Up to now, the so-called esoteric schools have dealt with aspirants on the Path of Probation or Purification.  The schools now forming, such as the Arcane School, are concerned with training disciples and preparing them to tread the Path of Discipleship.   What is the Path of Discipleship?  What is a true esoteric school?  Is the Arcane School an esoteric school?  Who founded it and what kind of training does it provide?  Does an esoteric school have a specific relevance in today’s world?

"Remember that the entire story of evolution is the story of consciousness, and of a growing expansion of the "becoming-aware" principle, so that from the microscopic interest of the self-conscious man—for we shall retain the parable within the confines of the fourth kingdom in nature—we have a slowly developing inclusiveness which finally leads him into the consciousness of the cosmic Christ." ESOTERIC PSYCHOLOGY VOLUME ONE by Alice Bailey.

"Dimly sensed by the evolving human consciousness hovers another emerging truth of a larger nature—larger [Page 406] because related to the Whole and not just to individual man and his personal salvation. It is an extension of the individual approach to truth. Let us call it the truth of the Great Cyclic Approaches of the divine to the human of which all world Teachers and Saviours were the symbol and the guarantee. At certain great moments, down the ages, God drew nearer to His people and humanity (blindly and unconscious of their objective) at the same time made great efforts to draw near to God. On the part of God, this was intentional, conscious and deliberate; on the part of man, it was largely unconscious, forced upon him by the tragedy of circumstance, by desperate need and by the driving urge of the collective soul." THE EXTERNALISATION OF THE HIERARCHY by Alice Bailey.

"A friend of mine felt that I would really render a service if I could show people how I become what I am from what I was. It might be useful to know how a rabid Christian worker could become a well-known (esoteric) teacher. People might learn much by discovering how a theologically minded Bible student could come to the firm conviction that the teachings of the East and of the West must be fused and blended before the true and universal religion—for which the world waits—could appear on earth." THE UNFINISHED AUTOBIOGRAPHY by Alice Bailey.
