Product Description

Product Description

*The books of Alice A. Bailey, written in cooperation with a Tibetan teacher between 1919-1949, constitute a continuation of the Ageless Wisdom--a body of esoteric teaching handed down from ancient times in a form which is always suitable to each period. Intended to precede and condition the coming era, the Alice A. Bailey writings offer an unparalleled spiritual approach to such subjects as the teaching on Shamballa and the Path of spiritual evolution; the spiritual Hierarchy; the new discipleship and training in meditation as a form of service; the teaching on the seven rays and the new psychology of the soul; the teaching on esoteric astrology; and the new world religion, which emphasizes the common thread of truth linking all the major world faiths. Although this book was one of the first to be written by Alice Bailey in collaboration with the Tibetan, it is probably the most timeless, profound and least understood. "A Treatise on Cosmic Fire" deals with the underlying structure of occult teaching for the present era, with vast cosmic processes reproduced though all areas of life from universe to atom. It is, therefore, no book for the proof-demanding concrete mind, or for those who dabble in the spectacular and the phenomenal. The true student, however, the seriously applied aspirant, will find his mind stimulated and his consciousness expanded. The book is dedicated to Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, and is said to be "the psychological key to the Cosmic Creation". Certainly in its revelation of relationship and correspondences throughout the Cosmos, all aspects of life unfolding through consciousness are included, based on the aphorism - "Having pervaded the entire universe with one fragment of Myself, I remain." The One Life manifests through all form within the universe as fiery energy; and the three main streams of cosmic energy, differentiated into seven systemic rays, are shown in relation to the three aspects of fire controlling all manifested life: Electric Fire, the Fire of Spirit; Solar Fire, the Fire of Mind; Fire by Friction, the Internal Fires. A large section of the book is directed to a detailed exposition of Solar Fire, the Fire of Mind, since this is the dominant energy to be understood and controlled during this second solar system. The cosmic Laws operating through the system are shown in relation to the lesser laws of planetary origin and the laws of nature, operating through substance, as distinct from the life and the consciousness of the planet. In her foreword to the book, the author mentions a five-fold purpose within its teaching; briefly: (a) To provide a compact and skeleton outline of a scheme of cosmology, philosophy and psychology which may serve as a reference and textbook; (b) As an elucidation of the relation between Spirit and Matter, demonstrating as consciousness; (c) To show the coherent development of all that is found within a solar system and to demonstrate that everything evolves; (d) To give practical information about focal points of energy found in the etheric bodies of the Solar Logos, the macrocosm, and of man, the microcosm; (e) To give some information of the place and work of those sentient lives who form the essence of objectivity, and to indicate the nature of the Hierarchies of Existences who form out of their own substance all that is seen and known. These five objectives, and more, the book encompasses; for the effect in the individual consciousness is such that theories become transcended and the mind begins to experience through contemplative thought what the words on paper reveal to the intelligence. The finite human mind can touch its cosmic origins and its fiery essence when it opens to the three cosmic Laws of Synthesis, of Attraction and of Economy. The fire of love, the flame of life within the heart, is the touchstone for all intuitive thought, and the alchemist to the dense materiality of gross substance.

From the Author

An extract from the Tibetan teacher, written in 1934 briefly explains the intent of these teachings: "The books that I have written are sent out with no claim for their acceptance. They may, or may not, be correct, true and useful. It is for you to ascertain their truth by right practice and by the exercise of the intuition. Neither I nor A.A.B. is the least interested in having them acclaimed as inspired writing, or in having anyone speak of them (with bated breath) as being the work of one of the masters. If they present truth in such a way that it follows sequentially upon that already offered in the world teachings, if the information given raises the aspiration and the will-to-serve from the plane of the emotions to that of the mind (the plane whereon the Masters can be found) then they will have served their purpose. If the teaching conveyed calls forth a response from the illumined mind of the worker in the world, and brings a flashing forth of the intuition, then let that teaching be accepted. But not otherwise. If the statements meet with eventual corroboration, or are deemed true under the test of the Law of Correspondences, then that is well and good. But should this not be so, let not the student accept what is said." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

By Phil
Format:Hardcover
Mentally stimulating and spiritually satisfying, it complements such mind-benders as Dion Fortune's "Cosmic Doctrine" but goes way beyond that. Perhaps a little too far beyond for the practical person's taste. Certainly not a book for the superficial reader, or anyone unaquainted with the elements of Theosophical teaching. It conveys a conviction of truths which are fascinating in themselves and which lead the mind on to a truly Cosmic perspective.

Awesome 26 Nov 2005
Format:Paperback
This is the most awesome piece of esoteric literature I have ever come across.
The views presented by D.K. are so vast and complex that they blow you right off your socks.

This is not a book to be "understood" as in "1 + 1 = 2".
If you (or anyone) will develop further it will present you depths within depths, just like fractals do: without end.

As a very well respected lady told me: it is not just studying, Hans!

It will put you in your very very tiny place in the universe.
Therefore it should be no problem to buy this book in excellent condition second hand.

I am no theosophist, but non the less, if this is the quality Mrs. Bailey an D.K have to offer, all of their works will find there way to my bookshelf. God bless them!

A Book of Revelations 10 Feb 2012
By GJLeale
Format:Paperback
This is a staggering read. Not easy but profound. It was an amazing coincidence that I read this work shortly after discovering Electric Universe Theory and realised A treatise on Cosmic Fire described the Universe as an electrically powered system. Alice Bailey indicated that there were aspects of electricity we did not understand, illuminating the different kinds and how they filter through life via electromagnetics. It is amazing to chart the parallels between this book, cutting edge plasma cosmology and electric universe and to understand life accordingly.
The information in this book is still ahead of its time, indeed ahead of this time. I will read and refer to it over and again.
