*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.
*World problems are increasing in complexity as the population of
the world increases, and as nations become inter-related and
interdependent. It is important for the future of mankind that we
understand and cooperate with the spiritual laws and forces at work
within the interwoven structure of civilisation, so that the
individual part - human and national - can be rightly related to
the evolving whole. A nation is subject, as a man is, to the impact
of energies emanating from solar and cosmic sources. These energies
influence the nation as a whole through the "mechanism of response"
equivalent to the Monad-soul-personality constitution of a man.
Different nations are more receptive to some energies that to
others; and all nations, subject to the evolution of national
consciousness, have a destiny before them which is literally based
on the qualities and the principles of the particular ray energy
seeking expression through the national soul. In this book the ray
energies affecting certain nations, world groupings and major
cities are analysed in relation to meaning and purpose, and to the
emergence of ideas appropriate to energy influences dominant at the
end and at the beginning of an age. The world of humanity is shown
as a state of becoming, guided and given opportunity by the
spiritual Hierarchy - the inner government of the planet - from a
stable state fo Being. The understanding, acceptance and
fulfillment of spiritual possibilities weaves the destinies of all
peoples together into a synthesis, in which each contributes to the
whole the unfoldment of individual potential. A recognition of the
soul destiny of nations in the light of the teaching in this book,
has a practicality today in our search for international
adjustments. The ray qualities affecting the peoples of the world
can be used intelligently to promote understanding and unity. We
are given a glimpse in this book of the beauty of energy synthesis
when all component parts work together according to their own ray
combination and the "the glory of the One". "The future will see
right relationships, true communion, a sharing of all things ...and
goodwill; we have also a picture of the future of humanity when all
nations are united in complete understanding and the diversity of
languages - symbolic of differing traditions, cultures,
civilisations and points of view - will provide no barrier to right
human relations. At the centre of each of these two pictures is to
be found the Christ."
