A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO WITCHCRAFT AND MAGICK SPELLS

herbs can be grown in pots or in gardens and chopped in a mortar and pestle. fresh herbs have more immediate energies than dried, though the latter are better in sachets and poppets. always bear in mind that the magick is in you, not in your tools, and a wand cut from a fallen hazel or willow branch in the right hands can be more magical that the most elaborate crystal-tipped one purchased from a new age store. spell casting spell casting is part of some, but by no means all, wiccan activities. most spells are carried out with the purpose of changing someone's life for the better or sending healing energies to others. for example, love magick could, if you wish to bring love into your life, be focused on increasing the love in the world, thereby attracting love in its many forms, and not j

ces who regale you with supposed wiccan practices or offer to do spells for you, usually for money. true wiccans are among the most tolerant of people and would never seek to impose their beliefs on others and are usually incredibly reticent with people they do not know. in the meantime, it is wise to follow an indirect route to find your coven, perhaps through 'green' organisations and reputable new age stores, or by attending workshops and celebrations arranged by pagan federations and healing organisations, and talking to people there. you can also visit healing festivals and buy established pagan magazines. take your time until everything feels right and you have answered all the questions you need to ask. no reputable coven will be in a hurry to sign you up- the reverse is usually the

between your altar candles you may like to place statues, a god and goddess figure from either your own spiritual background or from a culture that seems significant to you; this will balance the yang, or male, energies with the yin, or female. the god figure may be represented by a horn, and the goddess by a large conch shell. there are a great variety of deity figures in museum shops as well as new age shops and those selling goods from particular areas of the world. you may, however, feel more comfortable with a ceramic animal, bird or reptile for which you feel an affinity: a tiger for courage, an eagle for vision, a cat for mystery and independence, a snake for regeneration. this is what native americans call our personal totem or power creature. you may find some of these are, in som

he centuries is available for all; and ancient techniques and modern methods must meet and interchange. each will have to modify its mode of presentation and each will have to make an effort to understand the underlying spirit which has produced a peculiar phraseology and imagery, but when these concessions are made, a structure of truth will be found to emerge which will embody the spirit of the new age. modern thinkers are realizing this and dr. overstreet points out that "eastern philosophy, one suspects, has had small effect upon western thought chiefly because of its manner. but there is every reason to believe that as the influence of western thinking- 2- from intellect to intuition copyright 1998 lucis trust particularly its experimental hard-headedness is felt in the east, a new ph

will occur and retrogression be found. someone has said that the danger which we must avoid is that of a "disintegrating personality" if humanity is not potential, if man has reached his zenith and can go no further, then he should recognize this fact and make his decline and fall as easy and as beautiful as possible. it is encouraging to note how in 1850 the dim outlines of that portal into the new age were vaguely seen and how much concern thinkers then evinced that man should not fail to learn his lesson and go forward. read the words of carlyle and note how appropriate they are to the present time "in the days that are passing over us, even fools are arrested to ask the meaning of them; few of the generations of men have seen more impressive days. days of endless calamity, disruption

whither he is bound."8(8) looking back over the seventy or more years that have elapsed since carlyle wrote these words, we know that mankind did not fail to go forward. the electrical age was inaugurated and the wonders of the scientific achievements of our time are known by us all. with optimism, therefore, in a time of fresh crisis, we can go forward with true courage, for the portals into the new age are far more clearly seen. perhaps it is true also that man is only now attaining his majority and is about to enter upon his inheritance and to discover within himself powers and capacities, faculties and tendencies which are the guarantee of a vital and useful manhood, and of eternal existence. we are completing the stage wherein the emphasis has been laid upon the mechanism, upon the su

of awareness must be steadily expanded. expansion and growth is the law of life and while the mass of men must be lifted by a system of education, fitted to bring the greatest good to the greatest number, the individual must be given his full heritage, and special culture provided which will foster and strengthen the finest and the best amongst us, for in their achievement lies the promise of the new age. the inferior and the backward must also have special training in order that they may come up to the high standard which the educators set. but it is of even greater importance that no man, with a special aptitude and equipment, should be held down to the dead level of the mass standard of the educated class. it is right here that the difficulty of defining education becomes apparent, and

make man truly human; it must round out and perfect his nature, and so reveal and make possible those deeper potentialities towards which all humanity tends. the evocation of the will-to-know, and, later, of the will-to-be, must follow a natural process of development. it is in this connection that the method of meditation will be seen as a part of the technique of the higher education which the new age will see developed; it will be found to be the means whereby the rounded out human being can be still further developed, and led forth into a new kingdom in nature. meditation is primarily a self-initiated process of education, calling forth all the powers of the will, basing itself upon the equipment present, but- 17- from intellect to intuition copyright 1998 lucis trust producing at the

problem to be solved by all who are seeking to co-operate with the great white lodge has four objects in view. first, that in the working out of the plan there is also the working out of karma. this karma is not merely individual nor purely national, but is part of the total working out of world karma. second. another object is the preparing of an instrument for service in the inauguration of the new age during the next two hundred years. the integration of a group of knowers and of mystics is going on steadily in all parts of the world and in all organizations. one group is being gathered but its members belong to many groups. to this group of knowers and mystics is given the opportunity of being the channel through which the hierarchy can work, and through which the great ones can send t

and mystics is given the opportunity of being the channel through which the hierarchy can work, and through which the great ones can send their illuminating thought. through it also they can work for the uplift (in the occult sense) of humanity and thus aid evolution on every plane. according to the response of disciples, of mystics and of knowers everywhere, so will be the rapid coming in of the new age. i here seek to sound a word of warning: in the failure to respond, in the failure to adjust, construct and refine, in the failure to turn the inner ear to those voices on the subtler planes which utter "the words of reconstruction" may come the ultimate transference of the forces of reconstruction to other channels, the consequent withholding of opportunities and the ultimate discarding o

se the higher vision and to achieve at the cost of the lower, the consciousness of that higher plane. they will have to remember that the lower objective, owing to its proximity, will loom in many ways more attractive, and can only be transcended at infinite cost. intuition must be developed in many people, and their sense of values adequately adjusted before this group, which must inaugurate the new age, can measure up to the requirements. present day troubles are largely due to the lack of intuitive perception in the past and this fault lies primarily among the mystics of the world and not so much among the lower aspirants. the trouble has not lain in lack of idealism or even in a lack of intelligence and sincerity, it consists in the failure to sacrifice the personality at all times in

the unification of the personal life and to the adaptation of the physical world to the needs of the personal self. on the subtler planes they must be transmuted until they are adequate to the needs of the group of which the individual forms a fragmentary part. the ability to do this is one of the things that the great ones look for in those individuals whose privilege it may be to inaugurate the new age. above all, they look for an enlarged channel from the soul to the physical brain, via the mind. such an enlarged channel indicates that a man can be used. one might almost express it by- 82- a treatise on white magic copyright 1998 lucis trust saying that they look for the perfecting of the antaskarana, that channel of communication between the soul consciousness and the brain whose posse

ones joyfully employ him. the wrong angle has been, at times, over-emphasized and the reverse of this taught. the masters must not be sought because a man seeks capacity. they will be found when a man has capacity capacity that makes him available for group work and that can be extended under careful instruction into the higher powers of the soul. leadership in groups controlling the work of the new age will grow out of the discipline of the individual, and leaders will be found among those who sense the inner issue. leadership that endures does not come to those who strive for place and power nor for those who have their eyes only on outward conditions and overlook the underlying causes. leadership does not come to those who place the personal self and its position and power before the g

third, the general lines of the magical work of creation have received attention. the first line of teaching concerns the individual and his development; the second indicates the nature and ideals of the group into which he may find his way if he profits by the teaching and learns control; the third, could you but realise it, details in some measure the methods and modes of work during the coming new age. ponder upon these three main approaches to truth, and think upon them with clarity of thought. mental appreciation of their significance will produce understanding and will likewise increase the group apprehension of the teaching which i have sought to impart. any student who thinks clearly and applies the teaching to his daily life is contributing most valuably to the group awareness. of

its presence felt. this is because mankind is, at last, becoming mentally centred, and hence we have in the world at this time the many and varied attempts to straighten out affairs along business, national, economic, social and other lines, to produce some system and order, and to bring about the re-arranging of all energies with the objective (unrealised consciously as yet) of inaugurating the new age. owing, however, to defective mental control and to an almost universal ignorance as to the laws of thought, and in addition, to a profound lack of knowledge as to man's own nature, man works blindly. the ideals sensed are not correctly interpreted by the mind nor applied in such a way that they are of general and appropriate application. hence the confusion and the chaotic experimentation

he work of the individual, saying "let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works."9 second, the opportunity was presented to the race as a whole to take a tremendous step forward, to undergo the "new birth" or take the first initiation. this we shall deal with in our next chapter. the third concept which was taught by the christ was that which embodied the technique of the new age, which was to come when individual salvation and the new birth had been properly grasped. this was the message or command to love our neighbour as ourselves.10 individual effort, group opportunity, and identification with each other this was the message of the christ. in the teaching of the buddha we have the three ways in which the lower nature can be changed and prepared to be a consciou

s been reached. now comes the opportunity for that subtle divine self to manifest through the agency of the experience which we call the "new birth" and which christianity has ever taught. the effect of all that is now transpiring upon earth is to bring to the surface that which is hidden within the human heart, and to unveil to our eyes the new vision. then we can pass through the gateway of the new age into a world which will be characterised by newer awareness, a deeper understanding of the vital realities, and a truer and higher standard of values. the word must again sound forth from the centre the centre in the heavens, and the centre in every human heart. each individual soul must hear it for itself alone. each of us has to pass through that experience wherein we know ourselves to b

. he approached still nearer as time went on; and before the advent of christianity men recognised him as the beloved krishna of the hindu faith, and as the buddha. then the christ came to the west. god himself was seen incarnate among men. the distant had become the near, and the one who had been worshipped in awe and wonder could now be known and loved. today god is coming closer still, and the new age will not only recognise the truth of the past revelations and testify to their validity and their progressive revelation of divinity, but to all this will be added the ultimate revelation of the presence of god in the human heart, of christ born in man, and of each human being manifesting, in truth, as a son of god. in a consideration of the unfoldment of consciousness the same emerging di

le human interpretation, then all that has been written and taught, down the centuries, proves futile and unavailing. the ordinary theological applications no longer make an appeal to the developed intelligence of man. christ himself is ever powerful to attract human interest, and to draw to himself those who have the vision to see truth as it is and to hear the gospel message in terms which each new age demands. it is a waste of time to go on elaborating this ancient story of the living christ if it contains for us no specific message, if all that is required of us is the attitude of the onlooker and of the man who simply says "this is so" this believing yet negative attitude has been held too long. looking on at christ from too great a distance, we have been so preoccupied with a realisa

ving achieved "the measure of the stature of the fullness of christ."24 we shall see later that upon the revelation of the risen christ must the new world religion take its stand. christ upon the cross, as will appear when we study the next great crisis, showed us love and sacrifice carried to their extreme expression; but christ alive from all time, and vitally alive today, is the keynote of the new age, and upon this truth must the new presentation of religion be built and, later, the new theology be constructed. the true meaning of the resurrection and the ascension has not yet been grasped; as a divine subjective reality those truths still await revelation. the glory of the new age will be the unveiling of those two mysteries, and our entrance into a fuller understanding of god as life

which tend towards right conduct, right speech, and good character. the thought underlying this paragraph links the conclusions of the materialistic school of psychologists with the introspectionist school and those schools which posit a self, a soul or a spiritual entity, and shows that both groups are dealing with facts, and that both must play their united parts in training the aspirant in the new age. 4. as the introspective method is pursued, and as we study the human subject, we discover that underlying the human body in all its parts, and constituting a definite part of the human apparatus, there is a vehicle which has been called the "etheric body, composed entirely of threads of force which, in their turn, form the channels along which still more subtle and varying types of energy

things which i seek to say and which merit our careful attention. first, is the fact that the result of all contact achieved in meditation and the measure of our success, will be determined by the ensuing service to the race. if there is right understanding, there will necessarily be right action. it has previously been pointed out that the three great sciences which will come to the fore in the new age, and which will lead humanity from the unreal to the real, and from aspiration to realisation are 1. the science of meditation, the coming science of the mind. 2. the science of antaskarana, or the science of the bridging which must take place between higher and lower mind. 3. the science of service, which is a definite technique of at-one-ment. we shall now consider the broad outlines of

must be assimilated by humanity. these ideas, when grasped by the aspirant bring about two developments. first, they initiate a period of destruction and of a breaking up of that which is old and hindering, and this is later followed by the clear shining forth of the new idea and its subsequent grasping by the minds of intelligent humanity. these ideas embody great principles, and constitute the new age ideas. these servers, therefore, work as god's destroying angels, destroying the old forms, but nevertheless, behind it all lies the impetus of love. with the average aspirant, however, who is on the first ray, the activity is not so intelligent. he grasps the idea that is needed by the race, but he will seek to impose it primarily as his idea, something which he has seen and grasped and w

brothers to greater courage, clearer vision, finer purity of motive, and deeper love, and yet avoid the danger of vitalising his personality characteristics. this is the major difficulty. to do this effectively and correctly, we must all learn to think of each other as souls, and not as human beings. therefore, as a preliminary statement, we have the following objectives in the group work of the new age, as they make their tentative beginnings at this time. the later and more esoteric objectives will emerge as the earlier ones are reached: 1. group unity. this must be achieved through the practice of love, which is part of the practice of the presence of god, through the subordination of the personality life to the group life, and constant, loving, living service. 2. group meditation. the

usion, even if their spiritual attainments seemed inadequate to the onlooker. a good deal of the teaching given is new in form and some of it is new in fact. one point emerges with clarity and that is: the old rules to which disciples have been subjected down the centuries still hold good, but are susceptible of fresh and often different interpretations. the training to be given during the coming new age will be fitted to their more advanced development. the evolutionary progress from century to century presents a steadily ripening and developing human mind upon which the master can work. the standard of discipleship is consequently as steadily rising. this, in itself, demands a new approach, a wider presentation of truth and the permitting of a greater freedom of action upon the part of t

. devotion, emotional reactions and sentiment are not enough. esoteric training is also an impersonal matter; it is concerned with the development of soul consciousness and with the expansion of that consciousness to include, and not exclude, all forms of life through which pulses the life and love of god. the true disciple is ever inclusive and never exclusive. it is this- 2- discipleship in the new age- volume i copyright 1998 lucis trust inclusiveness which is the hallmark of all true esotericists. where it is lacking you may have an aspirant but you do not have a true disciple. there is far too much exclusiveness extant today among esotericists and in occult schools and too much theological separativeness. it has been felt that this book of instructions may do much to offset this evil

hus changed for all time the trend of human affairs. these moments produced the magna charta; they gave emphasis, through the french revolution, to the concepts of liberty, equality and fraternity; they formulated the american bill of rights, and on the high seas and in our own time and day they gave us the atlantic charter and the four freedoms. these are the great concepts which must govern the new age with its nascent civilization and its future culture. if the children of today are taught the significance of these five great declarations and are, at the- 26- problems of humanity copyright 1998 lucis trust same time, taught the futility of hate and war, there is hope of a better and happier as well as of a safer world. two major ideas should immediately be taught to the children of ever

ed in order to provide a living wage and the necessities of life. one is the problem of capital and the other is the problem of labour; one is the problem of established control of the purely selfish interests which have for so long controlled the life of humanity and the other is the problem of leisure and its constructive use. one problem concerns civilization and its correct functioning in the new age and the other concerns culture and the employment of time along creative lines. it is not useful here to prophesy the uses to which the most potent energy hitherto released for man's helping can or will be put. its first constructive use was to end the war. its future constructive use lies in the hands of science and should be controlled by the men of goodwill to be found in all nations. t

we face another type of war between these two groups? 4. in what way can the law of supply and demand be implemented so that there is justice for all and plenty for all? 5. must some form of totalitarian control be adopted by the various world governments in order to meet the requirements of supply and demand? must we legislate for material ends and comfort? 6. what standard of living will in the new age seem essential to man? shall we have a purely materialistic civilization or shall we have a spiritual world trend? 7. what must be done to prevent the monied interests from again mobilizing for the exploitation of the world? 8. what really lies at the very heart of the modern materialistic difficulty? this last question can be answered in the well known words "the love of money is the root

ALICE A BAILEY14 THE REAPPEARANCE OF THE CHRIST

t in nature. they come when evil is rampant. for this reason, if for no other, an avatar may be looked for today. the necessary stage is set for the reappearance of the christ. avatars are of all degrees and kinds; some of them are of great planetary importance because they express whole cycles of future development within themselves and strike the note and give the teaching which will bring in a new age and a new civilisation; they embody great truths towards which the masses of men must work and which still constitute an objective to the greatest minds of the age, even though as yet unrealised. certain avatars also express in themselves the sum total of human achievement and of racial perfection, and thus become the "ideal men" of the ages. others, greater still, are permitted to be the

ons. they have the gift of being these embodied spiritual qualities, and because they have in fullness expressed such a specific principle or quality they can act as channels for its transmission from the centre of all spiritual life. this is the basis for the doctrine of avatars or divine messengers. such an one was the christ; he was twice an avatar because he not only struck the keynote of the new age (over two thousand years ago) but he also, in some mysterious and incomprehensible manner, embodied in himself the divine principle of love; he was the first to reveal to men the true nature of god. the invocative cry of humanity (the second of the incentives producing a divine emergence) is potent in effect because the souls of men, particularly in concerted action, have in them something

hing and for it the christ must prepare and with this trend he will have to work. the "cycle of conferences" which is now swinging into full tide is part of the unique condition with which the christ is faced. before, however, christ could come with his disciples, our present civilisation had to die. during the coming century, we shall begin to learn the meaning of the word "resurrection" and the new age will begin to reveal its deep purpose and intention. the first step will be the emergence of humanity from the death of its civilisation, of its old ideas and modes of living, the relinquishing of its materialistic goals and its damning selfishness, and its moving forward into the clear light of the resurrection. these are not symbolical or mystical words but part of the general setting wh

related to this avatar of synthesis. the bringing together of all the agents of goodwill (who are responsive to the energy of the divine will-to-good) constitutes the major objective of the new group of world servers and always has been. their work can now be constructively and creatively intensified through the association of the avatar of synthesis with the christ. their task is to usher in the new age; in that new age, the five kingdoms in nature will begin to function as one creative whole. their work falls into the following parts, functions or activities: a. the production of a human synthesis or unity which will lead to an universal recognition of the one humanity, brought about through right human relations. b. the establishing of right relations with the subhuman kingdoms in natur

power, the major effect of which will be to induce recognition of man's essential unity, of the processes of sharing and of cooperation and of the emergence of that new world religion whose keynote will be universality and initiation. if the word "initiation" signifies the processes of "entering into" then it is indeed true today that humanity is undergoing a true initiation as it enters into the new age of aquarius; it will then be subjected to those energies and forces which will break down the barriers of separation, and which will blend and fuse the consciousness of all men into that unity which is distinctive of the christ consciousness- 43- the reappearance of the christ copyright 1998 lucis trust in june, 1945, at the time of the full moon (so significant a day in the spiritual expe

ALICE A BAILEY15 THE DESTINY OF THE NATIONS

t the results do not appear with clarity to intelligent human beings because they refuse to see anything except the destructive aspect and the disappearance of the forms to which they have hitherto anchored their emotions, their desire, and their mental perceptions. they fail, as yet, to see the irrefutable evidence of constructive activity and of true creative work. the temple of humanity in the new age is rising rapidly but its outlines cannot be seen because men are occupied entirely with their individual or national selfish point of view and with their personal or national instincts and impulses. i would here like to call your attention to the fact that the instinctual life of nations is something which remains to be studied scientifically and is a phase which leads inevitably to the i

en set up which lasts a long time and which gains power through the very force of organised numbers. this truth will emerge more clearly as we proceed with our studies. suffice it to say that the sixth ray people are the reactionaries, the conservatives, the die-hards and the fanatics, who hold on to all that is of the past and whose influence is potent to hinder the progress of humanity into the new age. their name is legion. they provide, however, a needed balance and are responsible for a steadying process which is much needed in the world at this time. 2. the seventh ray is steadily gaining momentum and has for a long time been stimulating and enhancing the activity of all fifth ray nations. if you bear in mind that one of the major objectives of seventh ray energy is to bring together

the impact of forces generated by those rays, are those who must together, with understanding and clear vision, bring order out of the present chaos. they must materialise those new and desirable conditions which will conform to the subjective pattern in the minds of the illumined people of the world and to the spiritual plan as it exists in the consciousness of the members of the hierarchy. the new age with its peculiar civilisation and culture will be brought into manifestation through the collaboration of the well-intentioned many, responsive increasingly to the good of the whole and not of the individual; they are the idealistic but practical thinkers, influenced by the pattern of things to come and the world disciples, impressed by the plans and under the instruction of the hierarchy

gonism is now upon a world-wide scale. hence much of the- 24- the destiny of the nations copyright 1998 lucis trust present conflict of ideas, and the opposing ideologies, and hence also the feud between the old inherited traditions and the ancient forms of civilisation, of government, of religion on the one hand and of the newer emerging ideas on the other. these new concepts should usher in the new age and will eventually revolutionise our modern life and standards. they will relegate the old ideas to the same position as the ideas which governed the race one thousand years ago have today assumed in our consciousness. second: the situation is still further complicated by the fact that both these rays influence and express themselves (as is ever the case) in a dual manner and have always

ecause it started upon the american continent. the united states of america was the centre of old atlantis and hence inherited a psychic and ancient religious form which was existent and potently alive in that part of the world for many centuries. in spite of these facts, the higher and more living energy of the seventh ray is the most active at this time and its resultant idealism and consequent new age concepts are playing upon the sensitive minds of the race and preparing humanity for a great and much needed change. the work of the ray of ceremonial order is to "ground" or make physically visible the results of bringing spirit and matter together. its function is to clothe spirit with matter, producing form. 2. the nations and the rays. in connection with this discussion which governs a

. therefore each of you in this group must of necessity work separately and apart with himself, and learn to induce those conditions of clarity and truth which will overcome the ancient rhythms and deep-seated habits and thus steadily purify the aura. but this has now to be done as a group, and this group constitutes one of the first of the exoteric groups with which it is intended to work in the new age. through the activity of such groups, the world glamour will be dissipated, but first of all the aspirant must learn to deal with individual and group glamour. it is necessary to remember the following three things. i am going to be brief and technical in teaching this group, for my time is short and you have an adequate technical knowledge with which to understand that whereof i speak. fi

left the group had been in it from karmic right and old relation to myself or to the group members, and had, therefore, earned the opportunity to participate in this activity. each time they failed, and each time for personality reasons. they lacked group realisation and were definitely occupied with themselves. they lacked the new and wider vision. so they eliminated themselves from this initial new age activity. i am explaining this, for it is valuable to disciples to grasp the fact that karmic relation cannot be ignored and that- 74- glamour: a world problem copyright 1998 lucis trust group opportunity must be offered, even though it delay functioning in group service. several of the group members were still struggling with glamour and it needed a longer time for them to adjust themselv

the sense of touch and developed through sound, symbols, words and sentences, languages, writing, art, and on again to the stage of higher symbols, vibratory contact, telepathy, inspiration and illumination. i have, however, in the above, dealt with the general outline and we will take the specific details later. the work of the telepathic communicators is one of the most important in the coming new age, and it will be of value to gain some idea of its significance and techniques. i would, in summarising the above instruction, state that in connection with individuals: 1. telepathic communication is a. between soul and mind. b. between soul, mind and brain. this is as far as interior individual development is concerned. 2. when it is found between individuals, telepathic communication is

nce of telepathy. the success of this is dependent upon the alignment of the bodies of the transmitter and the recipient. the double line of contact must be that of mental energy and brain electrical energy. the magnetic power of love to attract attention, to produce alignment, and to call forth rapport and understanding is not all that is necessary in the new telepathy which will distinguish the new age. there must also be mental development and mental control. this form of telepathy is not a function of the animal soul, as in the case of the solar plexus contact and response to messages by the emotionally polarised man or woman. this telepathic rapport and response is a characteristic of the human soul working from mind to mind and from brain to brain. it is literally a state of consciou

f reception and perception and point him to the more subtle contacts which lie behind those concepts which are regarded as definitely nebulous and to which we give the name of intuitions. the science of impression if studied by the disciples in the world and by the new group of world servers will greatly facilitate the presentation of those ideals which must and will condition the thinking of the new age and will eventually produce the new culture and the new civilised expression which lies ahead of humanity, superseding the present civilisation and providing the next field of expression for mankind. this science is, in fact, the basis of the theory of relationships and will lead to the expansion of the idea of right human relations which has hitherto as a phrase been confined to an ideal

nergy in service. it is here that the knowledge of the number of the petals which form a centre is involved, because this knowledge indicates the number of the energies which are available for service, i.e, two energies, twelve energies, sixteen energies, and so forth. no attention has hitherto been paid to this important point, but it embodies the practical use of the new occultism in the coming new age. the oriental symbols which are often superimposed upon the illustrations of the centres should now be discontinued, because they convey no real use to the occidental mind. 3. the sphere of radiation. this obviously concerns the radius of influence or the outgoing vibratory effect of the centres, as they are gradually and slowly brought into activity. these centres, or their vibrations, ar

e, discriminative pioneering, wise response and correct decision, thus bringing about the destruction of that which hinders without the relinquishing of any true values of which humanity may be aware. the individual disciple has always been faced with these conditioning and releasing circumstances, and today humanity itself is in the same position. we stand at the gateway of the new world, of the new age and its new civilizations, ideals and culture. saturn, having offered opportunity and proffered us a choice to bring about the needed changes and to destroy that which holds back the free expression of the soul, eventually stands aside in order to let his great brother, mercury, spread the light of the soul intuitive and illuminating upon the situation, to interpret for us, through our own

eem (curiously and convincingly) that we are entering into the eighth month of the gestation period; this is almost literally the case where humanity is concerned for counting from virgo to aquarius, the sign into which we are now entering we find that there are just eight signs: virgo, leo, cancer, gemini, taurus, aries, pisces and aquarius, and this is surely the guarantee that the birth of the new age, of the new consciousness and the new civilisation and culture is inevitable and sure. i would like to pause here and make one point somewhat clearer in connection with the passage of human life around the zodiac. this progress or passage falls into three major divisions: 1. the passage or progress of humanity around and around the zodiac from aries to pisces, via- 155- a treatise on the s

e interplay of energies between these two is far more potent than at any previous time in racial history. this is a fact which you are not in a position to verify, but i make it as a statement of fact. it is because of this fact that you have the appearance of the dictators in different countries at this time, and it is because of this fact also that in this present cycle (the ante-chamber of the new age) you have the pronounced attitude of these dictators an attitude which is so often ignored but which has real racial value. it is the attitude which leads to a synthesis of the national life, aims and intentions. a typical instance of this attitude is that of hitler. no matter what may be our personal opinion of him, there is no question that he has unified, produced fusion and blended tog

esire, leading to final illumination, motivates them all. such is the amazing situation which faces the man particularly the disciple or the initiate who is born in this sign. such constitute the difficulties with which he is confronted but such also bring about his immense opportunity for progress. it will be apparent to you that a whole new field of study will open before the astrologers of the new age and fresh light on this greatest of all sciences will be available when the investigator can determine the relative age of the person or of the group whose destiny is to be determined and whose horoscope is being cast. each of these signs will eventually have to be considered in such cases from: 1. the angle of the unevolved man who will be centred a. in one or other of his vehicles. b. in

hen he realises that the ruling planets in leo are, from all three angles exoteric, esoteric and hierarchical the sun. the mass movement towards individual self-consciousness is today enormously intensified as is the paralleling individual movement towards initiation. leo appears again in another important triangle at this time: aries, leo, virgo a triangle which potently aids in inaugurating the new age. that new age will be distinguished by a truly self-aware humanity, conditioned by a steadily manifesting christ consciousness. the potency of aries, as it initiates those happenings which will set in motion the causes that will produce the new age, can be seen today in the trend of all the new movements, in the formulation of the various world orders, in the discoveries of science and in

ALICE A BAILEY19 THE UNFINISHED AUTOBIOGRAPHY

ganising, in encouraging and instructing those who are spiritually awake. one of the reasons which has encouraged me to write this autobiography has been that i and the group associated with us have been in the position to watch and recognise certain developments which under the guidance and influence of the hierarchy have taken place on earth. some of the work which is intended to inaugurate the new age and the future civilisation, particularly from its spiritual angle, we ourselves have been used to initiate. looking back over the years it is now very apparent to us what has been definitely accomplished by the hierarchy through our instrumentality. when i say this i am giving no indication of bragging or self satisfaction. we are only one of many groups through which the masters of the w

gether in groups with the possibility of group initiations held before them, an entirely new idea and vision. the physical disciplines are no longer obligatory. the modern disciple, intelligent, loving and serving, is regarded as not requiring them. he should have outgrown his physical appetites and be free now to serve. much of this teaching is given in a book just published, discipleship in the new age which contains instructions that the tibetan gave to a group of his disciples in the world, some of whom were known to me and some of whom were not. this is the first time in the history of the hierarchy, as far as we know, that the detailed instructions given by a master to his group of disciples have ever been published and so put into the hands of the general public. in the above paragr

iled instructions given by a master to his group of disciples have ever been published and so put into the hands of the general public. in the above paragraphs i have attempted very briefly to describe some of the activities which the- 136- the unfinished autobiography copyright 1998 lucis trust tibetan initiated in an effort along with other members of the hierarchy to strike the key-note of the new age, and it is upon these things in the senior degrees of the arcane school that we seek to lay the emphasis. some of the students have been with us twenty years or more. they have faithfully done their work and are definitely getting results. later we hope to develop certain groups that will use some of the techniques with which the tibetan has dealt in what will probably be his outstanding w

their fellow disciples and used by the master himself as a factual condition know their master, accept teaching from him and among themselves speak of him as he is to them but not to the outside world. the books have, therefore, been going out steadily for years and when a treatise on the seven rays is completed, a short book on glamour is ready for the press and a book on the discipleship in the new age is in the hands of the public, the work of a.a.b. for me will be over. she can then resume her work in the ashram of her own master the work of a disciple. the school the next phase of the work which i sought to see accomplished is now in working order. it was my wish (as it is the wish of many associated with the hierarchy) to see an esoteric school started which would leave the membershi

e other three types of schools are doing good work and meeting the need of those who respond to their note. the old schools are, however, dying out; those in the second group will be active for a long time, giving elementary instruction and training disciples in methods of work and how to serve. the last and newer type of school will go on increasing in power and will prepare the disciples of the new age for the future schools of initiation. iii. the truths taught in the true esoteric schools- 159- the unfinished autobiography copyright 1998 lucis trust it should be noted that many of the truths, hitherto imparted under the term "esoteric" have either not been so, or are now entirely exoteric. the esoteric truths of the past are the exoteric fundamental truths of the present. during the pa

sions of the two above experts, diagnoses the disease, and treats it in collaboration with the other two. these three may call in other experts and specialists in electro-therapy, osteopathy and chiropractic, but it is in the combination of the knowledge of the physician, the psychologist and the endocrinologist that the medical profession can take on a new expression of usefulness, and enter the new age equipped to deal with the people who will gradually assume the new types and a changing physical organism. electricity, in relation to human ills, is as yet an infant science, but it has in it the germs of the new techniques and methods of healing. the work done by the chiropractors is good and needed but should, with osteopathy, constitute a definite subsidiary technique to that of the ot

use. in saying this, i am not reflecting critically upon the medical profession. the money-grasping specialist and the charlatan are rare; they of course exist, as do the corrupt and the undesirable in every profession. where are they not to be found? the closed minds are many; but again, where are they not found? the pioneers along the new lines of thought and the man who has grasped some of the new age concepts have often equally closed minds and see nothing but the new ways, modes and methods, and throw overboard all the old, losing much thereby. the medical- 42- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iv: esoteric healing copyright 1998 lucis trust profession has one of the greatest and most beautiful records in the world of its purpose and field of activity, and has developed some of the

of the incarnate soul, by the specific polarisation of the soul in incarnation, and by the rays (personality and soul) of the man. forget not, that the five aspects of man (as he functions in the three worlds) are determined by certain ray forces; you have the ray of the soul, the ray of the personality, and the rays of the mental, the astral and the physical bodies. all these will, in the coming new age, be definitely considered and discovered, and this knowledge will reveal to the healer the probable condition of the centres, the order of their awakening, and their individual and basic note or notes. the new medical science will be outstandingly built upon the science of the centres, and upon this knowledge all diagnosis and possible cure will be based. the endocrinologist is only beginn

on a fundamental decentralisation of the selfish human consciousness and a rapidly awakening group consciousness. in reality, this means that the hierarchy will be more closely related to the great council at shamballa, and very much more closely interrelated with humanity, so that a dual fusion will be taking place. this will bring about that integrative process which will be the quality of the new age and will inaugurate the aquarian phase of planetary history. i would now like to bring into a close relation the earlier imparted rules for applicants and the new rules for disciples, embodying the new group activity and group discipleship, resulting in group initiation. these rules are fourteen in number. today i will simply give you, first of all the rule for the individual disciple, and

are to be read with the aid of a developing esoteric sense; they are related to group initiation in spite of their having individual application; they are not what they appear to be on the surface trite truisms and spiritual platitudes; but they are rules for initiation which, if followed, will take the disciple and the group through a major spiritual experience; they embody the techniques of the new age, which necessitate group activity, group procedure and united action. earlier i said that these rules are the result of tried experience, and my use of the word "new" in this connotation is related to human knowledge but not to the initiatory procedure. that has always existed and always, at the great crises of initiation, disciples have moved forward in groups, even though they have not b

des the concealed deity is wearing thin, and the work of those who have achieved knowledge, the program of the christ and of his church, the plans of the hidden band of world workers, the rishis and the occult hierarchy of our planet, is now focused upon leading humanity on to the path of discipleship, and training many of the more advanced so that they can become the knowers and initiates of the new age. thus men will pass out of the hall of learning into the hall of wisdom, from the realm of the unreal to the real, and from the outer darkness of phenomenal existence into the light that shines always in the kingdom of spirit. the third key thought gives us a clue to the method. down the ages the words have sounded forth "i am he. who awakens the silent beholder. it has become apparent to

. they are apt to say glibly "the mind is the slayer of the real" and, through an unrecognized mental inertia and laziness, to feel that the important thing is to have the heart nature developed. they regard the mind, with its capacity to analyze and discriminate, as a snare and a delusion. but this surely is an error. knowledge of god is as necessary and as important as love of god; and this the new age, with its new type of aspirant, will most assuredly demonstrate. saintliness, sweetness and a pleasing, loving disposition have their place in the sumtotal of the characteristics [20] of the aspirant, but when linked to stupidity and an undeveloped mentality, they fail to be as useful as they could be when coupled to intelligence. when linked to a high grade intellect and with mental power

this whole concept is something to be very wary of. whenever i hear the term 'master' i cringe. two organisations linked to alice bailey's work, the lucis trust and the world goodwill organisation, are both staunch promoters of the united nations- almost un 'groupies, such is their devotion. i will discuss these further in a later chapter. the more i go into this, it is interesting to see how the new age has inherited 'truths' over the decades in the same way that conventional religion has done over the centuries. as the followers of christianity have inherited the manipulated version of jesus, so new agers have inherited the 'masters. there is too little checking of origins, too much acceptance of inherited beliefs, i think. if the new age isn't careful, it will be christianity revisited

ver a thousand years. many cannot reconcile the values and beliefs of society with the values and beliefs of the dominant religions within society. we are at a point in history where the dominant religions of the past will be displaced by religions whose values are in greater accordance with society's values today. this is why many people have sought out new religions and have turned to wicca and new age philosophies or to alternative religious cults such as heaven's gate and the solar temple. while cults devoted to new age mysticism or white light magic and spirituality have had some success among those seeking for "something. anything spiritual, due principally to christianity's impoverishment of the ego and starvation of the intellect, they are ultimately no more relevant to today's soc

lavey plays a key role on another term as well. religious groups enjoy references to authority. older, well established religions refer to figure 2. the church of satan s followers are roughly organized in four layers: the core, the soldiers, the interested, and the periphery, with an increasing number of followers in each layer. core soldiers interested periphery full-fledged religious behavior new age behavior the tendency to wholly desert the possibility that the founder is an ordinary person or even a crook is common among followers of new religious movements. even if a follower is presented with undeniable evidence somehow the follower does not comprehend the evidence. the thought is beyond their operational paradigm, beyond obscenity and blasphemy; it is unthinkable. the emperor s n

atanists are inherently scientists, it is bizarre that not a single scientist ranks among the individuals usually featured in the church of satan s self-promotion. at best, the church of satan has developed an intellectual beer gut caused by lack of mental training, leaning back comfortably in a chair upholstered with ignorance. the emperor s new religion copyright 2002 ole wolf page 12 of 30 2.2 new age style from a sociological perspective the less active followers of the church of satan the interested followers and the periphery can best be classified as new age religious people and people with no actual involvement in the religion, respectively. new age religious people are characterized by rather unorganized religious training [25, pp. 316-317. like the religious people mentioned earl

ut their relation to the founder and spinoff organizations is usually much more relaxed. the technical term for their form of religious study is audience cult [31, p. 207, which means that their understanding of their religion is self-taught via books and perhaps occasional meetings. they are free to pick and choose from various books and sources: a religious buffet. ideologies vary greatly among new age religions, but a universal characteristic is that of personal development [31, p. 206; 33, p. 24-27. most of these religions emphasize individualism and self-realization where the follower works on himself or herself in some manner towards some concept of perfection. mankind is perceived as a creature with a higher potential, which unfortunately is curbed by today s cultures and traditions

s cultures and traditions. the followers believe that they will be better off if the religion is allowed a place in the sun, where the follower: may come forth in splendor proclaiming i am a satanist! bow down, for i am the highest embodiment of human life [6, p. 45] less restrained, perhaps, but otherwise the church of satan s anticipation of human potential is not different from those of other new age religions in the world-affirming category. the church of satan s use of rituals is typical for new age religions. the designers of the rituals used in new age religions describe each ritual in relative detail, but make no attempts at explaining how or why the rituals work [25, pp. 320-321. followers accept the designers as authorities solely based on the designers personal testimonials. if

ures are nothing more than applied psychology, or scientific fact, called by magical terminology until they arrive at a passage in the text that is based on no known scientific finding. it is for this reason that no attempt has been made to limit the explanations set forth to a set nomenclature [6, p. 110] one one account does the church of satan s interested followers distinguish themselves from new age religions. new age religions are characterized by their large share of seeking people, who drift from one religion to another as they refine their views or gain new insights. the interested followers of the church of satan may also drift, but with a peculiar twist: satan usually remains a common denominator in their religious affiliations when they move from what is essentially one religio

turn the darkest aspect of the gnostic tradition is that of dualism. so many people who read about the gnosis accept at face value that the demiurge (or creator) is evil and that matter itself is, if not evil, then a mixture of darkness and light. this anti-matter, anti-body position tends to be found in extreme christian gnostic sects and has continued today through christian puritanism and some new age gnostic derivatives, heaven s gate ufo cult is a prime example. to understand the nature of the demiurge and hence the true gnostic position on the world and matter we need to provide a background on some of the myths involved. there are many traditions and explanations of how this occurred, ranging from the fall of sophia to the genesis tale. for the valentinians the primal error occurred

way of thinking is (according to evola) a wasteland, it is the final stage in the decay of truth, rather than its pinnacle. history from this perspective is a series of "steps down-ward" whereby new religious and esoteric systems are fragments of the truth rather than being new innovations or developments. evola s magnum opus "revolt against the modern world, slices through the false theosophies, new age visions and pseudo-intellectual systems so prevalent today and offers insight into the real nature of man, his history and his goals. the approach of evola is elitist in the sense that it is intellectually and spiritually demanding, evola demands maximum concentration from his readers, however, in return he offers a worldview, a weltanschauug that challenges the foundations of currently he

le is basically identical. the energy of christ can be related to the solar force which meditates the astrological cycles and hence we can easily relate the quasi- christian imagery to the esoteric tradition. 1904 as the transmission period of the heraldic cycle certainly is expressive. aliester crowley declared that in 1904 aiwass, a being he claimed was a secret chief or master, revealed that a new age was dawning. the matter is made more complex as crowley interpreted this to mean that the aeon of horus had began in 1904. however, from a gnostic perspective this is unlikely. the aeon of horus was the age of pisces and crowley had experienced a further transmission of the energy which was becoming aquarius. at the same time this energy restated much of the teachings of the solar traditio

incipalities intensify. 1964 was the consolidation of the current in the sense that it as the energies accelerated society was pushed to the limit. the result being the opening up of the collective psyche which brought about every possible extreme, politically, sexually, emotional and spiritually. the counter- gnosis intensified and became dominant in both fundamentalism and the syncretism of the new age. however, other discoveries such as the dead sea scrolls and nag hammadi library the gnostic handbook page 68 came into effect in this period and gave rise to the gnostic revival that continues till this day. 2024 is the approximate date for the manifestation of aquarius. however, do not expect it to be all love and light. aquarius is ruled by saturn or uranus, depending on whether you use

th about reincarnation at first this may all seem very heartening, however, if we examine the subject closer we find that the gnostic view of reincarnation has little in common with the version of reincarnations commonly found in the various faiths. it probably would be correct to say that all they have in common is that something reincarnates. in the systems of pop reincarnation (so prevalent in new age circles today) reincarnation is seen as some sort of evolutionary process whereby human beings slowly get better and better over long periods of time and many lives. pop reincarnation also seems to suggest that all of humanity will achieve the final goal, even if it takes some individuals much longer than others. the gnostic view of reincarnation is totally at variance with this. for the g
