The work accomplished by Alice A. Bailey and the Tibetan, since revealed as the Master of Wisdom known by the name of Djwhal Khul, can hardly be given too much praise for in the Blue Books they succeeded in delivering a great deal of the Ageless Wisdom to the world. Their seven core books, each masterfully presented with the clarity and order of a textbook, represent the essential current of Truth that runs through the sciences, religions and philosophies of Man, and unites them all under cosmic law. Within their body of work are found the laws and processes that underlie the love of the Christ and the wisdom of the Buddha. Herein are found answers to the true nature of God, the Cosmos, Spiritual and Solar Fire, the not-self and the true Self. The purpose of this abridgment is threefold: 1. To coalesce a condensed form of the Ageless Wisdom, and this for three reasons: a) To assimilate the data and develop an efficient method of studying the essential teachings. b) To circulate, teach and learn the Ageless Wisdom with friends and family. To create astudy guide and teaching aid. c) To transmit the essential teachings to those Seekers who may not take the time to read thefull Treatise, with the goal of transmitting 70% of the essential teachings with only 30%of the study. 2. To promote awareness of the Ageless Wisdom within studious occult circles, such as the Hermetic Qabalists, Christian Mystics, Ceremonial Magicians and Astrologers. Some within thesegroups suffer heavily under dogma and misunderstood tradition, and will benefit greatly bythe study of Cosmic Law. 3. To quantify, demystify and promote awareness of the Ageless Wisdom in the global population.This has in mind the following four aspects: a) General psychology and self-improvement: Through a greater perspective of one’smicrocosmic self, as well as Man’s position within the planetary scheme, individualswill be able to respond to life’s challenges with greater mobility and intelligence. b) Unification of science, religion and philosophy: Through an understanding of the Law ofAnalogy, the scientist who studies the Ageless Wisdom stands to gain much when he considersthe living atom of matter. The orthodox Christian may find illumination as to the nature ofGod, the Father and the Son, while philosophers will discover the occult reason behind thatwarmth, which is felt as individual, brotherly and group love; all will benefit throughknowledge of the concrete processes and abstract interactions that occur in, and actuallycreate of their own essence, the seen and unseen worlds around us. c) Harmlessness, through right thought and speech: Through a proper comprehension of thepower of thought-forms, individuals will come to control the lower impulses, to seek harmlessness in all that they do, and to eventually radiate only the true essence of their Egoic Ray. d) Intelligent individual and group activity: Societal reforms based on the Ageless Wisdom will promote enhanced unity within the human collective, and the intelligent organization andactivity that will result is the natural flow of evolution, for the Divine Plan works toward the greatest good of all.
