Table of contents

Bailey, pp. According to the Lucis Trust website, the Baileys founded a quarterly magazine of esoteric philosophy entitled The Beacon in In , with the help of Foster Bailey, Alice Bailey also founded the Arcane School also part of Lucis Trust , which gave and still gives a series of correspondence courses based on her heterodox version of Theosophy, which accepted the basic Theosophical views on karma , reincarnation, masters, a divine plan, and humanity's achievement of their original divine status Bailey, pp.

The Lucis Trust website and Alice Bailey's autobiography also state that, together with Foster Bailey, she created the "World Goodwill" organization to promote what she called "Love in Action". About of Alice Bailey's public talks and private talks to her more advanced Arcane School students are available online. Formerly the school was structured in a series of degrees similar to Freemasonry and its early structure can be compared with the ceremonials of the Rosicrucian Order Crotona Fellowship.

Theosophists are divided on their assessment of Alice Bailey's writings. For instance, the noted contemporary Theosophical writer Geoffrey Hodson wrote a highly favorable review of one her books, saying, "Once more Alice Bailey has placed occult students in her debt. Soon, however, her claims to be recipient of ageless wisdom from the Masters met with opposition.

Below the surface was a hidden controversy regarding Alice's work with the Tibetan. Campbell writes that Bailey's books are a reworking of major Theosophical themes, with some distinctive emphases, and that they present a comprehensive system of esoteric science and occult philosophy, cognizant of contemporary social and political developments.

Sutcliffe points out that both Bailey and Blavatsky's work evoke a picture of Tibet as the spiritual home of the Masters and that Bailey claimed a more-or-less direct lineage to Blavatsky. He describes Bailey as a 'post-Theosophical' theorist, reporting that Bailey received instruction from "former personal pupils of Blavatsky", and notes that her third book A Treatise on Cosmic Fire not only reproduces Blavatsky's apocryphal Stanzas of Dzyan , but is dedicated to Blavatsky, as well.

Bailey inherited from Blavatsky and Leadbeater a predilection for profuse details and complex classificatory schemes. Her books have also introduced shifts in emphasis as well as new doctrinal elements. In contrast to the above, some Theosophical critics have contended that there are major differences between Bailey's ideas and the Theosophy of Blavatsky, such as Bailey's embrace of some mystical Christian terms and concepts and her acceptance of C.

Nicholas Weeks, writing for the Theosophical magazine Fohat in , felt Bailey's assertion that " This contrasts with the Theosophy of Blavatsky, he says, which emphasizes reliance on "the Christos principle within each person". The Blavatskian theosophists. Some critics and often followers of the so-called Blavatskian theosophy on Atma-Vidya refer to the following quotes. The theosophical Master K. Blavatsky to say: "the Salvation Army by hypnotizing people and making them psychically drunk with excitement, is Black Magic".

Blavatsky stated in contrast with Alice A. Therefore, there will always be an abyss between the East and the West, as long as neither of these dogmas yields. Bailey wrote: "We have fought over the historical Christ, and thus fighting, have lost sight of His message of love to all beings.

Fanatics quarrel over His words, and fail to remember that He was 'the Word made flesh. Bailey wrote: "They will prepare and work for conditions in the world in which Christ can move freely among men, in bodily Presence; He need not then remain in His present retreat in Central Asia.

Another principle of Theosophy, the Law of Attraction was discussed in esoteric writings by Blavatsky, [55] Annie Besant , [56] William Quan Judge , [57] and others; [58] [59] and was also discussed in the writings of Alice Bailey, including a whole chapter in one of her books. Underlying her writings is the idea that all is energy and that spirit, matter, and the psychic forces intermediate between them are forms of energy. On a microcosmic level they are the creative forces conditioning the physical, psychic, and spiritual constitution of man.

Jurriaance, p. In Esoteric Psychology I , the first book of A Treatise on the Seven Rays , Bailey writes that the "one Life sought expansion" resulting in seven aeons, or emanations, manifesting in the expression of life, becoming the "seven Rishis of all the ancient scriptures.

She enumerates these seven as: [67]. Although described as "Lords" and "persons", Bailey states that these "great forces" are not to be understood in terms of human personality. She also cautions that any description of such things must be couched in terms of our particular planet, such that humanity can understand it, but that these "pure Being[s] In Bailey's concept the rays and all things manifest in centers of energy and their relationships. The concept of the seven rays can also be found in Theosophical works.

In line with previous Theosophical teachings, [73] Bailey taught that man consists of a soul of abstract mental material, working through a personality —a technical term used to describe the physical, emotional, and less-abstract mental bodies considered holistically. There is also the etheric body which directly corresponds to the physical but is the vital energizing agent for the whole of a man in all his forms of expression. These auric aspects of the human being are defined as partial emanations or expressions of the soul, which is itself synonymous with the evolving human consciousness.

The mind is not conceived to be simply an ephemeral brain effect, but as the motivating energy responsible for the inner constitution of individuals, and which also manifest as the aura. In Bailey's writings, evolution is defined as the process of bringing the "lower nature" his physical, emotional, and mental selves into integration and alignment with the will of the soul—the "at-one-ment" of the personality.

Discrete steps on the spiritual path are called initiations , which is to say that the evolving consciousness is entering into new and wider fields of awareness, relationships, responsibilities, and power. Bailey wrote that behind all human evolution stands a brotherhood of enlightened souls who have guided and aided humanity throughout history.

She believed that the stimulating and uplifting influences of religions, philosophies, sciences, educational movements, and human culture in general are the result of this relationship, [82] and though in time humanity debases all these developments, they are all in their original impetus conceived as the result of the Spiritual Hierarchy working in concert with evolving human potentials.

Bailey associated the spiritual hierarchy and its branches with the system of Sirius , the planet Venus , and the mythical land of Shambhala which she spelled "Shamballa" , the residence of Sanat Kumara , "Lord of the World". Bailey wrote, "The energy of Sirius by-passes to use a modern word Shamballa and is focused in the Hierarchy. In the Alice A. Bailey material , she asserts that World War II was a cosmic conflict between good and evil.

Bailey refers to simply as Christ , to inaugurate the New Age. In January , Bailey prophesied that since, according to her view, " Krishnamurti had rejected being overshadowed ", Christ the name she used in her writings to refer to Maitreya would return himself by manifesting a physical body of his own on the physical plane " sometime after AD ", [90] and that this would be the New Age equivalent of the Christian concept of the Second Coming of Christ. She further stated that St. Germain referred to as the Master Rakoczi or the Master R.

According to Bailey, when Christ returns, he will stay the entire approximately 2, year period of the Age of Aquarius, and thus the New Age equivalent of the Millennial Age will not be just a single millennium but will be the Aquarian bimillennium. In August , Bailey prophesied that Christ would return in an airplane from " the place on Earth where He has been for many generations " and that after doing so, he would appear on worldwide television.

The mantra begins with "From the point of Light within the Mind of God, let light stream forth into the minds of men. It is well known by some followers of the New Age movement, where it is used as part of meditation, particularly in groups. The invocation has been used in the Findhorn Foundation community since the s. In response to the September 11, terrorist attacks , the Great Invocation was used as a central element of a new daily program at Findhorn known as the "Network of Light meditations for peace".

Rosemary Keller described the Great Invocation as a call for "the Christ to return to Earth" and wrote that Bailey-related groups purchased radio and television time to broadcast the invocation as part of their mission, and that often the invocation was recited in what Keller called "light groups", to accomplish what Bailey's disciples considered to be attracting and focusing "spiritual energies to benefit the planet".

According to Newman, "the Plan" named in the invocation refers to the plan authored by "the Hierarchy", that Newman states places "high priority on removing all Jewish presence and influence from human consciousness, a goal to be achieved by eliminating Judaism. Bailey elaborated the relation of humanity to the Hierarchy in her teaching on Discipleship in the New Age.

A disciple is an accepted student, or chela , in the spiritual ashram of a Master. In this scheme, all awakening souls stand in some relationship—for a long time unconsciously, but eventually in full conscious awareness—to some particular Master. Bailey's writing downplayed the traditional devotional and aspirational aspects of the spiritual life, in favor of serving "the Plan of the Hierarchy" by serving humanity. Disciples will never gain such powers or awareness unless and until they will be used solely for unselfish service.

Underlying Alice Bailey's writing is the central concepts of unity and divinity. Although she often identified groups of people by their race, nationality, or religion, she said the key matter was not race or religion per se, but the evolution of consciousness that transcends these labels.

Ross describes Bailey's teachings as emphasizing the "underlying unity of all forms of life", and the "essential oneness of all religions, of all departments of science, and of all the philosophies. Alice Bailey wrote strongly against all forms of fanaticism and intolerance. Bailey pp.

Bailey indicated that these problems were found mostly in the older generations, that their fanaticism would limit their personal growth and that they would mostly find a solution for that limitation through devotion, and the forward movement of spiritual evolution. Bailey upheld theories of racial differentiation that posited a division of humanity into races that are on different levels in a "ladder of evolution". These 'races' do not represent a national or physical type, but a state of evolution. For example, she states that the Aryan root race or '5th race' , as an "emerging new race", are the most recently evolved people on Earth, although the term ' Aryan ' as used by her has a quite distinct meaning from the separative and racist use of the word.

It refers not only to Caucasian peoples, but to origins in Indo-Persia, and indicates a culture where thought and intellect is dominant. In her book Education in the New Age , Bailey made predictions about the use of occult racial theories in the schools of the future, which she said would be based on the idea of ' root races ' originally vast prehistoric spans of time covering thousands of years when a particular human facet was being developed such as Lemurians physically adept , Atlanteans emotionally adept , Aryans mentally adept , and the New Race with "group qualities and consciousness and idealistic vision.

In her The Destiny of the Nations , Bailey described a process by which this "new race" will evolve, after which "low grade human bodies will disappear, causing a general shift in the racial types toward a higher standard. Her writings were criticized by Victor Shnirelman, a cultural anthropologist and ethnographer , who in a survey of modern Neopaganism in Russia, drew particular attention to "… groups [that] take an extremely negative view of multi-culturalism, object to the 'mixture' of kinds, [and] support isolationism and the prohibition of immigration.

Bailey stated that the Negro race contains a large number of "child souls", leading lives of "physical activity motivated by the desire for satisfaction of some kind, and by a shallow "wish-life" or desire nature, and almost entirely oriented towards the physical life. She described Negro people as "creative, artistic and capable of the highest mental development when taught and trained — as capable as is the white man;" and she emphasized the need for the white races to accord the Negro "the respect and the opportunity which is due him", stating that "The future peace of the world depends today upon enlightened, farseeing statesmanship and an appreciation of the fact that God has made all men free.

She wrote that what she described as "the Negro Problem" is divided into two areas: "the problem of the future of the African Negro and the problem of the future of the Negro in the western hemisphere. Bailey considered the indigenous people of Africa to be in the "embryonic stage" of evolutionary development, and wrote that, "Behind the many separative religious cults of that dark land, there emerges a fundamental and pure mysticism, ranging all the way from nature worship and a primitive animism to a deep occult knowledge and an esoteric understanding which may some day make Africa the seat of the purest form of occult teaching and living.

Regarding the relations between the Negro race and other races in the Western Hemisphere, Bailey wrote that it "constitutes a very ugly story, seriously implicates the white man and provides an outstanding disgrace", and that "The white people face a grave responsibility and it lies in their hands to change conditions.

Bailey wrote much about the Jewish people , referring to them collectively as a race, with group karma , characteristics, and behaviors. Specifically, she was of the opinion that Jews embody the characteristics of "materialism, cruelty and a spiritual conservatism" and the "separative, selfish, lower concrete mind. Bailey described Jews as "the most reactionary and conservative race in the world", explaining this as a result of their need to preserve their cultural identity as a wandering people under persecution.

She wrote that, "People complain and it is frequently true the Jews lower the atmosphere of any district in which they reside. They hang their bedding and their clothing out of the windows. They live on the streets, sitting in groups on the sidewalks. She wrote that Jews "take what they want, to see to it that their children get the best of everything available, no matter what the cost to others"; they "blame the non-Jewish nations for their miseries"; and, "The Jew needs to recognize his share in bringing about the dislike which hounds him everywhere. She stated that even though the Jews are "possessed of great wealth and influence", they create "dissension among the nations" and "almost abusive, demands for the Gentile to shoulder the entire blame and end the difficulty.

Bailey said that what she called the "Jewish problem" [] [] was the result of negative karma accumulated by the Jews due to "acts and deeds there claimed by him as his racial acts and deeds conquest, terrorism and cruelty This he [the Jew] does not yet do, speaking racially. Before World War II, she wrote: "The major racial problem has, for many centuries, been the Jewish, which has been brought to a critical point by Germany In , as World War II began, Bailey wrote that "the Jewish problem, is definitely producing cleavage as a part of the divine plan In , after the war and the Holocaust , she wrote that "there are eighty percent of other people in the concentration camps, only twenty percent Jews", and that Jews have not only repudiated the Messiah , but they have forgotten their unique relation to humanity.

Bailey also wrote critically about hatred of the Jews and predicted a future in which Jews would "fuse and blend with the rest of mankind. Bailey further stated that the Jews were themselves responsible for the bad treatment they received, "Changed inner attitudes are needed on both sides, but very largely on the side of the Jews.

Bailey wrote regarding interracial marriage that "the best and soundest thinkers in both the white and black races at this time deplore mixed marriages. They mean no happiness for either party.

She wrote that "children of mixed race , as well as the half-castes and the Eurasians may be the answer to a large part of the problem. There will be hundreds of thousands of these children of mixed parentage, forming part of the world population in the next generation and immediate cycle and they are a group with which we will have to reckon. While she believed that intermarriage would not solve what she called "the Negro problem," [] she implied this might change and on this issue, "I make no prophecy about the future.

Her comments on the topic of interracial marriage are conflicting: On the one hand she suggested that mixed marriages have unhappy effects, on the other hand she seemed to view them as positive and contributing to the solution of racial tensions.
