It is
Mankind as a whole,
collective humanity, which is called upon to perform the definitive act whereby the total force
of terrestrial evolution will be released and flourish; an act in which the full consciousness
of each individual man will be sustained by that
of every other man, not only the
living but the dead.
c Finally, it is through the medium
of education that there ensues, directly and indirectly, the gradual incorporation
of the World in the Word Incarnate: indirectly, in the degree in which the heart
of a
collective Mankind increasingly turned inward upon itself is made ready for this high transformation; directly, to the extent that the tide
of Grace historically released by Jesus Christ is propagated only by being borne on a
living tradition.
