Esoteric Healing (A Treatise on the Seven Rays)

This book is part of a series of books whose wisdom is overwhelmingly evident. I was wary when I encountered the brief passage stating that the karma of Jews was being played out. The law of cause and effect (karma) is illustrated at work in many different groupings of living beings in this series, however. Also, specific mentions comprise a very small portion of the text overall. The messages in the book were focused again and again on the movement towards integration as opposed to separateness, the need to move beyond personal ego to work toward the greater good of all, and the real physical force of love. Even so, the series introduced a number of ideas to me that I found intellectually and emotionally somewhat threatening. Again and again I was inspired to think deeply upon these ideas. I cannot say I agree with everything written in the series. The authors seem to know vastly more than I do, but I have nothing at this point in my evolution to rely upon higher than my own intellect or Higher Self--and so I ponder, observe, and seek more information. This series, and this book, has so much content of obvious benefit to humankind. I highly recommend it to anyone who has the inclination and capacity to read it carefully and with discernment.

My experience of this book is one of profound wisdom and depth. I use this healing information in connection with my healing and counselling practice and find that it helps tremendously.I suggest that your next spotlight on this book is the review titled Love and Compassion--Not Prejudice: The Soul as Healer by Michael Robbins, with 18 out of 19 readers rating it helpful. This review is beautifully written, with quite helpful comments on how healing is approached in this book.

The soul is a great spiritual reality--the source of all that is good, noble, true and healthy in the life of the human individual (the personality). The soul is the true healer. As the Tibetan Teacher, Djwhal Khul says, is his superb volume on the art and science of esoteric healing, "All disease is the result of inhibited soul life". The task of healers in the New Age will be to promote the flow of soul energy through the personality--sweeping away the miasms of mind, emotions and body.The Tibetan Teacher is a Master on the second ray--the Ray of Love-Wisdom. He is known for His profound understanding of the human energy system--spiritually, psychologically and physically. His 'secretary' Alice Bailey--a woman of great illumination, compassion and understanding worked with Master DK for thirty years and produced these wonderful volumes of esoteric thought, thus laying the groundwork for many arts and sciences which will grow and flourish in the Aquarian Age.The Tibetan's perspective is vast. He views the world as an initiate of the fifth degree. He is beyond prejudice and pettiness, no matter how some readers may interpret his often frank words. His task is to see and reveal truth to those who can respond. The causes of disease are known to Him and these He must isolate--in individuals and groups. Many nations, groups and individuals have come under his luminous scrutiny. Many have not liked what they have read, considering it erroneous or prejudiced because it is so clear and frank.Because of His clear analysis of the virtues and strengths of the Jewish People, and also of elements of character requiring transmutation, the charge of anti-Semitism has been leveled at the Tibetan and at Alice Bailey, too. Nothing could be further from the truth. Some of the Tibetan's closest cooperators were Jewish, and several among Alice Bailey's most trusted friends and co-workers were Jewish. I, who write this, am also a Jew.All groups of people, all individuals, have over a long incarnational past made mistakes. No individual or group is immune. It is far better to understand and correct these errors (based upon astrological and ray energies) that to accuse the source that points them out.A really fair reading of Alice Bailey's work will reveal the utter falsity of such charges. The Tibetan's writings and hers, resound with compassion for the entire human race, and with the loving-will to see the human condition raised into a state of true spirituality.We ordinary people (not yet initiates of high degree, not yet Masters of the Wisdom) have our own prejudices arising out of the limitations of our perceptions. If we want to advance spiritually and be really useful, we will have to broaden our point of view, and avoid responding personally and emotionally to statements with which we disagree.Who is the Jew? Who is the Gentile? Who is the Oriental? We are all one humanity and as reincarnating souls we could incarnate in any race, national or cultural group.A g

This book is much more valuable than it may first seem, being one among many AAB books with a lot of technical detail to challenge the disciple on the Path. It is also a useful tool for healing groups; especially those performing "absent healing" or "rescue" work. However, I like it as is, and see it has made a significant base-contribution to the now booming New Age industry of spiritual healing.We all want to have perfect health. As spiritual healers we would like to return the patient to perfect health. This book explains that health is closely related to the relation between higher self and lower self of the patient. If there is discord between higher and lower aspects of the person illness results. Is healing as simple as aligning the patient's inner self so that higher and lower self are not at war with each other? At one level it is that simple, but at the practical level there are obviously rules and techniques to be acquired and practised by the healer. This book sets down "rules" and "laws" for esoteric healing. In explaining these, I believe it has a systematic and elevated approach to energy healing.Whether it was the Master DK speaking through Alice Bailey doesn't matter. The fruits of the book are in that it holds the practical, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual keys to healing. Over many years I have found this to be valid, and although I am not yet a perfected soul, I can affect minor cures, or assist folks to heal themselves of greater ailments. Finally, it is pleasing to see commonsense does not preclude ordinary medicine out-of-hand for what it is worth, since we have:-"Rule Four": A careful diagnosis of disease, based on the ascertained outer symptoms, will be simplified to this extent - that once the organ involved is known and thus isolated, the centre in the etheric body which is in closest relation to it will be subjected to methods of occult healing, though the ordinary, ameliorative, medical or surgical methods will not be withheld.

An original presentation by the Tibetan D.K. (with Alice Bailey as the scribe) on the basic causes of disease, the basic requirements for healing, and the ten laws of healing. This book has profound depth and wisdom--a priceless gift from one of humanity's Great Teachers. After studying Esoteric Healing, counseling and teaching healing techniques for thirty years, I attempted to present a few of the Tibetan's principles in a simple style along with intuitive impressions on healing I had received. But Esoteric Healing is Truth in pure form! Highly recommended for the sincere esoteric student.
