THE RAYS AND THE INITIATIONS
Alice A. Bailey
|
|
| 1 |
"The Laws of the universe are the modes of expression, the life impulses and the way of existence or activity of the One in Whom we live and move and have our being."
|
|
| 2 |
"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."
|
|
| 3 |
"Individual purpose must be identified with group purpose which is as much of the purpose of the Whole or the One Life as the little life can grasp at any given point in time and space."
|
|
| 4 |
"God is mind. God is intelligent functioning. God is creative activity….God is relationship. God is consciousness."
|
|
| 5 |
"Divinity is all there is."
|
|
| 6 |
"Coherency, affecting lives, forms and substances, is an expression of will and purpose, motivated by love and implemented intelligently in carrying forward the plans through which the Purpose seeks expression."
|
|
| 7 |
"Life is one and naught can ever take or touch that life."
|
|
| 8 |
"All the varying aspects of the life of God are interdependent and not one proceeds onward into fuller realisation without benefiting the entire group."
|
|
| 9 |
"Life is loving synthesis in action."
|
|
| 10 |
"The nature of the One must be grasped and comprehended."
|
|
| 11 |
"The goal of all the initiatory process is to admit mankind into realisation of and identification with the will or purpose of Deity."
|
|
| 12 |
"All that we can contact and know is interdependent, and the unfoldment of the Life in Whom we live and move and have our being affects every aspect."
|
|
| 13 |
"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."
|
|
| 14 |
"The divine creative Plan is motivated by love and intelligently carried forward."
|
|
| 15 |
"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."
|
|
| 16 |
"All basic and fundamental changes taking place upon the physical plane are necessarily the result of inner subjective causes, emanating from the divine consciousness."
|
|
| 17 |
"The goal of the initiate is identification with all forms of the divine life, so that he can know himself to be an integral part of that Whole and can tune in on all states of divine awareness, knowing for himself (and not just theoretically) they they are also his own states of awareness."
|
|
| 18 |
"Evil is after all only an impelling sense of difference, leading inevitably to separative action."
|
|
| 19 |
"There is in the last analysis but one world and one humanity."
|
|
| 20 |
"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."
|
|
| 21 |
"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."
|
|
| 22 |
"The steady pulsation of the evolutionary rhythm permeates every atom, form, group and centre, producing effect upon the lowest forms of existence and on and up to the very highest; there is naught anywhere but progress and a steady moving forward into clearer light and greater livingness."
|
|
| 23 |
"Bliss is associated with complete Being; it concerns the interior attitude of the Whole."
|
|
| 24 |
"We are equally and essentially…expressions of the Monad, the One."
|
|
| 25 |
"The nature of the soul is relationship."
