In resonance with today’s ecliptic alignment between the Sun, the Earth and Sirius, the cosmic Logos whose Star is indicated as the seat of the Prototype of our planetary Hierarchy of Masters, here are a few excerpts from the text dedicated to It, based on the indications of the esoteric trans-Himalayan Teaching:
… Like milestones on a luminous path, the Brothers of Humanity, ever alert, are standing on guard, ready to lead the traveler into the chain of ascent.
Hierarchy is not coercion, it is the law of the Universe. It is not a threat, but the call of the heart and a fiery admonition directing toward the General Good.
Thus let us cognize the Hierarchy of Light.
How to transmute the most bitter into the most sweet? Naught save Hierarchy will transform life into a higher consciousness.
It is impossible to imagine a bridge into the Infinite, because a bridge is in need of abutments. But Hierarchy, like the abutments of a bridge, brings one to the shore of Light. And imagine the entire effulgence that the eyes behold! And understand the Song of Light.
Let us labor for Light and Hierarchy!
(Introduction Hierarchy, Agni Yoga Series)
… The Hierarchy of Service is but the manifestation of the fulfillment of the Higher Will. (Hierarchy § 42)

According to the esoteric Sources, a Hierarchy of once human and now higher Consciousnesses, referred to as Masters of Wisdom or Initiates, is guiding human and planetary evolution from the more ‘subtle’, interior, spiritual or divine worlds, as the higher levels of the Soul (Group or solar Consciousness) or of the Spirit (planetary or cosmic Consciousness) are defined.
A major Triad of planetary Centres – Shamballa, Hierarchy and Humanity – is thus indicated at the summit and at the helm of our planetary existence.

And here is the triadic System of transmission Agents of Life and of the Evolution of Consciousness of our Planet:
From: A. A. Bailey – Discipleship in the New Age II, p. 214
The Relationship between the Hierarchy as a whole and humanity can be summarised with the idea of the realisation of some “Great Approaches”.
“By means of these Approaches, humanity has been brought (in consciousness) increasingly nearer to the spiritual centres of love and life and has been stimulated to make spiritual progress, to awaken to the light within, to unfold the Christ consciousness and to find the Path of Light which leads to divinity. This steady trend towards increasing relationship has focussed itself throughout the historical record by means of certain great registered revelations—the result of these Approaches. Always in moments of crisis and tension, the cry of humanity has evoked response from the Hierarchy which has come, sometimes rapidly, sometimes more slowly, but always inevitably. In modern history, two such Approaches are recognised as existing on a broad human scale, i.e., the one which focussed through the coming of the Buddha to the Eastern civilisation and that which focussed through the Christ, coming to the West. Another Great Approach is now at hand but its date is dependent upon the activity of the New Group of World Servers and the spiritual tension which they can achieve.”
(A. A. Bailey – The Externalization of the Hierarchy, p. 394)
How many distortions have been accumulated about the Truth! How many principles have been destroyed! They will ask, “On what is the Stronghold of the Brotherhood built?” Answer, “On the doctrine of the heart, the doctrine of labor, the doctrine of beauty, the doctrine of evolution, the doctrine of tension—the most vital doctrine.”
We are Votaries of the Infinite. Where the all-encompassing striving cannot penetrate, the Brothers of Humanity do not affirm their manifestation. We suffuse space with the flux of evolution. The Brothers of Humanity willingly renounce Paranirvana for the affirmation of human evolution, in their desire to lay the foundation for a better step. The goal is not divested of labor. The goal is not divested of sacrifice. Thus, point out the closeness of the manifestation of Maitreya. According to the prophecy of the most ancient Teachers, when humanity loses the foundation of the Teaching and sinks into obscurity, the Epoch of Maitreya will take place. Our pillars of the foundation are sent to regenerate the spirit-understanding. Thus say to those who do not understand, thus point out the doctrine of the Heart! (Hierarchy § 1)
