>From Red Letters the context
Our recommendation is that you give yourself time to let the content of the Introduction and Letters settle. In time it will settle and from this place may come useful and important questions. If those questions are put forward to us we will ensure that certain of them are passed onto Kuthumi for him to make his reply. In this way we hope to get some much needed constructive dialogue going with the Hierarchy on the subject of 2012.
The Letters are under copyright to World Teacher Network (WTN) which is managed by the DK Foundation, but they may be distributed freely. If they are reproduced on web sites please register with the Foundation so that we can create a network. It is almost certain that KH will use this network to distribute other communications.

The Red Letters
KH
Introduction
I am Kuthumi. Many of you know of me as Master K.H.; some of you know that at this time I stand at the head of those who teach on the Second Ray. It is in this capacity that I address you now.
The identity of my collaborator in this undertaking is a matter of no concern. It is consistent with both the aim of the exercise and the wishes of my collaborator that the intermediary’s role be obscured by direct reportage of what was said by me during our many interviews which commenced as the year 2004 closed.
The aim of this undertaking is to put in place knowledge that will equip us to deal with the events of 2012. I say ‘we’ because in this matter the Hierarchy is one with mankind, and preparing you for this momentous event is something for which, long ago, the Hierarchy assumed full responsibility.
These communications will take the form of a series of open letters, twelve in all, laying out the considerations that will shape man and his spirituality after the Planetary Initiation that will reach the physical stage of expression in 2012.
These communications are designed to have a wide readership; they are not simply for those with an interest in esoteric teachings. The delivery is intentionally direct and factual. My collaborator and I have put much effort into finding the words and expressions that will make these communications easy to understand.
I am calling these communications the Red Letters and, as you read them, I encourage you all to ponder why this should be.
The awareness that major physical changes will occur on our Planet in 2012 is growing apace. Yet for all this, the reality is that we are we are facing this time seriously ill-equipped.
My brothers, from the spiritual angle mankind is in a worse condition than it has been at any time in the modern age. In other periods, materialism has held mankind in its grip and spirituality has been downgraded and rejected, but there has never been a time when materialism has been called spirituality, as is the case now. The confusion that is resulting from this is costing you dearly[i].
Humanity has made extraordinary choices in the past 100 years. It has chosen ease and egotism; but it did not have to be this way. The knowledge that would have informed other, more helpful choices has been available for generations.
For its part, the Hierarchy has both underestimated the problem and made errors of judgment. Our biggest error was that we did not envision that man would reject the knowledge and perspectives of the Initiate in preference for astral excitement. We anticipated a different response to the knowledge that we have provided in the last century[ii]. We assumed that it would be a spur to mental development, and we failed to read aright. the signs that were telling us that this was not the case. Our sense of commitment and responsibility have not lessened, and it is with deep sorrow that we work now to try and improve the situation
My collaborator has had to be made aware of this sorrow and it has been a heavy burden, one of many connected with this undertaking.
As I have said, in this matter mankind and the Hierarchy are one. As you might say, we are in this together. We appreciate that more detail about the purpose and nature of events in 2012 may help mankind to focus on its own role, and such detail is the substance of this Introduction.
Let it be understood that survival of the physical events of 2012 is matter of choice because the necessary warnings and organisation, and the knowledge of how to survive will all be in place.
How many will choose to leave their possessions and attachments? This is the nature of the choice to be made[iii].
The Red Letters are for those who would cut through astral confusion and remain on dry land. They are for those who intend to survive 2012 to take mankind on to the next stage of its journey.
The nature of the Event
The nature of the occurrences of 2012 will be appreciated where there is understanding of the mystery of baptism and, specifically, the purpose of immersion.
Immersion in water heals and restores. There are those who view the immersion of an infant at baptism as an act of unkindness because that is the way that human thinking has gone; and there are those who will view the immersion of terra firma in water as a judgement upon mankind. This is not the case.
In 2012, to permit it to raise its vibration, the planet will see its most polluted parts immersed. Physical pollution reflects astral pollution. Man is partially, but not wholly, responsible for creating those astrally low places but, unavoidably, he is caught up in the situation. It is the habit of self-centredness that makes him think he is the cause.
As a general statement, the terrain north of 65 degrees will be above the global upheaval. This will be the safe zone[iv].
There will be other locations below 65 degrees North pre-designated as safe, and information about them will be released at appropriate times, through the appropriate channels.
The territory above 65 degrees North is open to anyone who is able to make and to take the decision to leave what is familiar to him.
Survival is a matter of choice.
The physical process
On December 17th & 18th 2012, the configuration of planets interacting with stellar influences will pull our planet into a more upright position[v].
The situation may be likened to a bent person straightening up.
This motion will change the moon’s orbit.
Amongst the effects of this will be, that:
1. The moon will be visible from only a relatively small proportion of the Earth’s surface
2. The changed angle of Earth’s axis in respect of the sun will create a more temperate and more uniform climate on the planet
3. The changed angle of its axis will also mean that new constellation will be identifiable from Earth[vi].
In time, as a result of this process, the energies removed from Earth and infusing with the moon will bring about a similar process on the moon itself which will then develop its own moon. This involutionary process, however, need not be our concern.
The effect upon Man
These changes will encourage the consciousness of mankind to orient itself differently. Man will become more spiritual in the sense that its mental capacity will increase as lower energies are expelled.
Amongst these lower energies are the involutionary tendencies. As these are expelled, so man’s astral body will be cleansed of its separatist tendencies. Although his astral vehicle will still constitute his lower principles, that part of man will not be involutionary, as is the case at present.
The increasing of mental capacity means that man will respond differently to stellar energies.
As stated previously, new constellations will also be created by the changed relationship of Earth to the celestial backdrop and this will admit new influences into Earth’s energy field
The Zodiac
Although it will not change in its construction, the Zodiac will be understood differently because a higher energy will be able to flow through it. The result of this will be that it will become more expressive of man’s potential and less concerned with his liabilities.
Each man will know his purpose and he will school his emotional nature to assist him fulfil that purpose.
The purpose of the Zodiac will be to encourage and direct aspiration and exist as a matrix for the refinement of man’s astral vehicle. Rather than distributing energy as is the case at present, the signs will be perceived to act as magnets, drawing emotional energy upwards and giving it direction.
The Astrology of the future will emphasise the Seven Suns, and the esoteric and the Hierarchical rulers of the signs, which are as the Master DK has given out. The conventional rulers of the signs will be abandoned.
The twelve spiritual principles outlined in these Letters anticipate the Zodiac of the future.
Amongst the Hierarchy, it is hoped that the present time will see preparation being made for these changes.
The Spirituality of Man
At present, the emotional body of man is dominated by selfish, separatist urges and his spirituality is a response to these urges. Spirituality now is shaped by the efforts of the isolated individual to hold down his lower nature.
The spirituality of the future will be based upon a realisation of potential. The difference between these two assumptions and, in consequence, in the quality of the spirituality arising from them is far greater than you suppose.
Owing to the involutionary nature of the lower self at present spiritual impulse meets with resistance. This will not be the case in the future when man’s emotional nature will welcome the energy that is to refine and direct it. Man’s spirituality will be informed by the need to give structure and direction to the emotional self. At present the emotional self does not want this kind of discipline: it wants to be allowed to gratify its selfish, separatist urges.
At the time of and after 2012, survival will be dependent upon group endeavour and co-operation will be the centre-piece of consciousness where now is self-centredness.
Earth will become a more harmonious and constructive place, a place where God’s plan meets with conscious cooperation.
The religion of the future will be based upon the recognition and reverence of the Intelligences residing in each of the twelve signs, and upon encouraging co-operation with them. The nature of these Intelligences will be understood through their Hierarchical rulers, and man will attend at their altars. They will be more influential than the parents in the shaping of a child’s life[vii].
Man’s emotional body
The emotional body of Man will be refined by the cataclysmic events of in 2012 and will become aspirational in nature. At present aspiration represents the highest expression of a vehicle driven by desire.
After 2012 the etheric body of our planet will support only those members of the human family with the heart centre open or ready to open. Those who have not attained this level of development will go, of necessity, into another system, into which the animal kingdom will eventually gain entry[viii].
This is not the first time that such a process of refinement has removed from the planet’s etheric body members of the human kingdom below a certain level of development. Tracking the withdrawal of involutionary lines, however, has never been a part of the teaching of the Masters.
Beside, man knows it. Over the ages, his consciousness has been impressed by this knowingness and by the need to look to himself. He does not need to be told anymore. His need is to take note of what he knows.
In the time that remains, practice replacing covetousness with aspiration, and isolation and self-centredness with purposeful endeavour. Express the quality of life bestowed upon you by the Sun in its sign and become yourself a conscious, active, contributing part of our Solar Logos, for it is He whom we name when we speak of God.
There are now places on Earth where you can walk and be strengthened in who you are and what you know. Find these places out and help yourselves as we try to help you.
My brothers, these communications are offered as a challenge but also as a lifeline.

Commentary
[i] The principal problem is that spiritual ideas are being used to strengthen and support egotism and separation. Spirituality has been taken hostage by the lower self. Spiritual self-importance, imagined levels of development, acquisitiveness, misuse of the astral plane and laziness are amongst the most prevalent negative manifestations of this confusion of spirituality and materialism. Yet the situation is different from the state of affairs at the time of Atlantis. It is less that psychic power is being abused as, we are told, was the case then; it is rather that powerlessness - passivity, negativity and hopelessness - has taken grip of mankind.
[ii] Spiritual aspirants have remained passive in their expectations, waiting for rewards, signs of favour and selfishly using the astral plane to take rather than to give out.
[iii] There are considerations of two kinds here:
i) For the individual, facing 2012 in a state of preparedness and consciousness which involves working on self to raise vibration and open the heart centre.
ii) For the member of the human race, thinking beyond 2012 and of the need for physical vehicles of quality to accommodate those returning to incarnation to take mankind on into the future.
[iv] Below 65S is also to be considered outside the danger zone, but for reasons which are to do with the geography, history and energy of the South pole, this is not able to support human life in the same way as the North pole.
[v] At present the ecliptic (path of the Earth round the sun) is at an angle of 23 degrees to its pole. This is will reduce by 8 degrees to15. The authority for this statement is DK.
[vi] As KH goes on to say: the creation of new constellations through the changed angle of Earth’s poles will admit new energies to human and planetary consciousness.
[vii] KH hints at this in Letter XII.
[viii] The Zodiacal intelligences are known by those involved in high (white) magic but they have had no place in Western spirituality in modern times, although DK prepares the ground for this in Esoteric Astrology. As the constellations (Great Lives) send energy into our solar system, using the agency of the planets which then give to the sun, so through our own (small) lives, we distribute energy in accordance with our Zodiacal profile, and give to the sun of human consciousness and possibility.

Appendix
Question: How has it come to this spiritually parlous state of affairs?
Answer: The Hierarchy guides; it does not control.
There are many ways to the same place; and we were confident that, in time, some of the routes being taken out of the body of the teaching given by the Hierarchy would lead to the desired goal. This has ever been the way that the Hierarchy has worked with man.
The Hierarchy serves the goals that man has to achieve; it does not establish them. They come from the needs of the larger system.
The goal now is the raising of the vibrational level of man which will come from, and only from, the development of mental capacity.
In fact, each generation has given an extraordinary[1] response to the teachings. The early Theosophist reacted in a way that you could not imagine or understand today. But we have had to persist because men have to develop mentally and we had to hope that, eventually, the rabbit would come out of the hat, as you might say. But, by 2003, it was clear to us that this was not going to happen; mankind was not at the required level.
We do not talk about failure, and hope that you do not either, but the need to be at a certain level by a certain time brings a significant factor and new consideration into this situation. We had to review the situation and take action.
In truth, the vibrational rate is far too low: man is committing suicide and we cannot prevent it nor change the requirements laid upon him by the system of which he is a part. Mankind rises and falls together - for as long as there is a need to reincarnate. The weight of the mass must hold back the most advanced If man could be controlled there would be no point to him. We can only watch in great sorrow. We never envisioned a time when man himself would lose interest in the experiment of life on Earth.

---------------------------------
Question: Would K.H say something about the ownership/control of land immediately before and after 2012? Will we be obliged to fight bloody territorial wars?
G.H / UK
---------------------------------
Answer: There will be no warfare because no government will be involved. Your governments will remain in denial of the happenings up until the end. Know this but do not waste time in deploring or in trying to change this state of affairs. By their denial your governments will preserve law and order, which will enable those who are making arrangements to go about their affairs efficiently and unmolested.
Keeping law and order best contribution that your governments can make because there is no place in the events of 2012 for a mass survival strategies that will keep alive frightened, negative people who will then succumb to disease. They are better to die.
Those who do intend to survive will form themselves into a body that will work across national boundaries, quite independent of the state structures. Numbers of such people will be small. The Hierarchy estimates that around 0.07 per cent of the world’s population will make the choices and the arrangements that will ensure their survival
Survival will depend upon harmony and cooperation. Recognition of this will be a condition of inclusion, both in the group organising evacuation and in the post 2012 order.
KH / March 2005
---------------------------------
Question: As I read the Red Letters and especially Letter VIII, as my Sun is in Scorpio, I ponder the message contained herein—“help others understand the process of which they are part”. Perhaps it is easy for me, as I am a student of astrology, as well as the Ancient Wisdom, and can better understand the messages conveyed here in the language of astrology. But how to convey this message to others who, by and large, consider anything related to the field of astrology to be bogus. These are not ignorant or uncaring individuals, but people brought up in a world of materialism who believe in what they can perceive with their five senses. Many are devoted Christians who are apt to take a very skeptical view of any spiritual message in conflict with their religious beliefs. So how can I step down this information to a more practical level, where it can be received with some sense
of urgency and believing by those outside of the spiritual and astrological community?
B.R./ USA
---------------------------------
Answer: The personality thinks in terms of survival at any cost, but the perspectives of the personality are not suitable for preparing for the events of 2012.
Handle the knowingness that you have as you would an invitation, which was the way in which it was given to you.
First before issuing the invitation, the invitee considers the nature of the event and for whom it might be suitable but beyond that point he has no control. His invitation sets in motion a process that involves the recipient in receiving, considering, deciding and then acting upon the decision made. The recipient can decline at any stage in the process. If he cannot, then he is being coerced, not invited.
As I have said in reply to another question there is no place in the events of 2012 for coercion or mass survival strategies that will keep alive frightened, negative people who will then succumb to disease. They are better to die.
It is anticipated that no more that 0.07 per cent of the world’s population will receive and take up the invitation to survive the event of 2012. And that is as it has to be.

The Externalisation of the Hierarchy
Question: May I humbly inquire as to why plans for the reappearance of the Christ, and externalization of the Hierarchy (as described in the AAB books) were seemingly abandoned? I ask not in the expectation of humanity being "saved" from the coming events of 2012. But when the Christ, working through the Initiate Jesus, performed miracles of healing, and taught publicly, people listened and responded. Today, in the modern era, the Christ and Masters would not be limited to the comparatively small audience Jesus had due to local geography. Modern communication systems would allow the Christ and Hierarchy to reach people all over the world. I cannot believe their presence and teachings would be ignored by humanity. Whether the response would have been sufficient to alter present events is uncertain. But I am astonished that the attempt was not made by our
Hierarchy.
A.C.
USA
---------------------------------
Answer: I welcome this question, my brother, and although, at first, you will find my words hard to bear, with acceptance will come release from an unhelpful attachment. In asking this question publicly you are creating for others too the chance of liberation. For this reason I thank you. Much turns upon clearing up this misunderstanding, and so I do not address you alone but all who wait.
The Hierarchy has externalised itself. We have come quietly and quickly into the room whilst you have been intent upon another doorway.
Over a period of thirty years the Hierarchy has allowed its quality to be externalised through the identities who you call the Masters. This process was still on trial when the Master DK spoke of Externalisation through Alice Bailey; but now hundreds upon thousands of people know of the Lords of Sacrifice and how they serve humanity.
We do not perceive ourselves as you see us. We are Agnishvattas, an Intelligence. The Masters as you understand them are, to us, like hands, hands extended in friendship for men and women to reach and hold. A hand is simply a part of a body but those who can read a hand know that its quality externalises the inner being. We have shown our hands.
For what purpose have we done this? Why have we extended our hands? So that you can pull us down onto your level and have us entertain you with a spectacle that you could see on a film? What would be the purpose of that when the need is for you to learn to access our level?
We have externalised our quality through the Masters so that humankind can more readily interact with us and establish a working relationship with us. We are waiting for you to understand that the Externalisation of the Hierarchy is for the purposes of guiding awakened people who are willing to take responsibility and work on behalf of the evolution of human consciousness, not to offer miracles and displays to those who remain sunk in materialism. The days of that are long over.
What would it mean to you if the Hierarchy were to expend the unconscionable amount of energy that it would take to engage with the dense physical plane? You are surfeited with cinematic images of sights that defy logic. Mankind has long since lost the ability to distinguish between the true and the counterfeit. The miraculous means nothing to you. Within weeks the Masters would be commonplace and you would be looking for something else to excite you.
More impressive because they are so rare are acts of unstinting generosity, true kindness and wisdom between men. Let those acts bear witness to a higher reality.
The way to see us is through dedicated service because we recognise our own kind. Mankind has to grow up and use its head. You will see us then. My collaborator and I walk and talk together every morning at an hour which many call ungodly. My brothers, if you but knew!
There are amongst you now other modest, hard working people who have understood the nature of the invitation from the Hierarchy and are going about their business of service, guided and informed by their Masters. They are trying to show the way to others but mostly people look past them, in search of more exotic teachers who, whilst valuable time is passing, would keep them in a child-like state of dependence, fed on a diet of extravagant claims, promises and astral titillation.
What could we have achieved together had there been more people ready to work and fewer waiting to be thrilled like children promised a visit to one of your abominable circuses? How numerous are the solutions that we could have found in these years?
We have not forgotten you and the Christ will never forget His pledge to return but His place is the citadel of light in the human head and it is not yet ready. Where are the workers? They are standing expectantly at the door through which departed the Nazarene 2,000 years ago, broken by his efforts on behalf of the unbelievers. Are you so attached to spectacles that you would see this happen again?
No my friends, in the Aquarian Age, mankind helps itself. It is for you now to open the eyes of the unbelievers, by the example that you set in your own lives, by the knowledge that you have been given and by the sacrifices that you are able to make. This way you will also prepare the place for the Christ’s return.
The Hierarchy will come no closer but we watch and we wait and we send our messages of guidance and encouragement through those who have learned to talk with us.
Paul, the great epistle writer, was one who learned, and in his Letter to the Corinthians he said this:
When I was a child I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man I put childish things away.
I say to you now put childish things away now and prepare yourself to join forces with those who serve mankind. Now you see through a glass darkly but then face to face.

Preparing ourselves and our young children
Question: I just read the Red Letters. My heart (like Master KH says to hear them from the heart) tells me that there is reality and truth in every word written in them.
I would like to ask a question though.
There are no provisions in the introduction for parents like me to prepare ourselves as well as our young children for this event (mentally, spiritually, and physically). They (our children) are usually not fully conscious of making decisions as monumental as that, and we usually make the decisions for them (not always but most of the time).
Where do we start?
A.M
---------------------------------
Answer: My sister,
Do you not think that children have the knowingness of what must be? Do you not think they will enjoy the adventure?
Do not fill them with your own fears. Infants are in the Arien stage of life; they will run on ahead. Be strong for them and let them guide you in the choices that you have to make. They know more than you know. That statement may be taken two ways, and both meanings apply here.
Deal with the matter as you would any other: as it comes up and when the occasion requires. Permit your children take what they hear from you into the playground and circulate it in their own way. By this means awareness will be extended. There will be many adults who will come to hear of the developments of 2012 for the first time from their children, and others again who will throw off apathy and defeatism because of them.
There will be children playing on the eve of destruction and on the morning after! In that unquenchable spirit is the hope of mankind.
When you see the illustration now in preparation for the sign Aries*, place the image of your children on those steps, running towards the portal. In that scene you will find your answer and the inspiration for which you seek.
Share this with your sisters.

Duration and timing
Question: I'm trying to assess the viability of survival strategies for 2012 additional to that offered in the Introduction to the Red Letters. It seems implicit that the Earth's baptism will be of short duration if the animals and the vegetable kingdom are to survive. Would K.H tell us more about the duration and timing of the twin processes of Earth's axial realignment and the land's inundation by water? Will the inundation be from the sky or from the sea?
G.H
U.K.
---------------------------------
Answer: Earth is moving: it moves ceaselessly in space, spinning on its access and moving around the Sun. Man does not experience this movement directly but through its effects. So it will be with the axis shift of 2012. It is not how long it takes to for the Earth to change the angle of its axis that is of significance to man – he will not be aware of that whether it takes a minute, a day, or longer, but how long it takes him to adjust to the effects of this movement; and this will depend upon many things, not least how well prepared he is physically and spiritually.
Earth will continue to support life through this process and after it but intelligent life will have to find out how and where. Animals and birds will follow their instincts, man will have to organise himself around what he knows, organizing also the domestic animals and, to some degree, the vegetable kingdom.
For the Earth this is the start of a new cycle. All the geographical changes that occur will become features of that new cycle, as will the chain of reactions to those changes. It is not therefore a matter of either ‘from the sea or from the sky’: it will be both in different places at different times, although the seas will be the first to register the effects of the axis shift and the corresponding change in the moon’s orbital relationship with our planet.
The amount of time involved in the Earth’s cleansing and healing is too great for the human mind to grasp. The effect of it will be that assisting Earth will become part of the human experience and, in consequence, formative of human consciousness.
To view the events of 2012 as a disaster from which a familiar order will eventually re- emerge is quite inadequate. The present, familiar order will be gone for ever. Never again will man be able to take our planet for granted and to exploit its life forms in the way that he has done. The inability of so many to engage meaningfully with the realisation that the present order is about to be destroyed is a consequence of the presumptuous belief that nothing on this scale could possibly be allowed to happen to them.
Man’s immediate concern is to work out how to organise himself in the safe zones. With this the Hierarchy will help all we can but we have to tread very carefully and give out information with great circumspection because there is still time for selfish interests to spoil the opportunities for human life that exist in those places.

The dissolution of material things and pollution
Question: What will become of all the material things that humanity has created over the last 150 years? Will they dissolve in time? What about the nuclear plants and other toxic waste...if they are submerged in the oceans will the oceans be toxic...is this something that will have to dealt with? Will this event disrupt the satellites in the atmosphere?
M.B.
USA
---------------------------------
Answer: This is a useful question, my sister, both in itself and in the opportunity that it provides for me to make clear a point upon which at present there is much confusion.
What has been brought into being on the physical plane has to work itself out in time and in accordance with its quality. This is nature of the experience which Earth supports and 2012 will not change this.
Responsibility has never been a feature of satellite technology, still less nuclear processing, and is unlikely to enter the situation now to help lessen the devastating effect of the pollution and other dangers connected to the loss of control of aerial objects and nuclear installations. What will end with 2012, however, is the creation of new causes of this kind of contamination. This will leave Nature able to find her own solutions, uncompromised by the profit motive or the other considerations which have made men so wilfully blind to the consequences of what they are unleashing upon the environment and upon future generations.
This undeniably bleak picture of pollution and contamination post-2012 is the consequence of the outworking of man’s values and priorities of modern times, and not of the axis shift. The shift is a part of Earth’s evolution, an event foretold that could have occurred without the attendant man-made hazards, which are of a scale which makes it inevitable that they will kill as many people as the geographical changes themselves.
If you are clear about this distinction you will be able to understand how without being in any way the cause of the shift itself, man is creating the physical conditions with which he must then contend. Those who will see this will be able to understand much about free will and of the need to exercise choice responsibly and purposefully throughout their lives.
At the present time there are in incarnation three generations who should have been born into and brought up with this awareness, but because thinking has remained insistently self-centred and self-deceiving, only a very few individuals understand as yet that personal salvation is a contradiction in terms. The truth is that we are one with each other and one with the Earth.
As I have said elsewhere, never again will man be able to harm the environment in the way that he is doing at present because Earth will no longer support those who in their thinking cannot embrace the planet as a whole. Quite simply, their vibration will be too low.
Lessons learned late are often lesson learned hard but because of this they impress consciousness in ways that mean they are never forgotten. It is for this reason that 2012 represents the start of new era for mankind.
---------------------------------
Domestic animals
Question: I just wanted to add that I have pondered on the latest posting but really would like to have some more specific clues from KH on how to organize relations to the different domestic animals. Beside it is hard to imagine that fishing as a food source and even meat is something we can do without.
It is as if some "outside" help will be greatly needed if we should be able to set a new course in this, even if we take the initial steps ourselves. It seems we just have to trust this.
J.A.
Norway
---------------------------------
Answer: After 2012, mankind’s relationship with the animal kingdom will become more detached as, in the new era, the animals’ evolution will take them out of the Earth system. This does not mean that there will not be animals on Earth, nor that they will not be irresistibly attracted to man as a means of learning, but that the relationship will be based upon what man does not do to them i.e. what he leaves them free to do when he no longer eats their flesh or exploits them. And a human race with its heart centre open will do neither.
Then, man’s primary relationship will be with the vegetable kingdom which will feed him and which he will nurture. The evolution of the vegetable kingdom will accelerate as a result of this in ways that we have seen foreshadowed at Findhorn in Scotland.
As regards domestic animals in the context of 2012 you must do what you think best, bearing always in mind that there are few things that men can do for animals which they, obeying their instincts, cannot do for themselves.

The Religion of the Future
Question: In your introduction, under the Spirituality of Man, you tell us that the religion of the future will be based upon the recognition and reverence of the Intelligences residing in each of the twelve signs, and upon encouraging co-operation with them.
I am wondering whether there will be an Avatar for this new age, as before, at the start of the Piscean age, when the Lord Jesus laid down the Christian principles that became a religion for the past 2000 years. If guidance for this New Age does not come in the form of an Avatar, how then will we be made aware of this new religion? You have said before that there will not be a Savior as we must save ourselves, but will there be a teacher who leads the way?
B.R.
USA
---------------------------------
Answer: Mankind always has been provided with the teachers that it needs. This most necessary service undertaken by the Hierarchy has never failed; nor will it fail at any time in the future.
The teachers that you will need after 2012 will be with you then. You may depend upon it. Whether they will conform to what now you envision is another matter. Teachers meet the requirements of the time by expressing the aspect of Truth that serves it the best.
That so much of mankind feels bereft, vulnerable and distrustful is a consequence of an attachment to his impressions, often quite erroneous, of the kind of teachers who came to serve the needs of a different time. In this matter, as in all areas of life, men restrict themselves by their preconceptions and attachments, with the results that upon this most bounteous planet they will not believe that they have enough of what they need nor recognise and trust the voices that would guide them.
Many are now saying that when there are so many false teachers, it is difficult to know to whom to give attention; therefore they await some distant time when who are the true teachers will be a self-evident matter.
It is evident now, my brothers. Listen! It is all in the sound. Did you not learn by listening how to distinguish between your child’s cry of real need and the attention seeking grizzle; between the different sounds of the full and empty vessel? Often distrust, disenchantment and sentimental attachment are serving the part of self that does not want to have to commit to anything that might disrupt the familiar materialistic round. Men fail to hear what they fear to hear.
The teachers that you need now are amongst you now and their work is to prepare you mentally and to position yourselves physically in order to engage with those who are to come. The steps to the future are made from the substance of the present time.
My collaborator knows something of the arrangements and is at liberty to write about them outside of these Letters.
Suffice it to say here that after 2012 the teaching will be of two kinds. Man will be taught:
1.How to become responsible inhabitants of the planet and how to hear and to respond to the Earth’s needs.
2.The principles of the new religion.
The first will precede the other in time, and men will graduate from planetary service to understanding principles that, as they enlarge the capacity of their hearts and minds, will open the door to possibility. The teachers that are needed for each of these stages will be available at the appropriate time.

Accessing Knowledge
Question: The many experimental community projects, such as Findhorn, being conducted around the world and based on the philosophy of permaculture seem to indicate the way we all will live post 2012, but the subject is so vast - if studied down to a practical level - that no individual or small group can hope to master it. A wide distribution of specialist knowledge will force us to cooperate if we are to do more than simply survive, and each of us it seems must specialise in a different field in order to make a useful contribution to the whole. What worries me is that specialist knowledge of a vital and practical nature is still in relatively few hands. But assuming that that knowledge and co-operation will exist after
2012, how can the practice of permaculture help a vegetarian humanity in the lands above 65 degrees north where plant life is inhibited by an inhospitable environment? With less than eight years to go, what steps must we take to 'prepare the ground' for human habitation?

Answer: I welcome this question, my brother, both for itself and for the opportunity to deal with a wider matter that it creates for me at this time.
Firstly, I will deal with the content of the question.
Each of you who would live through the events of 2012 must become more familiar with the practice of distinguishing between what you can change and what you cannot change. At present there is much unrealistic thinking in this area. On the one hand there are those talking about trying to avert the events, and on the other there are those waiting for orders from some unspecified source. Neither of these extremes represents a suitable response.
It is for each person to clarify his intention and to take personal responsibility for his decision. The greater the number of individuals taking personal responsibility, then the greater the opportunity for humanity collectively. Eight years is not a long time if only a handful of people are actively involved in preparations for 2012, but each of you is a resource. If 100 people are actively involved then you have 8 years x 100; if 1,000 then the time available increases to 8 years x 1,000, and so on.
If you consider that there is a need for more knowledge to be made available, whether the subject area is permaculture or any other, take the responsibility to seek out that knowledge yourself, or directly assist another to find it. The knowledge exists to be found and such initiatives could be coordinated by this project.
The reason it is in the hands of so few is less to do with that knowledge being withheld, and more with the consequence of so few people being ready to accept responsibility. No matter how it may appear to you, the real problem is not lack of detailed knowledge but the lack of interest that is restricting its circulation. And it will remain deprived of its rightful value for as long as so many of those who are aware of 2012 are distracting themselves with foolish expectations of salvation or opportunities to escape from material reality. Such ideas do not come from the Hierarchy, my brothers. Why would we encourage you to find hope in mirages when the price of these fantasies is inertia and a lack of readiness? In the Age of
Aquarius man saves himself by what he knows.
Cooperation and organisation are features of Aquarian activity. There will be large areas of land in the more southerly latitudes capable of supplying food stuffs to those in the North to supplement the production achieved by the application of knowledge to this seemingly unpromising terrain. The Hierarchy will not yet release details about the southern locations because the necessary organisations are not in place. What are these ‘necessary organisations’? They are groupings of responsible, committed, clear- thinking individuals capable of acting in the common good and not simply their own selfish interests. As yet such individuals do not exist in numbers sufficient to make up the needed organisations.
This brings me to the second point that I would make on this occasion. One of the consequences of this lack of readiness is that, having conceived the idea of what has become known as the Red Letters project, the Hierarchy, in full awareness of what a serious burden upon their time and resources it would prove to be, had no choice but to place the new undertaking with people who were already carrying a weight of responsibility. As there was no help for it we did not waste time in regret, any more than those at the DK Foundation, upon whom the administration of this project has fallen, have wasted time in complaint. All true servers know that their own comfort is not a consideration. The fact remains, however, that those
involved in this project cannot be discharged from certain prior commitments, as important in their own way as this, and so it has been agreed amongst us that from September onwards they should be released from this undertaking for a period of some four months in order to attend to those duties. During this time there will be no further communications from me by means of this platform.
This four month period will create a useful intermission during which those who have read the communications to date can get over the inevitable initial shock and become more familiar with the content of the Red Letters.
In the New Year (2006) we will start Phase Two with, it is to be hoped, some more questions. Should there not be any suitable questions put forward for the New Year then Phase Two will be held up. To mask the lack of intelligent interest would serve no useful purpose. Better by far that we allow the true state of play to be seen and for that to deliver its own harsh message.
My brothers, this is not the time for soothing words but for throwing out challenges. Spirit has ever challenged form to yield up the highest of which it is capable. If it did not there would not be evolution, not of form itself nor of the indwelling consciousness. In service, KH

The Exteriorization of the Christ
Question: When you tell us about the secure places upper the 65° , and like in the north it coincide with the Artic Polar Circle, we must suppose in the south of the world it is similar and coincide with the Antarctic Polar Circle? (for to search the lands which can be secures); and in consideration to the work of the Hierarchy and the Christ, the success of 2012, in what changes the Plan for His exteriorization, and if this success can be stopped by an spiritual progress of the Humanity or it is irremediable. Thank you for your attention

Answer:
My brother,
There is no other location on Earth for the Christ but that provided by the hearts of men. The human heart is the place of the Second Coming, so long expected and so widely misunderstood by those who are delaying, awaiting the arrival of another saviour.
Those who incarnate into the Earth system after 2012 will have achieved their own salvation through their understanding that, born of the union of the Father with the Mother, of spirit with substance, Christ, the Son, is consciousness. His qualities are Love, Hope and Compassion. It is by making these qualities their own, men are preparing the place and bringing the Son to Earth to help make ready for the coming of the Father. It is for this that you are praying with the words: May Christ return to Earth.
By whatever name you call him, the Father is coming to establish himself in the citadel of the head, and man then will serve His purpose which is Will and Power. Yet His feet never will touch the Earth unless men make their own feet available to him. It is for this that humanity is now being prepared; this is the purpose that the events of 2012 will serve.
The Antarctic is not for conscious men, my brother. The life that it will support, for a time at least, will be the last desperate remnants of the old order. Leave it to them. There are other places in the southern hemisphere that will better support one whose heart is as open as your own You will be apprised of them at the right time.
