The Ageless Wisdom has been progressively revealed over a vast period of time. As part of this continuing revelation, in the latter part of the nineteenth century, H. P. Blavatsky wrote a series of books, the most important being The Secret Doctrine: the Synthesis of Science, Religion, and Philosophy. These writings formed the basis of study of the Theosophical Society, a prominent, esoteric school which helped bridge the Eastern and Western cosmology and philosophy. From the 1920's to the 1950's Alice Bailey wrote twenty-four books of esoteric philosophy. Ms. Bailey also founded the Arcane School, an esoteric school which serves students from all over the world through correspondence from centers in New York, London and Geneva . Ms. Bailey and others also founded the Lucis Trust which, among other services, publishes the books. These books were written in English and have been translated into many other languages. You can obtain these books online by contacting Lucis Trust. It is now known that the true author of both the Secret Doctrine and the Alice Bailey books was in fact Djwhal Khul, the Tibetan as he is sometimes known. Both Bailey and Blavatsky produced the books through a kind of mental collaboration with the true author. Around the same time as Bailey's work, yet another series of books were being produced. Helena Roerich in collaboration with M. Morya brought forth the Agni Yoga Books. These books were originally written in Russian and later translated into English and published by the Agni Yoga Society in New York. Long accepted in western Europe and the United States there is a resurgence of interest in these books in Russia today where it is known as the "Living Ethics." You can obtain these books by writing to the Agni Yoga Society, 319 West 107th Street, New York, New York, 10025, USA. The two teachers, Djwhal Khul and Morya, though living with humans on Earth, are not strictly human. Both have been members of the fourth kingdom in nature, the Human Kingdom, and both have mastered that part of Earthly training and service. Both now form part of the fifth kingdom in nature, the Kingdom of Souls. They are both pledged to share the Ageless Wisdom with those members of the Human Kingdom who are responsive. While school members have studied the Secret Doctrine together, we have decided to "limit" our esoteric studies together to the Alice Bailey and Agni Yoga books. "Limit" was placed in quotations because the two series of books comprise such a vast area of teaching that one could spend lifetimes studying and applying those teachings. While the members of the School of Ageless Wisdom have a natural affinity for the two teachings we do not disparage any other teachings. We understand that there must be a wide variety of teachings available to compliment the great diversity within the Human Family. While the members of the School of Ageless Wisdom have great respect and gratitude for these two teachers and their teachings, we do not hold either to be the final authority. They have provided symbols, mostly word symbols which we study, meditate upon and apply in our lives. Truth comes through the symbol and Truth is its own authority. There is a quotation from Djwhal Khul in which he encourages this attitude in studying his teachings. Click the box on the left below to view it. The middle box will take you to a list of the Bailey books with a short synopsis of each one. The box on the right will take you to a list of the Agni Yoga books. |
