Cleavages

5th of the Laws of Cleavage
ALICE A. BAILEY: Esoteric Psychology I, page
378: “We come now to a consideration of the Law of Cleavages, for our race is controlled by the great heresy of separativeness.  Through these cleavages (symbolically speaking) the fires of destruction may emerge and end our civilisation, as the Atlantean civilisation was ended, unless the conscious sons of God can build those bridges and develop that understanding which will offset this law, thus bringing into functioning activity the law which governs the coming race.”

ALICE A. BAILEY: Rays and The Initiations, page
595 – 96: “The existence of a closed mind on a national scale is dangerous in the extreme, just as the individual is in a dangerous “state of mind” when he closes it to world contact, world news and world understanding, and when he refuses to admit new ideas and new modes of behaviour.  Fortunately, the influence of this fifth ray energy – which is always present, whether the ray is in incarnation or not – is steadily leading humanity towards illumination.

This ray energy operates always in connection with the Law of Cleavages.  Today, tremendous cleavages between the past and the present are in order.  …  Hitherto cleavages have been noted during an historical retrospect.  Today, all men everywhere are conscious of the fact that the old order, the old cultures and civilisations are rapidly passing away, and they are universally clamouring for the new.”

725 – 26: “This initiation [the Sixth Initiantion] is therefore governed by the third ray, the Ray of Intelligent Activity.  This ray is closely related to the mental plane of our planetary life, to the Law of Fixation and the Law of Cleavages. …  Fixation is not permitted to the eternal pilgrim upon our little planet, the Earth, but when that is left behind entirely at the ninth initiation the initiate becomes a “fixed or stationary point of light within his chosen Place, the Place of the Most High and the point of fire upon the mountain-top.  From that point he will no more go out.”

The concept of cleavage is latent here also.  The Master severs all connection with the past and with the planet, but never with the One Life which permeates all spheres and forms of being, which makes possible all states of consciousness and leads to endless activity.”
