Copyright © The Esoteric Quarterly, 2012. 3 The Esoteric Quarterly ALICE BAILEY TALKS n the course of her many activities as an esoteric teacher and writer, Alice I Bailey presented a series of regular Friday evening talks to students of the Arcane School. Fortunately, about 100 of these talks were transcribed and archived at the School for Esoteric Studies, and they include the informal discussions that took place during these talks. Thus they offer a fascinating glimpse of the personality of the co-worker with whom Master DK chose to work for 30 years – during which time we can see history being made. The School for Esoteric Studies has published nearly 40 of these talks, covering 1943 and 1944, online at their website: School for Esoteric Studies 345 S.

    BEING CONSCIOUS PART IV The Brow Chakra By Suzan Caroll PhD BEING CONSCIOUS PART IV The Brow Chakra www.multidimensions.com By Suzan Caroll PhD Published by Multidimensional Publishing Visit www.multidimenisons.com To view other, booklets, downloads, and products By Suzan Caroll PhD 2 THE THIRD DOOR The third door is marked: THOUGHTS We knock. As the door opens, a message is displayed: Our thoughts come into focus as our self-talk becomes conscious. This ability allows us to take responsibility for our thoughts, as we realize that we can choose which thoughts we allow to dwell in our minds. We learn that when we choose to think positive, our self- confidence grows and our thinking shifts from problem-oriented to solution- oriented. Old negative core beliefs break down, and we respond with new behavior rather than acting in old, habitual ways. When we are no longer victims, we can respond rather than react because we think before we speak or act. CHOOSING OUR THOUGHTS The Thoughts Door in the Conscious Section represents the Sixth, Brow Chakra. The Brow Chakra is also known as the Third Eye. Our Third Eye is the mind screen for our inner vision. As the Kundalini rises into the Sixth Chakra, our Third Eye will begin to open. Then the “Doorway to our Inner Life” will open as well. However, in order to step across the threshold of that door, we must raise our consciousness beyond the fear for survival and choose to direct our thinking towards expansion of our sense of self. In other words, we must learn to raise our consciousness by choosing our thoughts.

  • The Seven Sacred Bodies - Terms Excerpted from the Glossary of Empowerment
    The Corpus Christi - science of the rainbow body The Seven Sacred Bodies - terms excerpted from the Glossary of Empowerment By Richard Rudd The Corpus Christi — One of the journeys making up the Gene Keys Synthesis, the Corpus Christi is the complete science of the ‘Rainbow Body’ — the true underlying nature of all human beings. The Corpus Christi is a synthesis of transmissions, teachings and techniques that underpins the 64 Gene Keys. Representing the higher ‘Mystery School’ teachings of the Gene Keys, it includes the teaching of the Seven Seals, the Seven Sacred Bodies and the Nine Initiations. Deep immersion in the teachings of the Corpus Christi assists you in grounding and embodying the higher frequencies of light into your everyday life. These are the teachings and techniques that allow you to draw the transmission of the Gene Keys layer by layer into the subtle bodies that make up your aura. Literally meaning ‘The Body of Christ’, the Corpus Christi prepares you to work with higher evolutionary frequencies by progressively purifying the many dimensions of your inner being, beginning with your physical body. The 1st Sacred Body - The Physical/Etheric Body Etheric Body — Sometimes known as the ‘etheric double’, the etheric body is the counterpart of your physical body, extending out beyond it into the aura. As the closest of the subtle bodies to the physical, the etheric body is quite well understood by many cultures, in particular in its relationship to our physical health. Systems such as acupuncture or energy medicine work directly on the etheric body, which consists of a vast network of subtle pathways, meridians or ‘nadis’, which create the fundamental grid of the aura.

    Om: One God Universal A Garland of Holy Offerings * * * * * * * * Viveka Leads To Ānanda VIVEKNANDA KENDRA PATRIKĀ Vol. 22 No. 2: AUGUST 1993 Represented By Murari and Sarla Nagar Truth is One God is Truth . God is One Om Shanti Mandiram Columbia MO 2001 The treasure was lost. We have regained it. This publication is not fully satisfactory. There is a tremendous scope for its improvement. Then why to publish it? The alternative was to let it get recycled. There is a popular saying in American academic circles: Publish or Perish. The only justification we have is to preserve the valuable contents for posterity. Yet it is one hundred times better than its original. We have devoted a great deal of our time, money, and energy to improve it. The entire work was recomposed on computer. Figures [pictures] were scanned and inserted. Diacritical marks were provided as far as possible. References to citations were given in certain cases. But when a vessel is already too dirty it is very difficult to clean it even in a dozen attempts. The original was an assemblage of scattered articles written by specialists in their own field. Some were extracted from publications already published. It was issued as a special number of a journal. It needed a competent editor. Even that too was not adequate unless the editor possessed sufficient knowledge of and full competence in all the subject areas covered. One way to make it correct and complete was to prepare a kind of draft and circulate it among all the writers, or among those who could critically examine a particular paper in their respective field.

In all three, identically the same method has been followed: some forty volumes, mostly from the pens of Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater, recognised to-day as the authorities par excellence on the Ancient wisdom in its guise of modern Theosophy, have been carefully searched for data connected with the mental body; those data have been classified, arranged and presented to the student in a form as coherent and sequential as the labours of the compiler have been able to make it.

  • Voices of Fire -- Spiritual Entities and Personality
    VOICES OF FIRE – SPIRITUAL ENTITIES AND PERSONALITY by David K. Stolowitz, B.A. Abstract This essay is part of an ongoing research and writing project exploring the metaphysical nature and identity of the entities acknowledged as gods and spirits by polytheistic religions. It reintroduces the ancient metaphysical field of daemonology as an important element within philosophy and mysticism. Emanation Theory, as expounded by traditions such as the Qabala and Neoplatonism, is used as a context for understanding the multifaceted natures and roles of the polytheistic gods. The Astral/Formative plane as a medium for the personalization of the ‘secondary causes,’ and human relationship with them, is discussed. Les Voix du Feu – Entités Spirituelles et Personnalité David K. Stolowitz, B.A. Résumé Cet essai fait partie d’une recherche en cours et d’un projet d’écriture pour explorer la nature métaphysique et l’identité des entités reconnues comme dieux et esprits par les religions polythéistes. Il réintroduit l’ancien champ métaphysique de démonologie comme un élément important dans la philosophie et le mysticisme. La Théorie de l’Émanation telle qu’exposée par les traditions comme la Kabbale et le Néoplatonisme est utilisée comme contexte pour comprendre les natures à multiples facettes et les rôles des dieux polythéistes. Le plan Astral/Formatif comme milieu pour la personnalisation des « causes secondaires » et de la relation humaine avec eux est discutée. Voces de Fuego – Entes Espirituales y la Personalidad David K.
