The great initiation of the Renunciation, plus the many smaller renunciations, is the result of inner conflict and ever precedes liberation into harmony and peace. Humanity is subjected to crises of discrimination, leading to right choice. That is the problem confronting humanity today, leading to a crisis within the United Nations. The Hierarchy is subjected to crises of decision, leading to perception of the Plan, participation in the Purpose, and the prevention of evil. The Principle of Conflict is today active in all nations, in all religions, in all organizations, leading to the emergence of the New Age.
Conflict produces points of crisis, then a point of tension, and eventually a point of emergence.
Who will inaugurate the new era of harmony. Through the pouring out of love or of the Christ consciousness upon the masses on the emotional plane. Through His recognized physical Presence upon Earth. Other nations are focal points of discord and thereby serve the Principle of Conflict. The U.S.S.R., the U.S.A., and the U.K. constitute a governing triangle of energy which, when right relations have been established, can and will create and foster right human relations among men.
