"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.

"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 message of the birth of Christ rings ever new but is not today understood. The age of Aquarius will see the Rising Light, of which the Christ is the eternal symbol. The ancient story of the Birth will become universalised and be seen as the story of every disciple and initiate who takes the first initiation and, in his time and place, becomes a server and a lightbearer." THE DESTINY OF THE NATIONS by Alice Bailey

Everything in the three worlds is a reflection of that which is found in the heavenly realms and much may be gained through a comprehension of the great aphorism, "As above, so below." THE LIGHT OF THE SOUL by Alice Bailey

"The one thing humanity needs today is the realisation that there IS a Plan which is definitely working out thru all world happenings. To the spiritual Hierarchy, the Plan involves those arrangements or circumstances which will raise and expand the consciousness of humanity and enable men to discover the spiritual values for themselves and to make the needed changes of their own free will." THE EXTERNALISATION OF THE HIERARCHY by Alice Bailey

"The whole theme of “the garment of God” is related to the emergence into manifestation of His “robe of beauty” as it is created and brought into being humanity. The human kingdom acts as the medium for ideas which then influence the lower kingdoms and swing them into creative cooperation." RAYS AND THE INITIATIONS by Alice Bailey.
