c.)  The great fiery purification is
approaching
. That is why it is so
important to purify thoughts and
heart and attempt to assimilate the
fires of space.

d.)  “At the time of the change of
races, there always comes a Great
Revelation
, and, as usual, only those
whose consciousness belongs to the
next degree of development
(i.e., to the
New Coming Race),
can assimilate it
fully
.

e.)  
The rest will benefit insofar as they
are able.

f.)  
It is wrong, however, to think
that the remaining races will be
exterminated.
The best will be saved,
and some may even flourish.

g.)  
“Only the refuse, those who are
unable to proceed with evolution,
will die out or will entirely
degenerate
; ..” *
g.)  “One should try most intensely
to help lay the foundation for the
coming luminous constructive Age

, surrounded as they
are with destruction and decay.

10.)  Precisely, the sixth race must
begin the New Era, and
this preparatory
period is very strenuous
.


a.)  
But it would be wrong to think that
the sixth race is being born in one
particular country or nationality; it
is
spread widely
.


b.)  
Certainly, there is always the
main kernel of the sixth race, and in
the time of catastrophe its
members will be gathered into
places of safety.
