La meditación, en sentido ocultista, no es sólo la técnica de entrenamiento para la mente, sino el medio para lograr el alimento, la unión y la identificación con el alma, con el Cristo y, finalmente, con el Padre. A diferencia de la experiencia de la unión mística, la meditación ocultista establece un proceso científico, por el cual las causas puestas en movimiento producirán efectos identificables, que pueden repetirse a voluntad. Esta técnica debe ser dominada por la mente; implica una intensa actividad mental, seguida de una quietud absoluta, más la capacidad de controlar y ordenar la mente de tal modo, que comience a actuar o se aquiete para reflexionar a voluntad.
Pease note: this is a different author from Alice Bailey.
Alice A. Bailey (1880-1949) was an English esoteric practitioner and writer. At the age of 35, she entered the Theosophical Society center in Los Angeles (USA), at the Pacific Grove Theosophical Lodge. In 1919, Bailey (39 years old) severed her ties to the Theosophical Society and began to write texts that he claimed were dictated telepathically by a certain "Tibetan," or "D. K. ». She published those texts under the title Human and Solar Initiation. There she made known the existence of the spiritual hierarchy, which Madame Blavatsky had already spread, although not in an orderly way. She later revealed that the Tibetan D.K. was the master Djwal Khul. She wrote using the teacher's name for 30 years, from 1919 until her death in 1949.
The Bailey books have been a part of my basic study, meditation and application for many years. They've been read, re-read, used for research and for group discussion. This was the first to "fall" into my hands, and the others have been read over the years. They comprise a basic esoteric teaching that goes back thousands if not millions of years... this is my understanding, of course, and not meant to be a proselytizing statement.
Not a book you ever “finish” reading. Like all of the books from the Tibetan Master it is one you read slowly to truly digest the material and re-read several times.
This book contains a lot of practical information and “hints” for those on the Path.
This book has been important in my metaphysical/spiritual studies. I first read it decades ago and often go to it to look something up or read a snip-it. This month I decided to re-read it, cover to cover. The description on the Goodreads main page for this book is a joke or a colossal error. Goodreads, please fix it! This book has nothing to do with diabetes or the description provided.
