- It is an established and accepted occult fact that the soul works
through the mechanism of the three-fold personality in stimulating
the three worlds of human evolution - the mental, the emotional and
etheric/physical planes of consciousness. In this book the method
by which the soul and the personality vehicles interact and
function together is clearly presented. The author also reveals the
relationship between what the occultist accepts in the constitution
of man as the vital body, the etheric network with its energy
vortices, or centres, and the physiological effects on the body
through glandular secretions directly into the bloodstream. This is
the endocrine system of glands, which correspond in the physical
body to the energy centres in the etheric body and which,
therefore, react to the type and potency of force the etheric body
circulates at any one time. Human behaviour, and the disposition of
the physical body, are conditioned by the extent to which the
personality vehicles either receive or reject the impulses of the
soul; and this is conditioned by the emphasis or focus of
consciousness at any one time. The physical vehicle is not a
principle; it responds to any dominant force expressing itself
through the etheric system of energy centres. A highly emotional
condition, for example, in which the solar plexus energy centre in
the vital body is overstimulated, powerfully affecting its physical
counterpart, the pancreas gland, produces an oversecretion of the
gland and a consequent general imbalance within the personality. It
is obvious that in a highly evolved man, the personality vehicles
are aligned, the etheric body vital and balanced, and the energy
centres controlling the physical body receptive to the influence of
the soul through the mechanism of the integrated personality. But
until this condition is created in consciousness, the mechanism of
response is more or less isolated in its personality glamours. It
is said that the aspirant to discipleship really needs to know only
two things: the constitution of man and the next step ahead. In
this book the way the human constitution actually functions in its
component parts is made abundantly clear. It is an accepted goal
for the aspirant that he learns to make of his personality
equipment an instrument for the soul to use. Knowledge of the
relation between the subtle and the dense bodies, the etheric
centres and the physical glands, energy and force, the soul and its
personality mechanism, can lift the process out of the vague haze
which normally surrounds it, giving to it the clarity and precision
of a scientific formula. Not only, however, is this a matter of
form and energy, the whole man is involved in the process and in
the effects - psychologically, philosophically and spiritually; for
energy flows as the result of thought, and the quality, nature and
potency of thought is a matter of consciousness, which includes the
whole way of living. Where the normal focus of consciousness is in
daily life, there will be found the energy centre controlling the
mechanism of response. 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.
