We need not trouble now any further about the Sixth Root-Race; for whatever builds the sixth sub-race amongst us is contributing to the building of that Root-Race of the future.

The same faculties are demanded, although then at a higher level, and we can come down to our humbler level and consider what the sixth sub-race is to be.

And in that we shall realise the work and the future of the Theosophical Society.
The great characteristic of that Race is to be union, and all that tends to union is a force which is working for the coming of that sub-race, no matter whether very often the force looked at from without is often repellent.

It is not the outer manifestation of the moment, but the tendency, the direction of the force which is important.

There may be many things, more beautiful on the surface, which have accomplished their aim, and are on the downward path towards decay, whilst the things that are rising, still below the horizon, have, as all germinal things have, much about them that is repellent and that will be used up in the growth of the coming creature, before it really manifests upon earth.
