Course XXIV - Teaching 15: Initiates of Fire at Present

We could trace a divide between Initiates of Fire previous to the First World War (1914-1918) and the present. Since then mankind has entered a way of synthesis of all its precedent work, which has to culminate with the destruction of ancient sub-races and the definitive settlement of the new sub-race. In these transition periods of time, when preaching constructive doctrines for the world is considered useless, the Initiates of Fire are seemingly more retired within themselves or work in reduced centers to select souls that should keep the inner fire of faith and love alive.
Present Initiates of Fire live almost entirely ignored, though we know of a great number of them on Earth. Many of them have incarnated to prepare the coming of the Divine Incarnation, and others, to cooperate and form the sixth sub-race.
So, they are souls that are studying, praying and working, most of them in silence and darkness, for the time to come.
Some of them are hidden from glances of men on purpose; they bury themselves in monasteries and lonely places. About twenty of them, not to witness many mistakes of Humanity, between 1930 and 1939, had gone to Tibet to put themselves under the guide of wise Lamas.
Others, especially destined to lands of America, over all to the Northern area, also have retired to great cities in order to prepare their future work.
Many of them still are children that will be able to witness the final annihilation of the fifth sub-race and to achieve a clear social work, in the new era.
Initiates of Fire, before the present time, have disappeared in considerable number during the last Great War (1939-1945).
If students wish to meet Initiates of Fire of the present time, they must listen to their teachings and the voice of order they have given to find them: “Live in yourself, more and more hidden within you; enter the innermost depths of your heart and there we will tell you in what place we are, where we live and what is our name”.
