War letters from the living dead man

Ponce de Leon was inspired when he sought the fountain in the New
World. It is there if anywhere; but Australia and Russia will run you a
keen race for the future.
No, I shall not tell you about the Seventh Race. It will come in good
time; but now I want to talk to you about the Sixth, one of whose
pioneers you are.
Do not cut this out of my book because an enemy once said that you were
egotistical. Our enemies always see and hate their own qualities in
us. Develop some quality an enemy has not, and he (or she) will love
you for it. The horseman is not jealous of the musician in his quality
as musician. It is the musician who is jealous of the musician, the
egotist who sees and hates another’s egotism. If Germany were a weak
nation she could not so hate England for her greater power.
When the Sixth Race is fully incarnate, all men and women of real
development will be able to see in the astral world, and to hear
unspoken words, and to read the thoughts of others. Of course there
will be people of all grades of development in that new race. Equality
of development is a pretty dream, you Socialists. Have you not also
your superior ones, your leaders? The less developed souls who come
into incarnation with the Sixth Race are those who have earned in the
past the right to be open to the quickening influences of that race.
How have they earned that right? By their willingness to change and to
grow.
Go out on the hillside and watch the growing things. Take a leaf from
the book of Nature.
You wonder about the future of England. Old England is provided for.
Has she not given birth to the civilization you enjoy? Other races were
present, of course; but language tells the story.
As I said before, England has been an instrument in the hands of these
Great Ones who wished to make possible the fraternity of races. She has
carried the torch round the world. She has tied continents together,
and woven the chain which will bind men to each other in days that are
to come. Honor her, for she deserves honor.
Honor all nations, as aggregates of souls, your brother-souls; but
honor most those nations that have worked with the Law and not against
it.
Those who aspired to see Germany the cradle of the new race should
have made less noise in the birth-chamber. They have scared the angel
visitor away.
There are four races in Europe that are cruel races. They cannot rock
the cradle of the divine infant. They would not remove the pin that
stuck in its back, lest if it did not suffer and cry its lungs would
lack air. I need not name these races.
