Alice Bailey

Human and Solar Initiation Alice Bailey

The theme of "initiation" appears repeatedly throughout this book series. An initiation is an expansion of consciousness, a means of opening the mind and heart to the recognition of what actually exists. It is then, a result of the ability to transcend those mirages and illusions that veil the truth and limit consciousness. As a process of living, initiation is experienced by all forms of life, great and small, from the universal to the particular. The process of initiation in our solar system is based on a model, which is duplicated and reflected within the whole, and through its many parts. It can be called the thread of living energy, accepted and woven into the total tapestry by each unit of consciousness in creation, in a final synthesis. The Path of Initiation is, then, the path of the Antahkarana. About the author: Alice Bailey (1880-1949) was an English esoteric practitioner and writer. At the age of 35, she entered the Theosophical Society center in Los Angeles (USA), at the Pacific Grove Theosophical Lodge. In 1919, Bailey (39 years old) severed her ties to the Theosophical Society and began to write texts that he claimed were dictated telepathically by a certain "Tibetan," or "D. K. . She published those texts under the title Human and Solar Initiation. She there she made known the existence of the spiritual hierarchy, which Madame Blavatsky had already spread, although not in an orderly way. She later revealed that the Tibetan D. K. was the master Djwal Khul. She wrote using the teacher's name for 30 years, from 1919 until her death in 1949
