The Rebirth of Civilisation: Revolution, World War, and the Death of Forms

Social organisation and development itself, therefore, becomes the outer mechanism through which consciousness progressively externalises. The growth of cities, institutions, legal systems, industry, transportation, and global interconnection all fall within the domain of Third Ray activity because they represent the intelligent manipulation and organisation of matter. Within this framework, humanity functions as the intermediary planetary centre through which higher energies become embodied in culture and world affairs. The Mahachohan presides not only over intellectual development, but over the gradual refinement of civilisation and culture itself so that material structures may increasingly express spiritual purpose.
