In the days of the first three root | In the days of the first three [[root race]]s, the [[Manu]]s were the rulers, and those who were appointed to hold office during their reign earned the right to represent the people because they had first represented the light by passing [[initiation]]s and proving their self-mastery over cosmic forces. As long as members of the Hierarchy were in positions of rulership, the earth prospered. | ||

But as the dynasties became infiltrated with corrupting elements and the stream was no longer pure, the rulers lost contact with the God Source, and they became as other men. Injustices became so great that the people challenged the divine right of succession. | ||

Beginning in the nineteenth century, the Brotherhood endorsed democracy as the means whereby each man should become a king and a priest unto God, developing his Christ potential and being found worthy to rule himself. | Beginning in the nineteenth century, the [[Brotherhood]] endorsed democracy as the means whereby each man should become a king and a priest unto God, developing his Christ potential and being found worthy to rule himself. | ||
With the coming of mass education and the raising of the level of the consciousness of the people, the masters have been able to pave the way for an age of enlightenment wherein people would not only understand the Law but would behold the character of the Christ in their elected representatives. By this means, they would return to the system of government endorsed in the beginning, and those who by initiation had earned the right to rule would be elected to office under the guidance of the Christ Selves of the electorate. | With the coming of mass education and the raising of the level of the consciousness of the people, the masters have been able to pave the way for an age of enlightenment wherein people would not only understand the Law but would behold the character of the Christ in their elected representatives.

Side by side with the plan of the Brotherhood to return mankind to a golden age, the false | Side by side with the plan of the Brotherhood to return mankind to a golden age, the [[false hierarchy]]—the forces of darkness—have moved to thwart the plans of the Brotherhood. Thus, the manipulators staged the French Revolution and through their secret organizations in Europe undermined the plan of [[Saint Germain]] for the unification of that continent. | ||
Another plot of the manipulators is uniting the nations prematurely—before they have individually attained the Christ consciousness. The giving up of individual sovereignty of the nations to a one-world body that is controlled by neither the Great White Brotherhood nor its appointed representatives can only lead to a Luciferian despotism that will deprive all mankind of the opportunity to return to the Godhead. | Another plot of the manipulators is uniting the nations prematurely—before they have individually attained the Christ consciousness.

If this planet is to be preserved for a Golden Age civilization, the nations that are dedicated to the individual ascension of every man, woman and child on earth must not allow their energies to be drained by association with those who are not dedicated to the Christ. Only when all nations are brought to the level of the Christ consciousness can union occur. | If this planet is to be preserved for a Golden Age civilization, the nations that are dedicated to the individual ascension of every man, woman and child on earth must not allow their energies to be drained by association with those who are not dedicated to the Christ.
