Alice A. Bailey has been one of the most distinguished esotericists of our time, and her work as a writer reached extraordinary importance. His numerous works and articles on Eastern occultism are among the most notable among those of his genre because of the depth of presentation of ideas and his wealth of teaching.
After the publication, in 1922, of the books Human and Solar Initiation and Letters on Occult Meditation Alice A. Bailey received infinity of letters and queries from the readers of them. They longed to know something more about meditation and how to practice it, they looked for who would guide them in the search for truth, without being subject to the common limitations of dogmatic creeds, nor promise loyalty or obedience to a new cult or istmo ; to a personality or authoritative teaching.
In 1923, and in order to meet these concerns, Mrs. Bailey began writing a monthly letter, which dealt with esoteric teachings and personal training methods. From there, the group that is now known as the `` Arcane School '' emerged and developed.
The goal of the Arcane School is to provide training, to those who feel impelled to achieve the full development of their innate spiritual capacity, to use it for the good of humanity. It is understood that the aspirant wishes to prepare for a life of sacrifice dedicated to active service, in order to alleviate some need.
Emphasis is placed on group work and the necessary requirements for discipleship in the Age of Aquarius. The principles and norms of the Arcane School are based on the foundations of Ancient Wisdom.
The purpose of the School is to train the student and prepare him for discipleship and world service, laying the foundations for work that will be carried out in a Master's Ashrama, where his service to humanity will be perfected and used. The Arcane School has dedicated itself to help in this preparation.
