A Treatise on White Magic (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. The Way of the Disciple – Fifteen Rules for MagicBy Alice Bailey
Length22h 10m
About this audiobook
A Treatise on White Magic, subtitled The Way of the Disciple, is one of Alice Bailey's central expositions of esoteric psychology and spiritual practice. Organized around fifteen "rules" for the aspirant, it interprets magic not as spectacle or occult manipulation, but as disciplined soul activity: the alignment of thought, motive, and service with a perceived higher spiritual order. Its style is formal, instructional, and synthetic, drawing on Theosophical vocabulary while extending it into Bailey's distinctive system of rays, initiation, meditation, and planetary service. Alice Bailey (1880–1949), an Anglo-American esoteric writer, emerged from the Theosophical milieu but developed an independent body of teaching through the Lucis Trust and her claimed collaboration with the Tibetan master Djwhal Khul. Her background in Christian service, Theosophy, and early twentieth-century occult revivalism shaped her attempt to reconcile mystical discipline with global responsibility, making this work a manual for inner transformation rather than mere metaphysical speculation. This book is recommended for readers interested in Western esotericism, Theosophical thought, occult philosophy, and the history of modern spiritual movements. Though demanding and doctrinal, it rewards patient reading with a coherent vision of discipleship as ethical, mental, and spiritual training.
