*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. Five
volumes have been written under the overall title of "A Treatise on
the Seven Rays". This sequence of books is based on the fact, the
nature and the quality of the seven basic streams of energy
pervading our solar system, our planet and all that lives and moves
within its orbit. Of the specialised subjects presented in these
books, two volumes are concerned with esoteric psychology - the
first in relation to basic energy patterns and structures; the
second particularly applied to the soul and the personality of man
and to the working out of the Plan for humanity. Psychology is
defined in Webster's Dictionary as "the science of mind", at one
time considered a branch of metaphysics. Today we are more inclined
to include all the conditioning subjective factors as psychological
in nature - mental and emotional impulses and soul contact, to
whatever degree it exists. These subjective influences constitute
the whole psychological background to a man's attitudes and
behaviour, and create the faculty of spiritual response. The
"psyche" is, after all, the human soul, the centre of
consciousness. Esoteric psychology begins with a consideration of
the human being as a soul, manifesting in the form of a
personality, consisting of mental, emotional and etheric/physical
substance, and more or less in contact and control, depending on
the stage of evolution in the personality consciousness. From the
point of view of esoteric psychology, evolution is the evolution of
consciousness, by which the imbedded fragment of the soul within
the personality progressively identifies its spiritual source and
becomes at-one with it. The seven differentiated streams of ray
energy play a significant role in this evolutionary process. A
blend of five energies in a human being determine his goals, his
problems, his available qualities and energy resources, and the
correct method by which - according to his dominant ray influence -
he may unfold his consciousness and make spiritual progress. In
this volume of Esoteric Psychology many of these distinctive ray
qualities and methods are given as quotations, or interpretations,
of "The Old Commentary" put into poetic and symbolic words. The
seven rays are shown as the Seven Creative Builders, each one
imbued with purpose and power, functioning together as a synthesis
in occult obedience to the purposes of our Solar Logos. Such a
detailed and comprehensive study of the ray energies influencing
our planetary life and all kingdoms in nature is of inestimable
value to the aspirant consciously preparing himself to become of
planetary service as he learns to serve and to unite with his
fellowmen.
