he Hierarchy seeks to provide fit conditions for the development of self-consciousness in all beings.  This it produces primarily in man through its initial work of blending the higher three aspects of spirit with the lower four; through the example it sets of service, sacrifice, and renunciation, and through the constant streams of light (occultly understood) which emanate from it.  The Hierarchy might be considered as the aggregate on our planet of the forces of the fifth kingdom in nature.  This kingdom is entered through the full development and control of the fifth principle of mind, and its transmutation into wisdom, which is literally the intelligence applied to all states through the full conscious utilisation of the faculty of discriminative love.
