*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. *We
have a recognised cleavage to be bridged in the world today,
usually known as the cleavage between "East and West", but termed
more accurately between "Orient and Occident". Behind the
differences in culture, tradition, religion, ideology and social
customs, however, there is growing interchange of thought and
mental understanding. One powerful stimulation to this mental
rapport may be in an increasing tendency for the westerner to
cultivate the science of meditation long practiced in the East as
an essential part of religious and spiritual experience. In this
day and age, and as we move on into the mentally oriented age of
Aquarius, with increasing numbers of men and women transferring
from an emotional to a mental focus, the science of meditation as a
mind training technique in concentration and invocation will become
increasingly practiced in the West. However, there are deeper and
more profound areas of life and consciousness to be penetrated and
revealed in meditation. Meditation, in the occult sense, is not
only a training technique for the mind, but a means of achieving
alignment, union and identification with the soul, with the Christ,
and ultimately with "the Father". As distinct from the experience
of mystical union, occult meditation establishes a scientific
process by which causes set in motion will produce identifiable
effects, which can be repeated at will. This is a technique to be
mastered by the mind; it involves intense mental activity followed
by an absolute stillness, with the ability so to control and order
the mind that it engages in action or becomes stilled to
"reflection" at will. The first purpose of this form of meditation
is the conscious integration of soul and personality, so that the
livingness of the soul may impress and influence the quality of the
personality life. This draws a man steadily into that centre of
consciousness within the planet we call the spiritual Hierarchy,
the Kingdom of God; the spiritual Man then assumes control, and the
divine potential is unfolded. Since we are dealing in meditation
with energy flow which is literally fiery and impersonal, there are
pitfalls and dangers to be understood and avoided; these, too, are
discussed. And also the colours and sounds corresponding to the
various ray energies which, occultly speaking, are vibrations of
different frequencies. In looking towards the future, the author
predicts the growing influence of the science of meditation,
leading eventually to the establishing of schools of meditation
under the guidance and instruction of initiated disciples. These
schools will be of two kinds: one, preparatory; and the other
actually training the student for initiation. The ultimate
objective of these comprehensive training schools will be to
provide qualified disciples for planetary service. In all training
work inspired by Hierarchy the motif is service - the spontaneous
effect of soul contact in the selflessly motivated disciple. "The
motive may be epitomised in these few words: The sacrifice of the
personal self for the good of the One Self. The method may also be
shortly put: Wise control of the personality, and discrimination in
work and time. The resultant attitude will be: Complete dispassion,
and a growing love of the unseen and the real. All this will be
consummated through steady application to occult Meditation."
