DISCIPLESHIP IN THE NEW AGE VOLUME 1

Alice A. Bailey

HOW MANY WOULD-BE DISCIPLES ARE CONVINCED OF THEIR WORTHINESS TO RECEIVE DIRECT TRAINING FROM A MASTER OF THE WISDOM? HOW FEW ARE ABLE TO ABSORB THE INTENSE PRESSURES OF THE EXPERIENCE AND TO PROFIT FROM THE OPPORTUNITY! IN THE FIRST PART OF VOLUME 1 SOME OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE HIERARCHICAL PLAN AND THE PLACE OF SERVICE OF DISCIPLESHIP GROUPS ARE CLEARLY SHOWN IN RELATIONSHIP. THE "SIX STAGES OF DISCIPLESHIP" IN THE FINAL PART OF THE BOOK SHOW THE SEQUENCE OF GROWTH IN CONSCIOUSNESS TOWARD THE CENTER OF AN ASHRAM SO CLEARLY THAT ONLY THE SELF-DELUDED CAN FAILTO IDENTIFY HIS OWN PLACE AND HIS RESULTING OPPORTUNITY.
