- Throughout the whole of this series of books runs a single thread
uniting various aspects of life and specialised activities within
the Plan for man. This is the thread of consciousness, evolving in
man through the efforts of the soul to contact and control its
personality equipment; and evolving within the planet as the centre
Hierarchy becomes increasingly able to impress the Plan on the
minds of men. This book, therefore, contains Fifteen Rules for
Magic, and for soul control, based on these words in the
Bhagavad-Gita: "Though I am Unborn, the Soul that passes not away,
though I am the Lord of Being, yet as Lord over My nature I become
manifest, through the magical power of the Soul." The soul
unmanifest in its essential being, manifest through the nature of
its personality equipment, is always a source of mystery. It evades
the analytical concrete mind; it reveals its true self to the
illumined mind fused with the open heart, seeking not to grasp and
to hold for personal progress, but to wield the magical power in
service. The power of the soul is always available to the one who
seeks, as an aspirant to accepted discipleship, to become of
practical service in his own peculiar times, state and environment.
The teaching in this book is based on four fundamental postulates
which will: 1. Teach the laws of spiritual psychology as
distinguished from mental and emotional psychology. 2. Make clear
the nature of the soul of man and its systemic and cosmic
relationships. This will include its group relationship as a
preliminary step. 3. Demonstrate the relations between the self and
the sheaths which that self may use, and thus clarify thought as to
the constitution of man. 4. Elucidate the problem of supernormal
powers and give the rules for their safe and useful development.
Through these underlying postulates runs the theme of energy, of
the one informing life as a centre of energy, pervading and uniting
all within the divine flow. Man is essentially and inherently
divine; and the soul, the centre of consciousness, the result of
the pervasive union of Spirit with matter, is the means whereby man
evolves a consciousness of divinity and unity, redeems the gross
matter of his vehicles and liberates the pure flame of life energy
from the limitation of form. The soul is the vital link, therefore,
between God and man. The book closes with a rousing call to the
soul in all aspirants: "I close with an appeal to all who read
these instructions, to rally their forces, to renew their vows of
dedication to the service of humanity, to subordinate their own
ideas and wishes to the group good, to take their eyes off
themselves and fix them anew upon the vision...Let all students
make up their minds in this day of emergency and of opportunity to
sacrifice all they have to the helping of humanity...I call upon
all of you to join the strenuous efforts of the Great Ones." The
books of Alice A. Bailey, written in cooperation with a Tibetan
teacher between 1919-1949, constitute a continuation of the Ageless
Wisdom--a body of esoteric teaching handed down from ancient times
in a form which is always suitable to each period. Intended to
precede and condition the coming era, the Alice A. Bailey writings
offer an unparalleled spiritual approach to such subjects as the
teaching on Shamballa and the Path of spiritual evolution; the
spiritual Hierarchy; the new discipleship and training in
meditation as a form of service; the teaching on the seven rays and
the new psychology of the soul; the teaching on esoteric astrology;
and the new world religion, which emphasizes the common thread of
truth linking all the major world faiths.
