Alice A. Bailey (16th June,1880 ‑ 15th December,1949), writer and lecturer on neo-theosophy, was born in England in 1880 as Alice LaTrobe Bateman.

After spells as an evangelical Christian and a member of the Esoteric Section of the Theosophical Society, Alice Bailey founded the Arcane School in 1923. Her 26 books popularized notions such as the coming New Age and the New Group of World Servers and Triangles which she initiated in 1937. They include the mantram known as “The Great Invocation” used by thousands of esoteric groups all over the world. Today the seeds of her service are continued in the work of the Arcane School and Lucis Trust.

According to Alice Bailey, almost all of her books were dictated to her by the Tibetan, Djwhal Khul. The teachings contained therein are written in an unusually lucid style though the subjects are at times abstruse. These are textbooks on occult science, astrology, white magic, meditation and general occultism. It



has been said that A.A.B.'s books are more inspirational than informational as the works themselves are occult artifacts which have a definite effect upon those who read them.

The material is said by her heirs to have been the second in a series following on from the work of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. They expect more material to follow this century — dependent they believe, on humanity's ability to make use of what it has already been given.

All of in their entirety. However, this material has not been sanctioned by Lucis Trust, the legal publishers.
