"In olden days, the neophyte was forced into a prolonged silence. Speech was not permitted. This was inculcated as a check upon physical utterance of wrong words and ideas, based on inadequate knowledge. Today, the neophyte must learn the same lesson of attention to personal perfection and to personal work through the means of that inner silence which broods over the disciple and forces him to attend to his own work and business, leaving others free to do the same, and so learn the lesson of experience. A great deal of present right activity is hindered by the speech interplay between disciples, and much time is lost through wordy discussion of the work and activities of other disciples. Humanity, as a whole, needs silence at this time as never before; it needs time in which to reflect, and the opportunity to sense the universal rhythm." ESOTERIC PSYCHOLOGY VOLUME II by Alice Bailey.

"With that great hierarchical unit which we call the animal kingdom, the third kingdom in nature, man is definitely related through the medium of his animal, etheric and astral bodies. He is also related to the kingdom of souls, because his own soul is an integral part of that kingdom, just as his physical body is an integral part of the animal kingdom. The aspect of himself which is strictly and specifically human is the mind or mental body; this is essentially the organ of relationship to all other human races." EDUCATION IN A NEW AGE by Alice Bailey.

"Intuition is a comprehensive grip of the principle of universality, and when it is functioning there is, momentarily at least, a complete loss of the sense of separateness. At its highest point, it is known as that Universal Love which has no relation to sentiment or to the affectional reaction but is, predominantly, in the nature of an identification with all beings. Then is true compassion known; then does criticism become impossible; then, only, is the divine germ seen as latent in all forms." GLAMOUR: A WORLD PROBLEM by Alice Bailey

"Freedom itself can be a prison. The true spiritual seeker is not completely free—he has responsibilities to the group. He is held to that group by a soul link." DISCIPLESHIP IN THE NEW AGE by Alice Bailey.

Spiritual growth is not achieved by simply giving 30 minutes a day to meditation. It involves an hour-by-hour attempt, all day long and every day, to keep the consciousness at as high a level as possible. It presumes a determination to consider oneself at all times as the soul, and increasingly, as part of a group, with no interests or desires, aims or wishes apart from the good of that group. It necessitates a constant watchfulness every hour of the day to prevent falling back into the lower vibration.

"The topic that I am going to consider now is one that affects us very closely: namely, the attainment by man of that group consciousness which is his goal, and the expansions of his little consciousness until it measures up to that greater one which enfolds it. You will remember that in trying to explain the difference between self-consciousness, group consciousness, and God consciousness, I illustrated it by pointing out that in the little atom of substance in the physical body, that tiny centralised life which goes to the constitution of the human form, we had a correspondence to the self-consciousness of the human being; that the life of the physical body, considering it in every one of its departments as a whole, is to that little self-contained cell what group consciousness is to us; and that the consciousness of the real man, the informing entity within the body is to that atom what God consciousness is to us, as inexplicable and as far removed." CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE ATOM by Alice Bailey

"The members of one's family upon the physical plane may or may not (in any particular incarnation) be also one's spiritual family.... One of the great lessons to be mastered by all disciples and perhaps one of the hardest is that trained recognition which recognises the spiritual family to which one belongs and this is seldom the same as the earthly family." DISCIPLESHIP IN THE NEW AGE VOLUME II by Alice Bailey.

"The practice of harmlessness is the best and easiest way for the aspirant to work. There is then nothing in him which is inimical to any life in any form, and he therefore attracts to himself only that which is beneficent. He uses the beneficent forces thus attracted for the helping of other beings. This has to be the first step, and the discipline it entails and the constant supervision of all the activities on the three planes of human evolution and of all reactions bring the emotional body under the dominance of the illumined mind. They also bring about the understanding of one's fellow men." TREATISE ON WHITE MAGIC by Alice Bailey

"With the one Life we shall not concern ourselves. We accept it as a basic truth and we realise that we are on our way back from the unity of form-identified existence, through the varying unfoldments of a conscious response to divine interplay and activity, to a final identification with the one Life. Form awareness has to give place to the qualified radiation of the self-conscious spiritual identity which is that of a son of God, appearing through form." ESOTERIC PSYCHOLOGY VOLUME ONE by Alice Bailey

"Meditation is the science which enables us to arrive at a direct experience of God... The whole object of meditation is to enable one to become in outer manifestation what he is in inner reality." FROM INTELLECT TO INTUITION by Alice Bailey

“A new and better way of life for all people everywhere in the world can become a reality in our time. Practical techniques in operation today can be learned and applied to the fulfillment of the divine plan for humanity.”

"Now the Great Invocation, as used by the Hierarchy itself, has been given out to the world. So reactionary is human thinking that the claim made by me that it is one of the greatest of the world's prayers and is on a par with the other voiced expressions of spiritual desire and intention will evoke criticism. That is of no importance. Only a few—a very few—in the early days of Christianity employed the Lord's Prayer, because it needed recording, expression in understandable terms, and adequate translation before its widespread use became possible. That effort took centuries to accomplish. Today, we have all the facilities for rapid distribution and these have all been employed on behalf of the Great Invocation." THE EXTERNALISATION OF THE HIERARCHY by Alice Bailey.

"The Great Invocation, rightly used by the many hundred thousand people who have already attempted to use it, could reorient the consciousness of humanity, stabilise men in spiritual being, disrupt and rebuild the planetary thoughtform which men have created in the past and which has had (and is having) such disastrous and cataclysmic results, and open the door into the New Age, thus ushering in the new and better civilisation. This could be done so rapidly, that the needed changes would come about almost overnight; the present reign of horror would end and the race of men could settle down to a life of group goodwill, individual harmlessness and right human relations." THE EXTERNALISATION OF THE HIERARCHY by Alice Bailey.

"As time progresses and before the close of the next century, death will be finally seen to be nonexistent in the sense in which it is now understood. Continuity of consciousness will be so widely developed, and so many of the highest types of men will function simultaneously in the two worlds, that the old fear will go and the intercourse between the astral plane and the physical plane will be so firmly established and so scientifically controlled that the work of the trance mediums will rightly and mercifully come to an end." ESOTERIC HEALING by Alice Bailey

"It is the limited vision of those identified with form which has so consistently nurtured the fear of death. The cycle in which we now live has seen the greatest destruction of human forms in the entire history of our planet. There has been no destruction of human beings. I would have you note this statement. Because of this wholesale destruction, humanity has made a very rapid advance towards a more serene attitude in connection with death. This is not yet apparent but—in a few years' time—the new attitude will begin to be marked and the fear of death will begin to die out in the world. This will also be largely due to the increased sensitivity of the human response apparatus, leading to a turning inward or to a new orientation of the human mind, with unpredictable results." ESOTERIC HEALING by Alice Bailey

"A demand rises to the very gates of Heaven; the massed intent of humanity is that evil must end and a better and truer life become possible. At the moment of greatest tension and of difficulty the demand goes forth. Response comes. The Avatar appears and light pours in, making the way clear. New hope awakens and fresh determinations are made. Strength to establish right relationships streams through the body of humanity, and mankind emerges into a more spacious life, conditioned by truer values. A fusion becomes possible between the outer world of daily living and the inner world of spiritual realities. A fresh influx of love and light is possible." THE EXTERNALISATION OF HIERARCHY by Alice Bailey

Join us for a LIVE broadcast of the WESAK FESTIVAL TALK & MEDITATION on Tuesday, April 27th at 7 PM EDT / 4 PM PDT. The live broadcast from New York City of this year's Wesak Festival Meeting comes available to you as a special opportunity for those who cannot attend the meeting to link up with the group. For those who do not have Internet access, you may call in to listen to the Wesak talk & participate in the group meditation via a regular phone line or a mobile phone at the scheduled time at this dial-in number 347-945-6174. We hope you will be able to join us during this spiritual time of the year as a form of group service in cooperation with the Spiritual Hierarchy. "At the time of this Wesak Festival, I would call your attention to the fact that the annual return of the Buddha to bless His people everywhere and to convey the message of wisdom, light and love to humanity—coming as He does from the very Heart of Deity Itself—is the outer evidence and guarantee of inner divine guidance and revelation in this present world cycle of 2500 years. Year by year He returns. For a brief minute He reminds us that God exists and ever loves; that He is not unmindful of His people; that the heart of the universe is unalterable compassion, and that man is not alone", from the book 'Externalization of the Hierarchy' by Alice Bailey.

"The human fear of death is primarily caused because the orientation of the kingdom of souls, the fifth kingdom in nature, has been (until relatively late in the world's cycle) towards form expression and towards the necessity of seeking experience through matter, in order eventually freely to control it. The percentage of the souls of those who are oriented away from expression in the three worlds is relatively so small, in proportion to the total number of souls demanding experience in the three worlds, that, until the cycle or era which we call the Christian, it might be stated that death reigned triumphant. Today, however, we are on the eve of seeing a complete change in this condition, owing to the fact that humanity—on a much larger scale than ever known before—is achieving a needed reorientation; the higher values and the life of the soul, as entered upon through the insistence of the mind in its higher and lower aspects, is beginning to control." ESOTERIC HEALING by Alice Bailey.
