Letters on Occult Meditation
Tietoa tästä e-kirjasta
word occultism is used in the Alice Bailey books with one specific meaning: The study
of that which is hidden. In occult meditation we learn to penetrate into
hitherto veiled dimensions of consciousness, discovering the threefold function
of the mind and the qualities of the true inner self, the soul. This type of
meditation is particularly concerned with energy flow - energy
which is impersonal and fiery in nature. Its potential dangers should therefore
be understood and avoided, and practices adopted which are safe and
trustworthy. This book sets out the basic principles of occult meditation,
showing its overall objective to be planetary service.

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.”
