THE RAYS AND THE INITIATIONS
Alice A. Bailey
|
|
| 1 |
"Love, in a mysterious way, is the principle found at the heart of every atom."
|
|
| 2 |
"The will-to-good of the world knowers is the magnetic seed of the future."
|
|
| 3 |
"All the varying aspects of the life of God are interdependent and not one proceeds onward into fuller realisation without benefiting the entire group."
|
|
| 4 |
"Realise practically that the souls of [humanity] are one, and learn to look beyond the immediate outer seeming to the inner spiritual consciousness."
|
|
| 5 |
"Love is a word for the underlying motive of creation."
|
|
| 6 |
"Religion is the name given to the invocative appeal of humanity and the evocative response of the greater Life to that cry. It is, in fact, the recognition by the part of its relationship to the Whole, plus a constantly growing demand for increased awareness of that relation."
|
|
| 7 |
"All basic and fundamental changes taking place upon the physical plane are necessarily the result of inner subjective causes, emanating from the divine consciousness."
|
|
| 8 |
"The divine creative Plan is motivated by love and intelligently carried forward."
|
|
| 9 |
"The urge-to-good pervades every aspect of the planetary Life from the smallest atom of substance, through all the intermediate living forms, on and up to the Logos Himself."
|
|
| 10 |
"Progress from a dimly lighted area in the divine manifestation into one of supernal glory is the story of the Path of Evolution."
|
|
| 11 |
"From synthesis to synthesis the life of God passes. First the synthesis of the atomic lives into ever more perfect forms until the three kingdoms of nature appear [mineral, vegetable, animal]; then the synthesis in consciousness, enabling the human being to enter into the larger awareness of the Whole."
|
|
| 12 |
"All form a great interlocking directorate through which the will of God is working out."
|
|
| 13 |
"There is no death. There is only progress from glory to glory, a moving forward from point to point on the divine Way, and from revelation to revelation towards those points and revelations which are part of the Goal of God."
|
|
| 14 |
"Bliss is associated with complete Being; it concerns the interior attitude of the Whole."
|
|
| 15 |
"Seek those new attitudes and those new creative approaches which will result not alone in the building of the individual, but also in the fusion of the many 'radiant strands' which will produce those 'connecting cables', speaking symbolically, which will relate the planetary centres and present the medium along which can pass the fiery will and the predetermined purpose of Deity. This will bring about the reconstruction of the manifested worlds, and in this task each and every one of you can have his share."
|
|
| 16 |
"In the coming new cycle the emphasis will be upon group work and activity, upon group initiation and group approach to the Center of Life."
|
|
| 17 |
"Behind all the successive revelations of divinity down the ages is to found one significant purpose; all of them are and will prove themselves to be aspects of the Great Revelation."
|
|
| 18 |
"The divine Mind spins the thread of connecting light and relates all beings into Itself."
|
|
| 19 |
"Synthesis dictates the trend of all the evolutionary processes today; all is working towards larger unified blocs, towards amalgamations, international relationships, global planning, brotherhood, economic fusion, the free flow of commodities everywhere, interdependence, fellowship of faiths, movements based upon the welfare of humanity as a whole, and ideological concepts which deal with wholes and which militate against division, separation and isolation."
|
|
| 20 |
"The will is a penetrating power which relates Plan to Purpose and which has in it the faculty of coherent persistence. The reason for this persistence is that it is not dependent upon the content of the form – whether it is the form of an atom, of a man or of a planet – but upon a vital dynamic and immutable purpose, latent in the consciousness of the Being Who 'having pervaded this entire universe with a fragment' of Himself, remains – greater…and firmer in intent than any of His creations, even the most advanced."
|
|
| 21 |
"Divinity is all there is."
|
|
| 22 |
"We must seek to understand the sum total in the light of the part, the Macrocosm in the light of the Microcosm."
|
|
| 23 |
"Oneness is the major characteristic of the Universal Mind."
|
|
| 24 |
"Let the OM be heard right at the center of the group, proclaiming God is All."
|
|
| 25 |
"The birth hour may be long and the form may be 'in labour' for much time, but the Christ will be born and the nature of the Christ and His consciousness will permeate and colour all human affairs."
