soulconsciousness

"For the remaining years of life, there should be an increasingly strong relationship between the soul and its vehicles, leading to another crisis between the fifty-sixth or the sixty-third years.  According to that crisis will depend the future usefulness of the person and whether the ego continues to use the vehicles on into old age, or whether there is a gradual withdrawal of the indwelling entity."  ESOTERIC PSYCHOLOGY VOL. II by Alice Bailey.

"In your hours of loneliness, and when you realise that life for you is mainly a waiting process, you are apt to forget these two facts which I have brought to your attention. Fight not against disability or against what the world calls "old age." This is a thing you are very apt to do, and it is a normal reaction. Why not welcome Transition? Learn to glory in experience, which is the gift of wise old age, and look forward to the Great Adventure which confronts you. You know well—in your highest moments—that that Transition means realisation without any physical plane limitations."  DISCIPLESHIP IN THE NEW AGE by Alice Bailey.

"As to Karma, what man has made he can unmake. This is oft forgotten. Karma is not a hard and fast rule. It is changeable, according to man's attitude and desire. It is the presenting of the opportunity to change; this grows out of past activities, and these rightly met and correctly handled lay the foundation for future happiness and progress. The present situation is the fault of all peoples in all countries (particularly the more intelligent) and includes also the great neutrals if the Law of Rebirth and of joint responsibility means anything at all. Karma is not all that is bad and evil. Men make it so through their stupidities." EXTERNALISATION OF THE HIERARCHY by Alice Bailey.

The soul is the force of evolution itself--this was in the mind of St. Paul when he spoke of the "Christ in you, the hope of glory." What is the soul? How do you define it? How do we recognize the soul?

"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.

"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

"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.

"The higher self exists, and finally and inevitably must gain the victory over the lower self. One of the things that is happening today is the [Page 140] discovery of the existence of this higher self, and many are the testimonies to its nature and qualities. Through a consideration of the self in every man we are steadily approximating an understanding of divinity." FROM BETHLEHEM TO CALVARY by Alice Bailey

"We must all learn to look upon death as an act of restitution. When we can do this, it will take on new light and become an integral part of a constant living process." ESOTERIC HEALING by Alice Bailey

"Death, if we could but realize it, is one of our most practised activities. We have died many times, and shall die again and again. Just as soon as we know ourselves to be souls, we shall no longer know death." ESOTERIC HEALING by Alice Bailey

"When one is no longer deluded by appearance, he discovers his soul, the product of the union of his Father in heaven with the Mother or material nature—the personality. He then, having discovered the personality, discovers the quality of his own soul life, and the purpose for which he has “appeared”." ESOTERIC PSYCHOLOGY VOLUME ONE by Alice Bailey.

"The Road is trodden in the full light of day, thrown upon the Path by Those Who know and lead. Naught can then be hidden, and at each turn, a man must face himself." From the book DISCIPLESHIP IN A NEW AGE VOLUME ONE by Alice Bailey.
