"One of the things which the developed intuition can do is to break the glamour and illusion which invade the life. One of the things that a group of aspirants, whose intuitional interplay is established, can accomplish, is to aid in the work of smashing world glamour. Such work can be done when you have awakened the intuition, and when your inter-related understanding is firm and true. The Hierarchy will be able to use the world aspirants as an instrument for the breaking of group glamour wherever it may be found. I refer to this possibility in order to incite you all to more rapid and steady growth and effort."  GLAMOUR: A WORLD PROBLEM by Alice Bailey.

“The moral flabbiness born of the exclusive worship of the goddess success. That—with the squalid cash interpretation put on the word success—is our national disease.” (William James)

"Just as long as one identifies oneself with his emotions, just as one interprets life in terms of his moods and feelings, just as long as one reacts to desire, just so long will he have his moments of despair, darkness, doubt, distress and depression. They are due to the glamour of the emotional plane, which reverses and deceives." A TREATISE ON WHITE MAGIC by Alice Bailey.

"Clear thinking, a clear appraisal of causes and a loving outgoing to all, should distinguish all spiritual people at this time. Where this attitude doesn’t exist, there is the danger of falling into the trap of hatred and separativeness. This spells danger and illusion", from the book 'Externalisation of the Hierarchy' by Alice Bailey.
