Plan is mediated and administered by great beings called Manus and the Kumaras, who supervise our earthly progression through its various stages in specific venues.

For instance, we are presently in what the Hierarchy calls the fourth root race, or the fourth Wheel of Light here on Earth, and we are transitioning into the fifth root race even now. Each root race has a master who guides the progress of the human family and who holds the forms, the archetypes for that race, gathers the lessons learned as that race evolves, and passes them on to the Manu of the next race. Each Manu for each race, in each planetary scheme, is responsible for maintaining the flow of divine intent, and integrating this work with the overall plan of the Solar Logos, who focuses the Divine Plan for the whole solar system.

So there is a Hierarchy of Manus, as well as a Hierarchy of Logos, and all of these magnificent beings work together in timeless divine harmony and synchronicity for the glory of God and the benefit of all life forms. The Divine Plan is what holds it all together. More on the role of the Manus and the Mahachohans, the system of "globes" and "chains" through which they work, and the cosmic scope of their purpose, will be developed in future volumes.

Thus the hierarchy serves the Divine Plan as a dynamic template of spiritual potential and possibility, a fiery symphony that is ever renewing and ever adapting in its partnership with our supreme creator's mind. As the invocations of aspirants are heard, and the responses evoked are received and integrated, the Plan, as it is orchestrated by enlightened initiates, adapts and evolves in the manner in which it is implemented. But the destiny is ever full God Consciousness for all Beings from stars, to humans, to atoms.

The Plan will manifest in the physical dimension as the light of Shamballa integrates with the Earth, the living entity that she is, as Earth comes into the beauty of a conscious unity throughout her kingdoms. As our Earth as a living entity awakens atomically, a new Garden of Eden will be co-created with an enlightened humanity serving in sacred guardianship. The Nirmankayas, the Illumined Masters and Teachers perform a great service, so that the perfection of God's Will might be realized on Earth. That this realization is soon to be unfolded before our very eyes is the wonder of this age of awakening. That is why there are so many voices, on all sides, proclaiming, "Now is the Time" as we enter a great phase of preparation that will herald the realization of peace on Earth.
