Love your group members.


Give each other real love in the times that lie ahead, for it is the fusing and illuminating element in the life of the disciple. Let not your love remain theoretical but give that true understanding which ignores mistakes, recognizes no barriers, refuses all separating thoughts, and surrounds each other with that protecting wall of love that meets all need wherever possible – physical, emotional and mental.
It is this which blends the group into one organized whole, which the masters of wisdom can use in the service of the plan.
From "Discipleship in the new age vol 2 page 4" by Alice A Bailey

Affirmation of the Disciple






















I am a point of light within a greater Light.
I am a strand of loving energy within the stream of Love divine.
I am a point of sacrificial Fire, focused within the fiery Will of God.

And thus I stand

I am a way by which men may achieve.
I am a source of strength, enabling them to stand.
I am a beam of light, shining upon their way.

And thus I stand.

And standing thus, revolve
And tread this way the ways of men,
And know the ways of God.

And thus I stand.

Spiritual Festival of Christ

The Festival of Christ will be held on Sunday 7 Jun 2009

“Today, on World Invocation Day,

it is worth recalling the remarks of the Tibetan that if we use the Great Invocation “rightly”,

it can “reorient the consciousness of humanity” and stabilise it “in spiritual being”.

It can disrupt and rebuild the planetary thoughtform that has been created in the past,

one which “had and is having such disastrous and cataclysmic results”,

and open the door to a new and better world;

and that “this could be done so rapidly that the needed changes would come about almost overnight”.

While the strength of the combined efforts of all those who use the Great Invocation is undoubtedly being effective in disrupting the planetary thoughtform of selfish materialism,

it is vitally important to know that,

with a little more effort,

the needed changes for a new and better world could be with us right now.

This should serve as a powerful urge for us all to renew our resolve and dedication to the Plan and to earnestly seek to distribute the Great Invocation more widely as well as to deepen our understanding of its use.”

The "Mark of the Beast"






"A person descends to carrying the Mark of the Beast when he forfeits his destiny and is ruled by emotion or ego rather than mind or soul."

healing power and wisdom

Let us walk among all people with the full realization that we exist to impart the joyous Light of Love to every soul.
This is in reality the greatest privilege. For as we radiate that boundless love of God to every soul, our souls thrill with the Holy Spirit; we also feel the love of God for all humanity. To feel and know this) is to feel and know the Conquering Christ in all humanity.
This endows us with the healing power and wisdom that Jesus is endowed with.

The New Group of World Servers.



  • This group has been chosen by the Hierarchy as its main channel of expression.
  • This group, composed as it is of all world disciples and all working initiates, finds its representatives in every group of idealists and servers and in every body of people who express human thought, particularly in the realm of human betterment and uplift.
  • Through them, the potency of love-wisdom can express itself.
  • These people are frequently misunderstood, for the love which they express differs widely from the sentimental, affectionate personal interest of the average worker.
  • They are occupied mainly with the interests and the good of the whole group with which they may be associated; they are not primarily concerned with the petty interests of the individual — occupied with his little problems and concerns.
  • This brings such a server under the criticism of the individual and with this criticism they must learn to live and to it they must pay no attention.
  • True group love is of more importance than personal relationships, though those are met as need (note, I say, need) arises.
  • Disciples learn to grasp the need of group love and to amend their ways in conformity with group good, but it is not easy for the self-interested individual to grasp the difference.
  • Through the medium of those disciples who have learned the distinction between the petty concerns of the individual plus his interest in himself and the necessities and urgencies of group work and love, the Hierarchy can work and so bring about the needed world changes, which are primarily changes in consciousness.

ALICE A. BAILEY 1949

The disciple has to take himself as he is at any given time


My brothers,

let me repeat:

The disciple has to take himself as he is at any given time,

with any given equipment,

and under any given circumstances;

then he proceeds to subordinate himself, his affairs and his time to the need of the hour, particularly during a phase of group, national or world crisis.


When he does this within his own consciousness,

and is therefore thinking along lines of the true values,

he will discover that his own private affairs are taken care of,

his capacities are increased and his limitations are forgotten
