"Four problems will be solved in the next two centuries…

1. The problem of territorial possessions, which is the group
correspondence with the family of nations to the materiality of
the individual.

2. The problem of sex, which will involve a truer understanding of the law
of attraction.

3. The problem of death, which is in reality the problem of the relation
between the subjective and the objective, between the tangible and the
intangible, and between life and form. This problem will be solved in the
realm of psychology by scientific recognition of the true nature of the
individual or soul and of the persona.

4. The problem of the Jews, which is symbolically the problem of humanity
as a whole. It is today for the first time definitely a humanitarian problem
and one, which is closely tied up with the fourth kingdom in nature because
that kingdom is the meeting-place of the three divine aspects. The Jew, with
his emphasis upon his position as one of the "chosen people," has stood
symbolically throughout the centuries as the representative of the wandering,
incarnating soul, but the Jewish people have never recognised the symbolic
mission with which their race was entrusted, and they have taken to themselves
the glory and the honour of the Lord's elect. The Jew made this mistake and,
as an Oriental race, the Jews have failed to hold before the Orient the divine
nature of mankind as a whole, for all are equally divine and all are the Lord's
elect. Calvin and all who followed before the people of the Occident the realization
that those who recognised their essential divinity did so symbolically on behalf of
all the developing, incarnating sons of God, they regarded themselves as the
Chosen People and all who did not think as they did are regarded as lost. When
the Jew and the narrow-minded religious devotees recognise their identity with
all other people and express this identity through right relationship, we shall see
a very different world. The world problem is essentially a religious problem and
behind all strife in every department of world thought today is to be found the
religious element."
