The evolutionary Plan envisaged for the Human Group “contemplates contribution to construction of a new human Culture based on golden relationships between the natural kingdoms and in proportion between Earth and Heaven”. As the fourth human Hierarchy, we are charged with the task of the great reawakening of Real Art “which composes Causes”, or the Art of building by the fiery Thought, which can imagine the Models and translate them into the “beautiful and useful”. Every human being is a miniature replica of the entire plan, just as our planetary Hierarchy is a miniature of the greater synthesis of those Lives and Energies Who manipulate, control, and demonstrate through the Sun and the seven sacred planets and other planets of which our solar system is composed. And at the lowest point of manifestation, we find the divine concepts working out, from the radiance and geometry of the mineral world, to the emanations of intelligent activity and devotion in the animal kingdom. For the lesser is included in the greater, varying only by quality of differentiated refinements and of greater and lesser limitations.
As active, creative and intelligent participants, or better said, “recorders” and “agents of impression” of the hierarchical Plan, the human Hierarchy is in a primary and major position where it can and must make the first daring attempts to imagine, namely to build at a causal level, the great Thought-form of the new solar Culture and Civilization. Humanity itself is the key to all evolutionary processes and to all correct understanding of the divine Plan, contemplating and gradually co-measuring to the higher Model. As both the Weaver and the Unifier in the great fabric of humanity[1], we may serve as the direct line or link of God’s will from the highest place to the lowest point.
What does this mean in practical and usable terms? We find through the Fourth Ray of Harmony through Conflict, aspirants, struggling, well-meaning people, workers for unity emerging along this line. If the evolutionary advancement of humanity is the long-end goal, then we as the human hierarchy can at the same time attain a unity of purpose based upon a genuine desire for the true welfare and progress of all people everywhere. It is this unity through multiplicity[2], the rhythmic pulsation between the ONE and the MANY, where true community can be realized on the level of the Soul, or of being. And to this relationship no limit can be seen: it connects every creature to all the others in the Universe. It is a question of learning to build the future, for the future.
“Perhaps for the first time, man today is sufficiently mature to participate in an active and far-sighted way in creating his next culture, which will give birth to the next wave of planetary civilization. But the Work is and must be, in this phase, only mental, and not yet physical.”
This is precisely the figure of the authentic seeker, who does not know the appearance of what he desires. It is thus said that he seeks the Truth and finds it … Here is the paradox: one must seek (creating the images ‘as if’ it is all real) without knowing what is sought. He does not know what to seek, but knows that he must and is able to.
It is logical that before creating one must think, invent and reflect, yet the consciousness of many people does not recognize this, and due to the anxiety and urgency they feel, they enter into action when their mind is not yet prepared, the concepts are not very clear and the formulas not completely checked … As long as one does not try to operate on the mental level with calmness, rhythm and decisiveness, one cannot acquire the necessary experience.
Therefore, the key to any work we do, whether physical, mental or spiritual, is the development of conscious Awareness and appropriate Response. In the case of the disciple, we must become aware first to what energies are present and then through the appropriate means available, develop the attitudes and skills needed to evoke not only a mental understanding but also an aspirational desire/a “dispassionate will”[3] for effective service. The new groups dedicated to serving the human race sincerely must trust in the real power of inner construction (thought-form building), which precedes concrete action. Otherwise, or if they continue to follow impulses instead of thoughts, they will obtain temporary and feeble effects on the present situations, but will not affect creation of the irresistible causes of the future.
“He knows that work is the best prayer, a divine gift that will never end, and the reward of itself. He knows that work opens the doors of the Hierarchy. He knows, lastly, that work teaches how to work …”
4/4: Imitation of the Hierarchy is to respond and conform to the higher Model.
Hierarchy is the central Reference for all the creatures of the Planet: Humanity must imitate It and gradually identify with the hierarchical Principle. The Canon 1-3-7 of the hierarchical and universal Life is the way to be and become “in the image and likeness” of the Divine, “in united breath and unified rhythm” with the Heart of Infinity.
5/5: The New Culture and Civilization manifests the hierarchical Plan on Earth.
A project is realized through a construction work, first on mental level, then on the lower levels down to the physical appearance. The Plan foresees that humanity develops planetary Consciousness for the launch of the new Aquarian Culture based on golden relationships between the natural kingdoms and in proportion between Earth and Heaven. The Seven sectors or primary directions of the new human Culture and Civilization will manifest the universal Law of the Seven Rays.
“The two images coexist, one dependent on the other. Without inner hierarchical harmony (4th R) nothing beneficial can be projected (5th R). And inner peace is meaningless unless it is offered to serve and build the outer one.”
Seed 4.5
The star of creation shines where forms are born. It manifests things, and itself.
It has the task of uniting the lesser to the greater part, and this one to the whole. Thus it differentiates between this and that, yet not separating them.
It transforms the sublime into the concrete without extinguishing that Fire.
Below the Star, creatures vibrate.
Above the Star, a rainbow, a bridge of Heaven, is burning.
Seed 5.4
I scatter not my force, but, in meditation deep, communicate with my reflection. I build the exact formulas of the new Culture.
I see them precipitate and branching out.
They replace the old ones, by now worn-out and without energy.
My project is a Work, and any Work of mine is a Project.

Notes:
[1]: “The keynote of the Lord of the World is HUMANITY for it is the basis, the goal, and the essential inner structure of all being. Humanity itself is the key to all evolutionary processes and to all correct understanding of the divine Plan, expressing in time and space the divine Purpose. Why HE chose that this should be so, we know not; but it is a point to be accepted and remembered in all study of the Science of Impression because it is the factor that makes relationship and contact possible and it is also the source of all understanding.” (Telepathy and the Etheric Vehicle, pp. 126-127)
[2]: “This common essence is the true bond between the parts, the substantial energy of the connection network which allows all communications and the unitary nature of the Work. It is that etheric or vital tissue which supports every entity and form, individual and collective, and is the medium of reunification or cohesion to the Divine, to that Sacredness of Space and Heaven which is the true and unique matrix of all Spirituality or Religion.” (Asserting the Planetary Plan, https://blog-en.theplanetarysystem.org/files/2016/11/TPS-Asserting-the-Planetary-Plan.pdf)
[3]: Remembering that “those who are sincere and true, impersonal and mentally poised, self-forgetful and loving, are found to work together in harmony” and can “communicate only that which is impersonal and truly constructive, and which will not feed the emotional nature and satisfy the desire-self.” (Esoteric Psychology, Vol I, pp. 115, 117)
