THE RAYS AND THE INITIATIONS
Alice A. Bailey

"There is in the last analysis but one world and one humanity."
|
|
| 2 |
"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."
|
|
| 3 |
"The nature of the One must be grasped and comprehended."
|
|
| 4 |
"The goal of all the initiatory process is to admit mankind into realisation of and identification with the will or purpose of Deity."
|
|
| 5 |
"Humanity is today on the verge of major awakening and joint registration of a unity not hitherto reached; the growth of the spirit of internationalism, the inclusiveness of the scientific attitude, and the spread of a universal humanitarian welfare movement are all indicative of this meeting place."
|
|
| 6 |
"All form a great interlocking directorate through which the will of God is working out."
|
|
| 7 |
"Obedience to the Plan brings revelation of the hidden Purpose."
|
|
| 8 |
"Number gives the clue to the form and purpose of the life which the form veils."
|
|
| 9 |
"The future progress of humanity is aided and hastened because of the attainment and activity of the Christ."
|
|
| 10 |
"Evil is after all only an impelling sense of difference, leading inevitably to separative action."
|
|
| 11 |
"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."
|
|
| 12 |
"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)."
|
|
| 13 |
"The divine Mind spins the thread of connecting light and relates all beings into Itself."
|
|
| 14 |
"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."
|
|
| 15 |
"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."
|
|
| 16 |
"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."
|
|
| 17 |
"Oneness is the major characteristic of the Universal Mind."
|
|
| 18 |
"The task of the Christ…is to establish relationships."
|
|
| 19 |
"The divine creative Plan is motivated by love and intelligently carried forward."
|
|
| 20 |
"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."
|
|
| 21 |
"Love, in a mysterious way, is the principle found at the heart of every atom."
|
|
| 22 |
"Pentecost…signifies the universal dissemination of the Christ consciousness throughout all time in the heart of every human being."
|
|
| 23 |
"Progress from a dimly lighted area in the divine manifestation into one of supernal glory is the story of the Path of Evolution."
|
|
| 24 |
"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."
|
|
| 25 |
"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."
