Alice
A. Bailey (1880‑1949)
From
her conservative British background, Alice Bailey=s life led her in many
directions, but always in one direction-towards the time when through
drastic personal experience of many kinds she had acquired a synthesis of
outlook and understanding, and an absolute conviction that one divine life
pervades and animates the one humanity; that the Plan for humanity requires the
cooperation and service of trained and dedicated human beings intelligently
informed about world affairs, in collaboration with those who form the
spiritual Hierarchy, the inner government of the planet. Her life work became
an integral part of this synthesis and this realization. Without in the least
losing any of her very human qualities and involvement, her soul took up its
commitment to her Master, and her personality provided full cooperation in the
field of her accepted service.
Basically
her work developed as a duality-her discipleship service which
included the establishment of an esoteric school; and her initially reluctant
agreement to work with the Tibetan, Djwhal Khul, in the writing of a series of
books presenting the next phase in the continuity of the Ageless Wisdom
teaching for the present and the immediate future.
