"Some wheels of life are turning just now, some already have turned, some will begin to turn at any moment. These forces in concert were called many things – Divine Providence, Fate, the Astrological Ages. All these names denote a kind of order, a dependable system which we don't quite fully understand but that we know is present." Z Budapest, 'Harmonizing with the Fates'

THE RAYS AND THE INITIATIONS
Alice A. Bailey
|
|
| 1 |
"All the varying aspects of the life of God are interdependent and not one proceeds onward into fuller realisation without benefiting the entire group."
|
|
| 2 |
"The circle with the point in the centre is symbolic of the perfected man. He is rounded out; he is inclusive both vertically (soul contact) and horizontally (human relationship)."
|
|
| 3 |
"All basic and fundamental changes taking place upon the physical plane are necessarily the result of inner subjective causes, emanating from the divine consciousness."
|
|
| 4 |
"The divine Mind spins the thread of connecting light and relates all beings into Itself."
|
|
| 5 |
"Bliss is associated with complete Being; it concerns the interior attitude of the Whole."
|
|
| 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 |
"Progress from a dimly lighted area in the divine manifestation into one of supernal glory is the story of the Path of Evolution."
|
|
| 8 |
"Synthesis is an attribute of the divine will and the outstanding quality of Deity."
|
|
| 9 |
"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."
|
|
| 10 |
"The future progress of humanity is aided and hastened because of the attainment and activity of the Christ."
|
|
| 11 |
"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."
|
|
| 12 |
"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."
|
|
| 13 |
"We are equally and essentially…expressions of the Monad, the One."
|
|
| 14 |
"Law, Love, Union or Synthesis – all these great energies have seeped into the human consciousness and now provide the platform upon which the new civilisation can be founded, the new approach to God be taken, and new human relations be implemented."
|
|
| 15 |
"We are all the children of God; we are all equally divine; we are all on our way to the revelation of divinity."
|
|
| 16 |
"Revelation concerns Oneness and nothing else. The practical nature of this truth is only recognized when the disciple attempts to do two things: to realise it individually, and to bring the nature of planetary unity and of non-separateness to the minds and into the lives of men everywhere."
|
|
| 17 |
"The quality of spirituality is Love."
|
|
| 18 |
"God is mind. God is intelligent functioning. God is creative activity….God is relationship. God is consciousness."
|
|
| 19 |
"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."
|
|
| 20 |
"Let the OM be heard right at the center of the group, proclaiming God is All."
|
|
| 21 |
"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."
|
|
| 22 |
"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."
|
|
| 23 |
"Realise practically that the souls of [humanity] are one, and learn to look beyond the immediate outer seeming to the inner spiritual consciousness."
|
|
| 24 |
"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."
|
|
| 25 |
"Pentecost…signifies the universal dissemination of the Christ consciousness throughout all time in the heart of every human being."
