The Masters and the New Age

“In the 1930s, the Master Koot-Hoomi made the following prediction regarding the coming change in consciousness, or what is popularly known as the “New Age.”

“Any great initiate who comes in the near future will need to be a very powerful person indeed if he is to contend with the spiritual vacuum which is making itself everywhere perceptible. Only the bravest of souls dare attempt what will become a struggle to keep the lamp of Truth alight until the fresh flowering of faith at the end of the century. We who watch the struggles of humanity with compassion realize the suffering with which the present is fraught, and yet we would not end it, even if it lay in our power. Where you see merely the wastage of frustrated effort, uncertainty, chaos, petty jealousies and bewilderments, the broken fragments of an uncompleted pattern we see that pattern a little more in perspective … We know the suffering may be likened to a spiritual ‘growing pain’ … This time the great influx of power to be poured forth at the end of the century must not, will not, fail in its object. It will be a mighty tide bearing mankind forward towards a greater comprehension, a greater enlightenment, towards the ineffable blessings of that peace which passes all understanding.”
