embers of the human family who were willing to undergo the necessary discipline and to make the required stupendous effort, to enter the fifth or spiritual kingdom. in this way the ranks of the hierarchy could be filled by the members of earth's humanity who qualified. this door is called the portal of initiation, and still remains open upon the same terms as laid down by the lord of the world in atlantean days. these terms will be stated in the last chapter of this book. the door between the human and animal kingdoms will again be opened during the next great cycle, or "round" as it is called in some books, but as this is several million years away from us at this time, we are not concerned with it. 3. it was also decided to make the line of demarcation between the two forces of matter an

ers of too violent fluctuation between land and water, or between the emotional response to life and truth or life on the physical plane. some aspirants are too emotional in their reactions; others too materialistic. the effect of this is felt in the midway spot and produces a violent instability. this instability has a direct effect on the solar plexus centre which was the "midway spot" in early atlantean times, and is still the midway point in the transmutation processes of the aspiring personality. it transmutes and transmits the energies of the sacral centre and of the centre at the base of the spine, and is the clearing house for all energies focussed in the centres below the diaphragm. the dangers incident to a premature and uncontrolled pouring in of pure spiritual energy to the mec

entality of a moment, but it lies at the root of man's cruelty to animals. it is but the inevitable karma of the animal kingdom working out. the question must be viewed from a larger scale than has hitherto been the case, and its true historic values must be better understood before man can intelligently decide what constitutes his problem of responsibility and how it should be met and solved. in atlantean days the purely physical relation was tempered by an astral or emotional relation, and the time came when some of the animals were swept within the orbit of human life and were tamed and cared for, and when the first of the domestic animals appeared. a new era began, wherein certain of the animals evoked affection from certain humans, and a new influence was brought to play upon this thi

he presence and the mental man. it is this deep-seated, though oft unrecognised, interplay and cultivated intercourse, which produces the at-one-ment between the soul and its mechanism, man in the three worlds. from the angle of these three ray influences, we have (in the life of the aspirant) a recapitulation of the triple process which we could call the "processes of unfoldment of the lemurian, atlantean, and aryan consciousness" on the path of probation, the ray of the physical body must become subordinated to the potencies emanating from those soul rays which stream forth from the outer tier of petals in the egoic lotus (see a treatise on cosmic fire) these are the- 13- a treatise on the seven rays- volume ii: esoteric psychology ii copyright 1998 lucis trust knowledge petals. on the p

their emotional desires (again related to the form side) so that the true import of the movement is in danger of being lost. spiritualism, in its lowest and material aspect, is a low grade expression of the seventh ray and is for the masses definitely a line of least resistance, and, therefore, of no great spiritual importance to their evolutionary development. the masses of the people are today atlantean in their consciousness and are only slowly emerging into the aryan point of view. this must change and the mind activity be rapidly enhanced or else true spiritualism will be unable to express itself and through the present spiritualistic movement there can be let loose upon the world forces and entities of a most undesirable character. the negativity of the majority of those who are int

ed by those who have passed, or are passing, through the stages of aspirant and disciple, thus learning to serve. psychic unfoldment in the masses parallels the spiritual unfoldment of advanced humanity. this can be seen going on today on a large scale everywhere and it accounts for the tremendous growth of the spiritualistic movement and for the enormous increase in the lower psychic powers. old atlantean magic and the lower psychism are upon us again in the great turning of the wheel of life, but this time good may eventuate, if the world disciples and the spiritually-minded people measure up to their opportunity. today there are many thousands coming under the influence of this law of loving understanding. many in every nation are responding to the broader synthetic brotherly note, but

and fog and form part of the miasmas and unhealthy emanations for which the masses of men, for millions of years, are responsible. i would point out to you that, in lemurian days, glamour and illusion were relatively unknown from the human standpoint. there were no mental reactions and but little emotional response to environment. men were largely instinctual animals. glamour began to be found in atlantean days, and since that time has steadily precipitated, until today when the hierarchy looks at humanity it appears to be walking in a deep and constantly changing density of currents which hide and distort, and which swirl around the sons of men and prevent their seeing the light as it is. this is all the more obvious when it is remembered that the other kingdoms of nature are relatively f

s one, and naught is known but life and deity. in summarising some of the information i have given to you concerning the four aspects of glamour, i would offer the following tabulation for your careful consideration. note: 1. a dawning sense of maya arose in lemurian days, but there was no real glamour and illusion- 25- glamour: a world problem copyright 1998 lucis trust 2. glamour arose in early atlantean times. 3. illusion arose among advanced human beings in later atlantean days and will be a controlling factor in our aryan race. 4. the dweller on the threshold arrives at full potency at the end of this race, the aryan, and in the lives of all initiates prior to taking the third initiation. 5. the subhuman kingdoms in nature are free from glamour and illusion, but are immersed in the wo

e age-long activity of human desire. b. it is a corporate part of a man's own energy nature, and therefore constitutes for him the line of least resistance; it is part of a great world process and therefore a part of the individual life process also, and is, in itself, not wrong but an aspect of reality. this realisation necessarily complicates man's thought about it. c. it is likewise definitely atlantean in nature, being brought to a very high point of development in that race. it can therefore only be finally dissipated by the aryan race using the right technique. the individual who is learning to dissipate glamour has to do two things: 1. stand in spiritual being. 2. keep the mind steady in the light. from this it will be apparent that the energy of the astral plane as it expresses its

ed and glamour was definitely established on earth. it was that which enfolded and over-emphasised the lower at the expense of the higher, and served to distract the attention of the aspirant away from reality. may i again re-emphasise that, at this early stage, glamour was only evoked by and recognised by the highly evolved people of that period? then the lemurian race slowly passed away and the atlantean race came into existence. during the millions of years this race flourished on earth there were vast numbers of people with the lemurian consciousness flourishing at the same time, just as today in this modern aryan race, there are many, many millions of people who express the atlantean consciousness and are polarised in their astral bodies, the victims of emotion and of consequent glamo

n view of all the above, and starting with the basic fact of the great illusion it should be remembered that the accuracy of astrological prediction and interpretation will be based upon three factors: 1. the potency of the thoughtforms which have been built up in connection with the twelve signs. these thoughtforms were originally constructed or anchored upon the mental plane by the hierarchy in atlantean days and they have steadily gained in power ever since. they serve as focal points for certain forces and enable the individual, for instance, to be in touch with great reservoirs of energy which then definitely condition him. 2. the intuition of the astrologer. the casting of the horoscope serves to put the astrologer en rapport with the individual, but this is of small service to eithe

eric triangles vary with the ray type. this science of triangles of energy underlies the new esoteric science both in astrology and in the science of laya-yoga or the science of the centres. both this ancient yoga and the still more ancient astrological science have now to be studied upon a higher turn of the spiral. up till the present time, the teaching about the centres has been inherited from atlantean times and couched in the old forms and formulas which are basically unsuited to our present greatly advanced stage of development. the same can be said of orthodox or exoteric astrology. both these sciences must be reoriented and rearranged, and astrology must be based upon a deeper understanding of the relation of the planets sacred and non-sacred to the centres and to certain prominent

arry the man "from door to door, for leo is the next sign to cancer, and sagittarius is the sign which precedes capricorn" i am quoting from an ancient book on the signs. sagittarius is sometimes depicted as an archer on a white horse and a study of the meaning of this symbolism will reveal a great deal of inner teaching. this is one of the later ways of portraying this constellation. earlier, in atlantean days (from which period we have inherited what we know about astrology, the sign was frequently depicted by the centaur the fabulous animal which was half a man and half a horse. the horse symbolism dominated atlantean myths and symbols, just as the ram and the lamb are prominently to be found in our modern presentations. this earlier sign of the centaur stood for the evolution and the d

essential primeval evil, and concerning this fact, ancient legends and hints are found throughout the earliest records and writings. there is much misinterpreted testimony to this effect, and when men can read the records more correctly and with right interpretation, they will understand the way out, because they will see more clearly the underlying causes. cancer is a gift to modern man from the atlantean humanity, and the scourge of this disease was the major factor which devastated the inhabitants of old atlantis. the roots of this dire evil are deep-seated in the emotional or desire nature, and are grounded in the astral body. cancer is partially the result of a reaction to the diseases connected with the sex life which became so rampant in later lemurian times and early atlantean days

erations of those who have died upon the earth, the "germs (so-called by the unlearned thinker) of the dread complaint of cancer are to be found in the very soil on which we live, infecting the vegetable kingdom and also the human family. a correspondence to the syphilitic complaints of man are to be found in the mineral kingdom. tuberculosis, which was devastatingly rampant at a certain stage in atlantean times, is nevertheless a disease which has been generated principally in our aryan race, and one which we are bequeathing to the animal kingdom and are sharing with them. this is beginning to be realised. so close, however, is the relation between men and animals (particularly the domestic animals) that they today share with men practically all his ailments in some form or another, somet

ALICE A BAILEY21 EDUCATION IN THE NEW AGE

s (frequently also misused: culture and civilisation. for it is the production of some form of culture material or spiritual, or material and spiritual which is the objective of all education. education is the major agent in the world. civilisation is the reaction of humanity to the purpose of any particular world period. in each age, some idea must be expressed in the current racial idealism. in atlantean times, the idea that predominated was basically sensory religious idealism or mysticism, expressing itself in terms of approach to a felt but unseen deity, an expression of the way of feeling. yet there were highly sensitive races, composed of nations and groups who laboured over the development of the feeling nature, consciously sometimes, but mostly unconsciously. their attitude to eac

an being, and the interpretation of god and nature in terms of feeling-perception these laid the basis of that ancient civilisation and have largely coloured our present racial attitudes, at least- 31- education in the new age copyright 1998 lucis trust up until the advent of christ, who wrought great changes in the human consciousness and ushered in a new civilisation. children are still largely atlantean in their consciousness; it is with them a form of recapitulation, analogous to the prenatal stage; the same recapitulation goes forward upon the path when a man develops the mystical consciousness anew, after he has evoked his mental nature and prior to unfolding true occult awareness or knowledge and the reactions of the higher mind. the problem before education is to take the atlantean

ustodians for the advance ideals of the current civilisation, but the energy which they release works out frequently in the establishment, temporarily, of the more concrete values. my remarks are only partial, and the facts equally so. i exaggerate perhaps; yet maybe i do not. nevertheless, the fact remains that the two great civilisations about which we can really know anything the aryan and the atlantean present two extreme objectives or positions towards which the humanity of the two periods directed and still direct their attention. the atlantean civilisation was definitely religious in its attitudes; religion was the commonplace of life and the raison d' tre of all that was. the world after death was the subject of interest and unwavering, unquestioning belief. the subtle influences e

physical world. the man of culture relates the world of meaning to the world of appearances and regards them in his mind (thus recognising them with his brain, an indication of an established link or relationship) as constituting one world with two aspects. he moves with equal freedom in both worlds, and with simultaneity as far as his consciousness or his sense of awareness is concerned. even in atlantean times there were those who comprehended the significance of culture as an outgrowth of civilisation. the masses must be civilised as a step towards giving them that culture which will make of them true and significant human beings. a human being has perforce to be a man, capable of living in the world of external realities, and at the same time capable of recognising himself as living in

ropic, goodwill and welfare movements of today. 3. it will make possible, eventually, the vitalising of the mind body by the will or sacrifice petals, and this will give awareness of the plan, directed purpose, and group synthesis. the first of these three knowledge petals opened in lemurian times and brought a measure of light to the physical plane consciousness of humanity. the second opened in atlantean times and brought light to the astral plane. and in our race, the aryan, the third petal opened and brought the light of mental knowledge to man. thus was completed (in the three races) the arduous task of vitalising the threefold manifested world (physical, astral, mental, and the energy of intelligence became a powerful, ruling factor. now the task of vitalising man with the energy of

nner growth warrants a fresh approach to their interpretation. this formula is seen by the disciple inscribed upon the plates of the unknown metal, described by me on page 249. it is formed of a series of lines which meet at a circle within a square, such as that depicted below: curiously enough, it is this ancient symbol, with its indicated reference to the emotional nature, and therefore to the atlantean consciousness, which points to a basis for progress, which is the subtle force behind the "flags of all nations" flags are symbols of the devotion of a people to their national soil and to their national spiritual objectives. they have of course been prostituted to signify national separativeness and selfishness and national patriotism, but behind the flag is a point of power which is th

loser and a more widespread contact between the hierarchy and humanity. 3. the revelation of the true significance of initiation. this true significance lies still behind the curtain of that which veils the ultimate truth. the great secrets of sanat kumara are there to be found in due time, and the truth anent initiation is one of them. when the hierarchy withdrew behind the separating curtain in atlantean times, it marked the beginning of an interlude of darkness, of aridity and a cycle of "blank abstraction" which persisted in its crudest form until 1425 a.d, and since then has sensibly lightened until we reached the year 1925. it became possible for the hierarchy itself to regard the necessity for reorientation and the imminence of the revelation of the first secret the secret of initia

t with each other and the pairs of opposites (always existent in manifestation) became active factors in the consciousness of advanced humanity. the battle of discrimination was opened, and humanity became active upon the field of kurukshetra. where there is no conscious response to a condition and no registered awareness, there is no problem of responsibility, as far as the soul is concerned. in atlantean times, this condition was evoked and hence the problem facing the race today; hence the task of the hierarchy to free the souls of men from the surrounding glamour and to enable them to achieve liberation. the culmination of the issue and the controversy, then initiated, is now upon us. the third function, therefore, of the group can be grasped at this time, and eventually this branch of

mal men became human beings, of a very low order to be sure, but still men. they were "sparked" if i might so express it, and a point of light appeared where before there was none. before there was only a diffused atomic light but no central point of light within the head, and no indication of the higher centres. these individuals, along with the more advanced humanity which came to the planet in atlantean times (having individualised elsewhere, constitute the most advanced humanity of our present period. they represent culture and understanding, no matter where it is found, or in what class or race. 2. the instinctual nature of animal-man (found active among those who had not reached the stage of any conscious aspiration) was suddenly stimulated or vitalised by the coming into expression

nd then tribe united with tribe to form larger tribes or embryonic nations, this mass effect increased, but there was still but little thinking or direction connected with it; it was largely instinctive and if i might so express it the etheric plane was in reality more in the nature of a matrix surrounding a valuable creation, and was essentially protective, separating and slightly energising. in atlantean days, the plane whereon humanity received its major direction or unfoldment was such that the emotional, impulsive nature and the field of maturing desire became dominantly active. then the real difficulty within the realm of maya started. hitherto only two energies had been felt upon the etheric plane: the energy of life itself, via the sutratma, as it passed through the etheric plane i

ler, and its ministers responsible for home affairs (or interior relations, and its foreign secretary, responsible for exoteric relationships. one further point anent the buddhas of activity might here be of interest. each of them has a special relation to the three races which have been or are strictly human: these are the third, the fourth and the fifth rootraces which we call the lemurian, the atlantean and the present aryan race (i do not use the word "aryan" in the manner of the german race. in some peculiar manner, they represent in shamballa the soul of each of these three races. one thing complicates this question for you, but it is in reality quite simple. the same souls re-incarnate in each race, and each soul therefore comes in turn under the influence of each of the three buddh

chy and the demonstration of their united ability to work from the physical plane up to the highest, in order to move unitedly through this door on to the way. speaking symbolically, this externalisation is for the members of the hierarchy an act of sacrificial service, but it is also a symbolic gesture. the hierarchy incarnates on earth again, and for the first time since its last incarnation in atlantean days. it is, however, a group incarnation and not the incarnation of individual members. this is probably a subtle point too difficult for you to grasp. the externalisation of the hierarchy, therefore, and the restoration of the mysteries, are not something done for humanity or simply carried out because men have earned a closer contact, have the right to some reward or are now so spirit

terrestrial civilisations and the symbolic stories in the ancient texts and legends across thousands of years, is that of a war in the heavens, possibly a war between extraterrestrial civilisations for control of this galaxy. i feel this relates to the struggle between two consciousness streams on the fourth dimension, for the control of this one. lemuria was the creation of one of these streams, atlantis the work of the other. it has been a long and bitter battle with humanity as the pawns in the middle. the indian vedas contain stories that could easily describe a high tech battle in the skies. those who are more evolved technologically do not have to be more evolved spiritually. the development of the atomic bomb is a case in point. developing the bomb was brilliant technologically. dro

in the west and in the arabic world, the traditions of rational greek science had made progress. hence, it is now suggested, when "hermes trismegistus" and all that he stood for is rediscovered in the renaissance, the return to the occult this time stimulates the genuine science. the emerging modern science is still clothed in what might be described as a hermetic atmosphere. francis bacon's new atlantis is perhaps not a very good example to take since bacon's former position as father of experimental science is now weakened. nevertheless, the new atlantis is a scientist's paradise where every kind of discovery and invention is put to the service of the happy people. it is ruled by an order or society called "salomon's house" dedicated to the study of the works and creatures of god. the f

2.1945, a 32nd-degree mason, put it on the back of the one-dollar bill. most scholars agree that the pyramid represented on the bill is the great pyramid of cheops at giza, which, to a mason, is emblematic of the continuity of the craft of freemasonry from the dawn of civilization in egypt. for freemasons it is also a reminder of the legend that egyptian civilization was founded by survivors from atlantis and that the united states is the new atlantis foretold by the great master mason sir francis bacon (1561.1626. the pyramid with the all-seeing eye represents the great architect of the universe that guided the founding fathers of the united states to establish a nation that might one day reveal itself as the heir of the ancient mysteries of atlantis and restore all humankind to the earth
