"The Ageless Wisdom teaches us that our Earth humanity is millions of years old, that man emerged as a being initially almost indistinguishable from an animal yet, spiritually and from his first appearance, far, far above the animal state. Though human beings are, essentially, high, spiritual entities, for the majority of their millions of years of evolutionary development, the average member of the human race has wandered the Earth in the depths of ignorance, unable to contact the heights of the soul and Spirit residing deeply within. Yet, during those untold aeons, humanity has not been left to its often desperate plight unsupervised and unattended. From the very first, great angelic Beings known as Solar Angels have brought the Light Divine to the nascent human consciousness, shining light and love upon the Path which would one day lead the members of the human race into the realization of the heavenly worlds and the discovery of themselves as truly spiritual beings whose true home lies in the realms of Light, Love and Spiritual Fire.

Ever so slowly, the humanity of Earth has awakened to the inner guidance provided by their celestial Mentors, the Solar Angels, and to the Light, Love and Wisdom which more advanced and experienced human beings (the great Sages and Rishis who begin their evolutionary adventure in earlier cycles) have sought to convey through the impartation of the Mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. The Ageless Wisdom—the Gift of ‘Heaven’—has always been presented to humanity in one form or another, and always the members of the Fourth Kingdom, the Human Kingdom, have been offered the opportunity (singly and in groups) to step through the Pillars of Wisdom and thus participate in the Life Divine beyond the Sacred Portal of Initiation.

On this beautiful planet of “releasing sorrow and purifying pain”, humanity is learning the great lesson of harmonizing the great Pairs of Opposites—the positive and negative, the impressive and receptive, the ever-present, deeply distressing and inescapable contradictions encountered by all self-conscious beings living in the lower three worlds. The two Sacred Pillars (one symbolically light and the other dark) represent these Opposites and the opportunity to reconcile them in harmony and beauty. The Pillars also suggest the sign Gemini (through the influence of which the great Solar Angels came to Earth) and also the number eleven—the number of the Initiate, of the sign of the Great White Brotherhood—the Spiritual Hierarchy of our planet.

Now, on the threshold of entering both a greater and lesser Age of Aquarius, humanity is poised to step through those Pillars. We, the human race, stand in large numbers on the point of redemption, illumination and liberation—IF we can understand the nature of our opportunity and “seize the day” that is now with us. It is of the greatest importance for the members of the human race to realize the existence of the Great Portal, of the Pillars which beckon all souls striving for the Light, Love and Life which are the birthright of every human Spirit. The age-old Quest for “Life more abundant” can now be fulfilled if the disciples, spiritually-minded people of the world and men and women of goodwill will only recognize their opportunity and do all within their power to advance towards the magnificent Pillars and, together, pass through into the Light, Love and Life of Hierarchy-becoming more than mere human beings—becoming, in fact, members of the Fifth Kingdom of Nature—the Kingdom of Souls." . . . . .

"The Pillars of Wisdom loom ahead. The Hierarchy calls. The promise of “Love Eternal, Light Supernal and Peaceful Silent Will” summons all awakening human beings to fulfill their individual spiritual quest and, thus, help the struggling human race fulfill its far greater, aeonial Quest for the Light, Love and Power which only the Spiritual Hierarchy can confer. Each of us (already a spiritual Pilgrim from the time immemorial when we descended into incarnation as a Spirit from the higher realms) can become a conscious Pilgrim determined to pass through the sacred Pillars towards the “Heart of the Sun” (the source of inspiration for all Spiritual Hierarchies within our solar system). Through the Pillars of Wisdom, towards us from “the other side”—Light, Love and Life are streaming. Let us, arm in arm, as a band of Brother and Sisters, inspired by the Spirit within, learn to pass through those Pillars—together."
