THE RAYS AND THE INITIATIONS
Alice A. Bailey

"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."
|
|
| 2 |
"This evolutionary pushing forward along the Lighted Way, out of darkness into light, from the unreal to the real, and from death to immortality, is an inherent urge in all forms."
|
|
| 3 |
"Divinity is all there is."
|
|
| 4 |
"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."
|
|
| 5 |
"Bliss is associated with complete Being; it concerns the interior attitude of the Whole."
|
|
| 6 |
"All form a great interlocking directorate through which the will of God is working out."
|
|
| 7 |
"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."

|

"We are all the children of God; we are all equally divine; we are all on our way to the revelation of divinity."
|
|
| 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."
|
|

"Freedom is an essentially spiritual attribute, underlying the entire evolutionary process; this should always be remembered as a strengthening and conditioning reality by all men everywhere. It has survived aeons of opposition from the principle of enslaving selfishness and is largely responsible, at this time, for the struggle in which we are all participating."
|
|
| 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 |
"Realise practically that the souls of [humanity] are one, and learn to look beyond the immediate outer seeming to the inner spiritual consciousness."
|
|
| 13 |
"The divine Mind spins the thread of connecting light and relates all beings into Itself."
|
|
| 14 |
"The history of evolution upon the Earth, from the angle of humanity, is one of progress, emphatic revolutionary decisions and climaxing crises. Without such a history we should not realise the progress made and the steady though gradual growth of sensitive response to environment, to contact and to impressions – mental and spiritual."
|
|
| 15 |
"Progress from a dimly lighted area in the divine manifestation into one of supernal glory is the story of the Path of Evolution."
|
|
| 16 |
"The principle of freedom is a leavening energy which can permeate substance in a unique manner;….This principle of freedom is one of the attributes of Deity (like will, love and mind)."
|
|
| 17 |
"The task of the Christ…is to establish relationships."
|
|
| 18 |
"The nature of the One must be grasped and comprehended."
|
|
| 19 |
"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."
|
|
| 20 |
"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."
|
|
| 21 |
"We must seek to understand the sum total in the light of the part, the Macrocosm in the light of the Microcosm."
|
|
| 22 |
"Pentecost…signifies the universal dissemination of the Christ consciousness throughout all time in the heart of every human being."
|
|
| 23 |
"The unfoldment of the love nature is that which opens the door which leads to the Way of the Higher Evolution and nothing else will open it."
|
|
| 24 |
"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."
|
|
| 25 |
"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."
