This page wants to draw the attention of the serious spiritual researcher (especially the freemasons) towards the works of the Master Tibetan, Master DK, Djwhal Khul and Alice Ann Bailey
The books written by A.A.B. in collaboration with the master dk contain many references at freemasonry, its origins, the course of its history, and the significant role that a revitalized and more spiritualized freemasonry will be able to play and play in the future, carrying the light and the energy of the lesson of the Mysteries in the new age. This page contains only quotations of the Tibétain Master and A.A.B. concerning , the movement masonic, brotherhood, masonic fraternity, the organization, the ritual, the work and the association of the freemasons The mason Foster Bailey, the husband of A.A.B. also wrote a book which is entitled; The Spirit of Masonry. This page is intended to those which dream to see the ideals masonic realized. A.A.B.and the Djwhal Khul collaborated approximately 30 years. 18 books were transmitted by A.A.B., a great work of approximately 9000 pages. It is advanced esotericism. To classify the books of A.A.B.and DK one can say that it is neo-theosophy. The original theosophy was created by Mrs Blavatsky. Spirit of Masonry: Foster Bailey This book contains five instructions drawn from the series which the Master DK, Djwhal Khul, had the intention to give to a group off freemasons by the intermediary of A.A.B. However, the instructions could not be given entirely because of the lack of time and other pressures appeared at the time of its work with A.A.B.; one asked Foster Bailey to undertake these five instructions and finally to publish them. This was done by him, as well as the addition, in the second part of the book, of an article of A.A.B. published for the first time in the magazine "Master Mason", and also of the text of a conference addressed by Foster Bailey to a lodge of the New-Jersey. The books written by Alice Bailey in collaboration with the Tibetan contain many references to the freemasonry, its origins, the course of its history, and the significant role that a masonry revitalized and more spiritualized will be able to play in the future, carrying the light and the energy of the lesson of the mysteries in the era of Aquarius. "the free-masons have still much interior work to do. The time of a true recognition of the masons, on a great scale, is still very far. Masonry, in the direction Masonic and spiritual, must still prove of itself. When this takes place and that the spiritual intention subjacent withal work Masonic will be understood better, then the law of the manufacturers could be felt. Then the work of the group for the race could be done. One will see the cooperation conscious of the lodge to work since the high laces, then the freemasonry will be restored like the guardian of the mysteries of the spiritual life on the ground, and will prove that it is the force of life in the heart of any true religion.

Page 368 Esoteric Psychology I "Under the 7°ray influence the masonic organization will come into a new and pronounced spiritual activity and begin to approximate its true function and to fulfil its destiny. One point it might be of interest to note. During the period of the activity of the 6° ray the fraternity fell into a crystallized and sectarian attitude, along with the many other grouped circles. It fell into the snare of materialism, and the outer form has for centuries been of more importance in the eyes of freemasons than the inner spiritual meaning. The symbols and the system of allegories have been emphasized, whilst that which they were intended to convey and to reveal to the initiated has been forgotten. Also, the trend of the attention of a lodge of masons, and the main emphasis, has been potently placed on the function and place of the W. Master and not upon the inner significance of the work upon the floor of the temple. The lodge has not been regarded as an integrated functioning entity. This must be changed, and the potency and the effectiveness of the lodge work and ceremonial will be demonstrated. It will be seen that in the regularity of the rituals (the masonic work) and the sanctified formality of the ordained ceremonials lies the true meaning of the work and the use of the Word. The coming era of group work and power and of organized synthetic ritualistic activity will profoundly affect freemasonry, as the importance of a central dominating figure passes out with the 6° ray influence and the true spiritual work and function of the lodge itself is understood."

"The Externalization of the Hierarchy"Page 511 Master D.K. Djwhal Khul "The three main channels through which the preparation for the new age is going on might be regarded as the masonic fraternity, the church and the educational field. All of them are are still in relatively static condition, and all are as yet failing to meet the need and to respond to the inner pressure. But in this three movements, disciples of the great ones are to be found and they are steadily gathering momentum and will before long enter upon their designated task. Masonic movement, when it can be divorced from politics and social ends and from its present paralyzing condition of inertia, will meet the need of those who can, and should, wield power. It is the custodian of the law...... it is the home of the mysteries and the seat of initiation. It holds in its symbolism the ritual of Deity... and the way of salvation is pictorially preserved in its work in the temples. The methods of Deity are demonstrated in its Temples, and under the all-seeing-eye the work can go forward. It is a far more occult organization than can be realized, and is intended to be the training school for the coming advanced occultists. In its ceremonials lies hid the wielding of the forces connected with the growth and life of the kingdoms of nature and the unfoldment of the divine aspects in man. In the comprehension of its work and symbolism will come the power to cooperate with the divine plan. It meets the need of those who work on the 1°Ray of Will or Power." Page 446 Esoteric Astrology - - Triangles of Force - The Science of Triangles Planets "Masonry, -- inadequate and corrupt as it has been and guilty of over-emphasizing certain forms of symbols, is nevertheless a germ or seed of future hierarchical effort when that effort is...at some later date...externalized on earth. Masonry is governed by the 7° ray, and when certain important changes have been made and the spirit of Masonry is grasped instead of the letter, then we shall see a new form of hierarchical endeavor appear to aid in the restoration of the ancient and sacred Mysteries among men."
Page 332 The Rays and the Initiations "The ground is now being prepared at this time for this great restoration. The Churches and Masonry are today before the judgment seat of humanity's critical mind and the word has gone forth from that mass mind that both of them failed in their divinely assigned tasks... It is realized everywhere that new life must be poured in and great changes wrought in the awareness and in the training of those who work through and in these two media of truth... Those changes have not yet been carried out, for it will take a new vision and a new approach to life experience, and this only the coming generation is capable of giving..they alone can bring about the needed alterations and the revitalization, but it can and will be done."
Page 418 The Rays and the Initiations - The Aspirant and the Mysteries of Initiation Djwhal Khul, Master DK. The time has now come, under cyclic law and in preparation for the new Age, for certain changes to be worked by masons with spiritual understanding. The present jewish coloring of masonry is completely out of date and has been preserved far too long, for it is today either jewish or christian and should be neither... The Blue Lodge degrees are entirely jewish in phrasing and wording, and this should be altered. The Higher Degrees are predominantly christian, though permeated with jewish names and words. This too should end. The jewish coloring is today one of the main hindrances to the full expression of Masonic intention and should be changed, whilst preserving the facts and detail and structure of the Masonic symbolism intact."

Statement by the Tibetan (extract) (Master Djwhal Khul) August 1934 Suffice it to say, that I am a Tibetan disciple of a certain degree, and this tells you but little, for all are disciples from the humblest aspirant up to, and beyond, the Christ Himself... I live in a physical body like other men, on the borders of Tibet, and at times, (from the exoteric standpoint) I preside over a large group of Tibetan lamas, when my other duties permit. It is this fact that has caused it to be reported that I am an abbot of this particular lamasery. Those associated with me in the work of the Hierarchy (and all true disciples and aspirants are associated in this work) know me by still another name and office. A.A.B. knows who I am and recognizes me by two of my names. I am a brother of yours, who has traveled a little longer upon the Path than has the average student, and has therefore incurred greater responsibilities. I am one who has wrestled and fought his way into a greater measure of light than has the aspirant or disciple who will read this article, and I must therefore act as a transmitter of the light... no matter what the cost. I am not an old man, as age counts among the teachers, yet I am not young or inexperienced. My work is to teach and spread the knowledge of the Ageless Wisdom wherever I can find a response, and I have been doing this for many years. I seek also to help the Master Morya (Master M) and the Master Kut Hum (Master KH) whenever opportunity offers, for I have been long connected with them and with their work. In all the above, I have told you much; yet at the same time I have told you nothing which would lead you to offer me that blind obedience and the foolish devotion which the emotional aspirant offers to the Guru and Master Whom he is as yet unable to contact. Nor will he make that desired contact until he has transmuted emotional devotion into unselfish service to humanity....and not to the Master. The books that I have written are sent out with no claim for their acceptance. They may, or may not, be correct, true and useful. It is for you to ascertain their truth by right practice and by the exercise of the intuition. Neither I nor Alice Bailey is the least interested in having them acclaimed as inspired writings, or in having anyone speak of them (with bated breath) as being the work of one of the Masters. If they present truth in such a way that it follows sequentially upon that already offered in the world teachings, if the information given raises the aspiration and the will to serve from the plane of the emotions to that of the mind (the plane whereon the masters can be found) then they will have served their purpose. If the teaching conveyed calls forth a response from the illumined mind of the worker in the world, and brings a flashing forth of his intuition, then let that teaching be accepted. If the statements meet with eventual corroboration, or are deemed true under the test of the Law of Correspondences, then that is well and good. But should this not be so, let not the student accept what is said. Djwhal Khul |
