The Retrogressors

I have talked often on this  blog and Thoughtline about what I have been calling the Forces of Retrogression. Long ago,I hooked these Retros up, that is I identified them as Human Units of Consciousness who refused to leave the intelligent and material accomplishments of the first Incarnation of our Planet and take up the way of the heart. "Certain units of humanity--then existent--were so completely conditioned by these material principles and so deliberately unready for moving on to the comprehension of another set of principles (more expressive of the divine nature) that they remained of "fixed and selfish material purpose" and a planned distortion of the divine will was intelligently created by them." 7R5 p.351

I know that to many of our sisters and brothers the above comment, just in terms of time, will sound weird to say the least. This has always been one of the problems of the Ancient or "esoteric" Teachings". Initially, the Teachers were dealing with humans who were infants in terms of the development of consciousness and the physics of the energy fields that manifest the dense physical planes let alone the higher dimensions of the multidimensional Cosmos. For example they had no idea why it rained or snowed. The knowledge of how and why weather worked chemically and temperature wise was esoteric knowledge. It was way out of reach of their present physical, emotional, and practically non-existent mental equipment to understand. 

Esoteric knowledge concerns the Physics of the multidimensional, inexhaustible, energies  of Infinity.  Esoteric does not mean stuff that is hidden from us. It means stuff about which we currently know nothing, or not enough to keep from killing ourselves by messing around with. Probably 80% of what an educated 18 year old knows was esoteric in Galileo's time. The knowledge of how to make an atom bomb used to be esoteric. Whether we have gained enough wisdom to keep from blowing the whole place to kingdom come or not is what the current struggle with the Retrogressors is basically about. 

Any way what I wanted to share in this blog was some data re. the the motivation, the goals and objectives that drive the thought life and hence the energy of the Retrogressors, who have been the fly in our ointment for a very, very long time. So, regarding the present rather insane, if Trump is an example, ragtag, edition of the Retrrogressors, here is just a short quotation from what D.K. had to say about their ancient and modern goals, and objectives.

This was released in roughly 1947 or so.

Problems of Humanity P.70-73
First of all, it must be recognized that the cause of all world unrest, of the world wars which have wrecked humanity and the widespread misery upon our planet can largely be attributed to a selfish group with materialistic purposes who have for centuries exploited the masses and used the labor of mankind for their selfish ends. From the feudal barons of Europe and Great Britain in the Middle Ages through the powerful business groups of the Victorian era to the handful of capitalists—national and international—who today control the world's resources, the capitalistic system has emerged and has wrecked the world. This group of capitalists has cornered and exploited the world's resources and the staples required for civilized living; they have been able to do this because they have owned and controlled the world's wealth through their interlocking directorates and have retained it in their own hands. They have made possible the vast differences existing between the very rich and the very poor; they love money and the power which money gives; they have stood behind governments and politicians; they have controlled the electorate; they have made possible the narrow nationalistic aims of selfish politics; they have financed the world businesses and controlled oil, coal, [Page 71] power, light and transportation; they control publicly or sub rosa the world's banking accounts.


The responsibility for the widespread misery to be found today in every country in the world lies predominantly at the door of certain major interrelated groups of business-men, bankers, executives of international cartels, monopolies, trusts and organizations and directors of huge corporations who work for corporate or personal gain. They are not interested in benefiting the public except in so far that the public demand for better living conditions will enable them—under the Law of Supply and Demand—to provide the goods, the transportation, light and power which will in the long run bring in heavier financial returns. Exploitation of man-power, the manipulation of the major planetary resources and the promotion of war for private or business profit are characteristic of their methods.

Any of this sound familiar?
