According to the text "The Externalization of the Hierarchy," the
sages are instrumental and wide ranging in their behind the
scenes work on behalf of humanity:

[Note: text in brackets are my (poster's) comments]

"Man's attention is normally focussed on the externalities of
living.  Nevertheless, all great discoveries such as those made
in connection with astronomy or in relation to the laws of nature
or involving such a revelation as that of radio-activity or the
epoch-making even announced this week [this quote is from a
letter written August 9, 1945] concerning the first steps taken
in the harnessing of cosmic energy [ i.e. "Atomic" energy] are
ever the result of inner pressure emanating from Forces and Lives
found in high Places...Eventually, disciples upon the physical
levels of activity become aware of the inner ferment, and this
happens either consciously or unconsciously.  They become
"impressed," and the scientific work is then started and carried
through into the stages of experimentation and final success."

"...The imminence of this release--inevitable and under
direction--produced an enormous tension in hierarchical circles
[i.e., the brotherhood of sages, masters, enlightened ones...]
because (to express the idea colloquially) a race was on between
the Dark forces and the Forces of Light to acquire possession of
the techniques necessary to bring about this liberation of needed
energy.  Had the Dark Forces [this refers to the forces behind
the Hitler and the Axis powers, not the people themselves]
triumphed, and had the Axis Powers obtained possession of the
needed scientific formulas, it would have led to a major
planetary disaster.  The released energy would have been used
first of all to bring about the complete destruction of all
opposing the forces of evil, and then it would have been
prostituted to the preservation of an increasingly materialistic
and non-idealistic civilization.  Germany could not be trusted
with this power..."

"...The evil forces were closer to success than any of you have
ever dreamed.  They are so close to success in 1942 that there
were four months when the members of the spiritual Hierarchy had
made every possible arrangement to withdraw from human contact
for an indefinite and unforseen period of time [anyone remember
the book/movie "Lost Horizon]; the plans for a closer contact
with the evolutionary process in the three worlds [physical,
emotional, mental] and the effort to blend and fuse the two
divine centers [humanity and spiritual hierarchy], into one
working, collaborating whole seemed doomed to failure...we made
all preparation to withdraw, and yet at the same time we
struggled to get humanity to choose rightly and to see the issues
clearly....

"...The trend of the power to know and to discover (a definite
form of energy) was deflected away from the demanding evocative
minds of those seeking to destroy the world of men, leading to a
form of mental paralysis.  Those seeking to emphasize the right
values and to save humanity were simultaneously stimulated to the
point of success."

"When the sun moved northward that year (1942), the great White
Lodge knew that the battle had been won.  Their preparations were
halted and the Masters then organized for renewed effort (through
their disciples) to bring about those conditions wherein that
which was new and that which was in line with loving divine
purpose could freely move forward.  The war was not won by the
surrender of Germany.  That was only the outer result of inner
happenings..."

Above extracts are from a collection of "letters" given to Alice
Bailey and published in "The Externalization of the Hierarchy," a
work subsequently attributed to the master Djwhal Khul (a Tibetan
by birth).
