Alice Bailey 
Initiation, Human & Solar: Treatise on Theosophy and Esotericism [EPUB ebook] 

Alice Ann Bailey (1880–1949), a prolific writer and theosophist, was influential in the development of modern esoteric spirituality. Born in Manchester, England, Bailey developed an interest in the occult early in life and later became a prominent figure in the Theosophical Society before establishing her own spiritual movement, the Arcane School. Her extensive body of work, which includes over twenty-four books written between 1919 and 1949, blends theosophical teachings with her own mystical insights. One of her significant contributions to esoteric literature is ‘Initiation, Human & Solar: Treatise on Theosophy and Esotericism’ (1922), which outlines the process of spiritual evolution through stages of initiation that individuals and humanity as a whole undergo. Bailey’s literary style is characterized by intricate expositions of spiritual concepts and an integrative approach that sought to synthesize Eastern and Western esoteric traditions. Her books delve into complex topics such as cosmic hierarchies, esoteric psychology, and the interplay of divine energies that influence human destiny. Bailey’s work has been influential in shaping contemporary New Age thought and has left a lasting imprint on twentieth-century esoteric philosophy.
