Book Description

May 1972 A Treatise on the Seven Rays
*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. *There are probably more individuals and groups of people in the world of every shade of belief and capacity, devoted to the idea of healing than to any other single human need. Yet healing is an exact, and an exacting, science; and in modern society no physician or surgeon may practice the ancient profession of healing without the personal qualifications legally recognised by the State for the protection of the public. No doubt prayer and invocation can be effective under certain circumstances, particularly when the one who serves is pure and harmless in motive, and has enough understanding to cooperate with the soul purposes of the individual, so permitting the healing energy of the soul to flow more freely and effectively through the personality, or to proceed with the process of withdrawal, if that is its immediate purpose. Esoteric healing, however, includes far more than this; its is a science based on a number of requirements, including knowledge of the constitution of man and the nature of the various bodies, both dense and subtle. To this practical knowledge, the science of occultism contributes vital information of the energy factors, the karmic and ray influences, the psychology and astrology of the soul, and the laws and rules fundamental to the safe and successful practice of esoteric healing. With all this to encompass in understanding and in application, little wonder that this science is as yet in its infancy, still in the experimental stages, and with other aspects of esotericism due for major development only as the soul in man takes a stronger hold of all personality affairs. In this book the seven ray techniques of healing are described; the laws and rules of healing are enumerated and discussed; the requirements for healing are given in detail; and basic causes of disease are shown. We learn, for example, that much disease can be karmic in origin; that certain diseases are inherent in the soil and in the substance of the planet; and that many others are psychological, arising in the emotional or mental bodies. Hence the need for a total and comprehensive understanding both of the patient and of the correct and safe methods of healing. We are also given a true understanding of death as the abstraction, or the withdrawal, of the soul from the body to continue life on its own plane without the limitation of the body, until a new cycle of incarnation and experience in form is necessary. In the effort to apply the teaching given in "Esoteric Healing", those whose destiny lies in this area of human service will begin to unfold the spiritual faculty necessary for the healing of the whole man. And this will increasingly concern groups of workers using the magnetic and radiatory power of group energy and invocation. The right practice of esoteric healing conforms, therefore, to the new age development of group consciousness, and the establishment of right energy relationships which underlies all aspects of esoteric training in the world today. Not only the potential healer, but all occultists will learn much from a study of "Esoteric Healing".

From the Publisher

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.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love and Compassion--Not Prejudice: The Soul as Healer 22 Jun 2002
By Michael D Robbins - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The soul is a great spiritual reality--the source of all that is good, noble, true and healthy in the life of the human individual (the personality). The soul is the true healer. As the Tibetan Teacher, Djwhal Khul says, is his superb volume on the art and science of esoteric healing, "All disease is the result of inhibited soul life". The task of healers in the New Age will be to promote the flow of soul energy through the personality--sweeping away the miasms of mind, emotions and body.

The Tibetan Teacher is a Master on the second ray--the Ray of Love-Wisdom. He is known for His profound understanding of the human energy system--spiritually, psychologically and physically. His 'secretary' Alice Bailey--a woman of great illumination, compassion and understanding worked with Master DK for thirty years and produced these wonderful volumes of esoteric thought, thus laying the groundwork for many arts and sciences which will grow and flourish in the Aquarian Age.

The Tibetan's perspective is vast. He views the world as an initiate of the fifth degree. He is beyond prejudice and pettiness, no matter how some readers may interpret his often frank words. His task is to see and reveal truth to those who can respond. The causes of disease are known to Him and these He must isolate--in individuals and groups. Many nations, groups and individuals have come under his luminous scrutiny. Many have not liked what they have read, considering it erroneous or prejudiced because it is so clear and frank.

Because of His clear analysis of the virtues and strengths of the Jewish People, and also of elements of character requiring transmutation, the charge of anti-Semitism has been leveled at the Tibetan and at Alice Bailey, too. Nothing could be further from the truth. Some of the Tibetan's closest cooperators were Jewish, and several among Alice Bailey's most trusted friends and co-workers were Jewish. I, who write this, am also a Jew.

All groups of people, all individuals, have over a long incarnational past made mistakes. No individual or group is immune. It is far better to understand and correct these errors (based upon astrological and ray energies) that to accuse the source that points them out.

A really fair reading of Alice Bailey's work will reveal the utter falsity of such charges. The Tibetan's writings and hers, resound with compassion for the entire human race, and with the loving-will to see the human condition raised into a state of true spirituality.

We ordinary people (not yet initiates of high degree, not yet Masters of the Wisdom) have our own prejudices arising out of the limitations of our perceptions. If we want to advance spiritually and be really useful, we will have to broaden our point of view, and avoid responding personally and emotionally to statements with which we disagree.

Who is the Jew? Who is the Gentile? Who is the Oriental? We are all one humanity and as reincarnating souls we could incarnate in any race, national or cultural group.

A great healing for humanity will occur when we learn to see things from the perspective of the soul. We will see the things which have to be corrected and, without personal reaction, we will take the necessary action.

The Tibetan Master assisted Helena P. Blavatsky as He did Alice Bailey--to bring forward a new teaching which emphasizes brotherhood and the one soul of humanity. On the way to that brother/sisterhood and unity, let us be frank about our shortcomings--as individuals, as groups, as nations, as races--there is much to be improved, and it is within our power to take the needed steps.

As a Jew, I affirm the love, compassion and wisdom of the great Teacher known to us as Djwhal Khul, and I equally affirm these qualities in his trusted co-worker Alice Bailey. Whoever refuses to read and understand the great Teaching given by the Tibetan and AAB because of a suspicion of prejudice and, especially, of anti-Semitism, will deprive themselves of a priceless revelation of illumined wisdom.

Sincerely,

Michael D. Robbins, Ph.D.
President
University of the Seven Rays

5.0 out of 5 stars The source book for esoteric healing by a Master Teacher. 24 Sep 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
An original presentation by the Tibetan D.K. (with Alice Bailey as the scribe) on the basic causes of disease, the basic requirements for healing, and the ten laws of healing. This book has profound depth and wisdom--a priceless gift from one of humanity's Great Teachers. After studying Esoteric Healing, counseling and teaching healing techniques for thirty years, I attempted to present a few of the Tibetan's principles in a simple style along with intuitive impressions on healing I had received. But Esoteric Healing is Truth in pure form! Highly recommended for the sincere esoteric student.

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential for anyone into Healing. 30 Jun 2001
By Dr Geo - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is much more valuable than it may first seem, being one among many AAB books with a lot of technical detail to challenge the disciple on the Path. It is also a useful tool for healing groups; especially those performing "absent healing" or "rescue" work. However, I like it as is, and see it has made a significant base-contribution to the now booming New Age industry of spiritual healing.

We all want to have perfect health. As spiritual healers we would like to return the patient to perfect health. This book explains that health is closely related to the relation between higher self and lower self of the patient. If there is discord between higher and lower aspects of the person illness results. Is healing as simple as aligning the patient's inner self so that higher and lower self are not at war with each other? At one level it is that simple, but at the practical level there are obviously rules and techniques to be acquired and practised by the healer. This book sets down "rules" and "laws" for esoteric healing. In explaining these, I believe it has a systematic and elevated approach to energy healing.

Whether it was the Master DK speaking through Alice Bailey doesn't matter. The fruits of the book are in that it holds the practical, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual keys to healing. Over many years I have found this to be valid, and although I am not yet a perfected soul, I can affect minor cures, or assist folks to heal themselves of greater ailments. Finally, it is pleasing to see commonsense does not preclude ordinary medicine out-of-hand for what it is worth, since we have:-

"Rule Four": A careful diagnosis of disease, based on the ascertained outer symptoms, will be simplified to this extent - that once the organ involved is known and thus isolated, the centre in the etheric body which is in closest relation to it will be subjected to methods of occult healing, though the ordinary, ameliorative, medical or surgical methods will not be withheld.
