Radiation – Subsidiary law of the Law of Attraction, 2nd Cosmic Law
ALICE A. BAILEY: Cosmic Fire, page
1040: “This spiral-cyclic activity, which is distinctive of all forms, can perhaps be comprehended more practically if we study it as an expression of four laws, taking each one briefly in turn: …”

1060 – 83: “4. The Law of Radiation. It will be found that more time will be given to this expression of divine activity than to any other in this section, as it is the one of the most practical utility.  This Law of Radiation is one that is beginning to be recognised by scientists since their acceptation of the radioactivity of certain substances, and when they are willing to approximate the occult conception of the radiatory, or emanatory condition, of all substances at a specific point in evolution, then they will very definitely approach Reality.

Radiation is the outer effect produced by all forms in all kingdoms when their internal activity has reached such a stage of vibratory activity that the confining walls of the form no longer form a prison, but permit of the escape of the subjective essence.  It marks a specific point of attainment in the evolutionary process, and this is equally true of the atom of substance with which the chemist and physicist deal, when working with the elements, as it is of the forms in the vegetable kingdom, the forms in the animal kingdom, in the human, and, likewise, in the divine.

  1. The Cause of Radiation. …
  2. Radiation in the Five Kingdoms. …
  3. Radiation and Cyclic Law. …”

1170 – 1171: “5. The Law of Radiation.  This is one of the most interesting of the laws for it only comes into activity in connection with the highest specimens of the various kingdoms, and concerns itself with the attraction that a higher kingdom of nature will have for the highest lives of the next lower kingdom.  It governs the radioactivity of minerals, the radiations of the vegetable kingdom and (curiously enough) the entire question of perfumes. Smell is the highest of the purely physical senses; so in the vegetable kingdom a certain series of perfumes are evidence of radiation in that kingdom.

There is, moreover, an interesting link between those who are members of the fifth kingdom (the spiritual) and the vegetable, for in esotericism the two and the five, the Son, and the Sons of Mind, are closely allied.  It is not possible to indicate more, but it is not without significance that certain Rays are, through the initiates and Masters, represented by vegetable perfumes.  It signifies radiation, and to those who have the key reveals the quality of the egoic lotus and the place it holds in any particular planetary lotus, as well as a connection with certain devas who are the sevenfold life of the vegetable kingdom.  We must not forget that man is occultly a “seven-leaved plant, the saptaparna.”

This law in a mysterious manner, inexplicable to those ignorant of the karma of our planetary Logos, is not operative in the animal kingdom during this Cycle or chain.  One of the problems of the next chain will be the bringing in of animal radiation; thus offsetting the method of initiation now pursued.  It must never be forgotten that the chain process of individualisation, and the earlier three Initiations concern the animal kingdom and man is viewed therein as an animal.  In the final Initiation or the offering up of the entire bodily nature, this part of the general karma of the planetary Logos and the Life of the informing Spirit of the animal kingdom become adjusted.  If this is meditated upon, some light may be thrown upon the problem as to why the Adepts of the left hand path in Atlantean days were called “the Trees,” and were destroyed with the entire Atlantean vegetation.  In the oldest of all the Commentaries the mystery is expressed thus:

“They (the Adepts of the Left Hand Path) became thus separated through their own fault.  Their smell rose not up to Heaven; they refused to merge.  No perfume was theirs.  They hugged to their greedy bosoms all the gains of the flowering plan.”

Radioactivity
ALICE A. BAILEY: Cosmic Fire, page
863: “He must study the laws of transmutation and be a student of that divine alchemy which will result in a knowledge of how to transmute the lower force into the higher, of how to transfer his consciousness into the higher vehicles, and of how to manipulate energy currents so that his own nature is transformed.  He will then become a channel for the light of the Ego, and for the illumination of buddhi to pour through for the saving of the race, and the lighting of those who stumble in dark places.  He must demonstrate the laws of radioactivity in his own life on the physical plane.  His life must begin to radiate, and to have a magnetic effect upon others.  By this I mean he will begin to influence that which is imprisoned in others, for he will reach – through his own powerful vibrations – the hidden centre in each one.  I do not mean by this the physical or magnetic effect that many quite unevolved souls have upon others.  I refer to that spiritual radiation that is only responded to and realised by those who themselves are becoming aware of the spiritual centre within the heart.  At this stage the man is recognised as one who can speak occultly “heart to heart.”  He becomes a stimulator of the heart centre in his brother, and one who arouses men into activity for others.

Ray Laws, Laws of Cleavage
ALICE A. BAILEY, Esoteric Psychology I, page
375 – 79: “THE FUNCTIONING RAY LAWS. There are certain great laws, connected with the seven rays that are effective in determining the lines of demarcation, the cleavages which produce separation and the differentiations of the manifested life of God into…

  1. The septenary constitution of the solar system.
  2. The ten schemes which indicate solar achievement.
  3. The inner constitution, or so-called “chains”, which distinguish each planetary existence.
  4. The planetary constitution of our Earth into the various kingdoms of nature.
  5. The basic distinctions between the kingdoms; these produce the types, groupings, families, branches, empires and nations.

These Laws of Cleavage are too difficult for general comprehension. …”

My comment: See above in the section of Cosmic Laws for Economy, Attraction and Synthesis.

 Re-Appropriation
ALICE A. BAILEY: Discipleship in the New Age I, page
260: “I would suggest to you that that which has to be relinquished may not be that upon which you are at this time laying the emphasis. I would remind you also that the Law of Sacrifice is ever followed by the Law of Re-Appropriation in the spiritual sense.”

Rebirth and Death in the three worlds
ALICE A. BAILEY: Cosmic Fire, page
586 – 590: “The Laws in the Three Worlds. We will now take up and briefly study the three most important laws affecting the evolving human being, as he lives his life in the three worlds.  These laws are:

  1. The Law of Fixation.
  2. The Law of Love.
  3. The Law of Sacrifice and Death.

…
With this as a basis, the three laws of the personality become replete with life, and can be summed up in the well-known term, “The Law of Rebirth and Death in the three worlds.”

Reincarnation, Rebirth
ALICE A. BAILEY: Cosmic Fire, page
274: “2. Repetition of Cyclic Action is Governed by Two Laws: Perhaps it is more accurate to say that it is governed by one law, primarily, and a subsidiary law. …

The general law, which produces cyclic effect, is the Law of Attraction and Repulsion, of which the subsidiary law is the Law of Periodicity, and of Rebirth.”

ALICE A. BAILEY: The Externalisation of the Hierarchy, page
112: “It is well known to you that the great Law of Rebirth is the controlling and major law in all the processes of manifestation. It governs the exoteric expression of a solar Logos or of a human being, and the object of this constantly recurring process is to bring an increasingly perfect form to the expanding service of the soul.”

696: “The Law of Cause and Effect is of far greater importance than the Law of Rebirth, because it necessitates action upon the part of the aspirant, and that action inevitably conditions the future. There is nothing he can do about the Law of Rebirth but submit to it and be grateful that opportunity continues to present itself.”

ALICE A. BAILEY: The Reappearance of the Christ, page
115- 120: “II. Christ Will Teach the Law of Rebirth. This Law is the major corollary of the Law of Evolution. It has never been grasped or properly understood in the West and, in the East, where it is acknowledged as a governing principle of life, it has not proved useful because it has been soporific in its effect, and a detriment to progress. …

If the goal of right human relations will be taught universally by the Christ, the emphasis of His teaching must be laid upon the Law of Rebirth. This is inevitably so, because in the recognition of this law will be found the solution of all the problems of humanity, and the answer to much of human questioning. …”

145 – 47: “… The spirit in man is undying; it forever endures, progressing from point to point and stage to stage upon the Path of Evolution, unfolding steadily and sequentially the divine attributes and aspects. This truth involves necessarily the recognition of two great natural laws; the Law of Rebirth and the Law of Cause and Effect. The churches in the West have refused officially to recognise the Law of Rebirth and have thereby wandered into a theological impasse and into a cul-de-sac from which there is no possible exit. The churches in the East have over-emphasised these laws so that a negative, acquiescent attitude to life and its processes, based on continuously renewed opportunity, controls the people. …

The immortality of the human soul, and the innate ability of the spiritual, inner man to work out his own salvation under the Law of Rebirth, in response to the Law of Cause and Effect, are the underlying factors governing all human conduct and all human aspiration. These two laws no man can evade. They condition him at all times until he has achieved the desired and the designed perfection and can manifest on earth as a rightly functioning son of God.”

ALICE A. BAILEY: White Magic, page
551: “Is there some basic formula or proposition which must govern the magical activity?

… My answer is this:  Potencies produce precipitation.  In those three words lies the entire story.  They sum up the history of the Creator and the life story and environing conditions of every human being.  They account for all that is, and lie back of the law of rebirth.  These potencies are driven into activity by the power of thought and hence, in training them to be creators and in teaching them to govern and control their own destinies, the Teachers of the race begin with the mind aspect of aspirants.”

ALICE A. BAILEY: Esoteric Astrology, page
312: “In this sign [Cancer] lies hid the whole problem of the Law of Rebirth. Reincarnation is implicit in the manifested universe and is a basic and fundamental theme underlying systemic pulsation.”

324 – 325: “It is here [Cancer] that there will be found certain basic indications as to the nature and the processes of the Law of Rebirth. It would appear that as yet only two rules are posited in connection with the return of an ego to physical incarnation. The first is that if perfection has not been achieved then the soul must return and continue the perfecting process upon the Earth. The second is that the impulse predisposing the ego to such action is some form of unsatisfied desire. Both these statements are true in part and generic in effect but they are only partial truths and incident to larger truths which have not yet been sensed or noted accurately by esotericists; they are secondary in nature and are expressed in terms of the three worlds of human evolution, of personality intent, and of time-space concepts. Basically, it is not desire which prompts return but will and knowledge of the plan. It is not the need for achieving an ultimate perfection which goads the ego on to experience in form, for the ego is already perfect. The main incentive is sacrifice and service to those lesser lives that are dependent upon the higher inspiration (which the spiritual soul can give) and the determination that they too may attain planetary status equivalent to that of the sacrificing soul. It is in order eventually to negate the space-time concept and to prove it an illusion that the door in Cancer opens to the sacrificing, serving soul. Bear this always in mind as you study the subject of rebirth. In themselves, rebirth and reincarnation are misleading terms and “cyclic impulsion,” “intelligent purposeful repetition” and “conscious in-breathing and out-breathing” would describe more accurately this cosmic process. …

When the Plan (as the Hierarchy understands it) is more familiar in its objectives and its mode of functioning upon the outer plane of life, we shall see a complete change in the presentation of the teaching concerning the Law of Rebirth.”

ALICE A. BAILEY: The Light of the Soul, page
385: “Just as long as the consciousness of any entity (solar, planetary or human) is outward going towards objects of desire, towards sentient existence, towards individual experience, and towards the life of sensuous perception and enjoyment, just so long will the vehicles or organs be created whereby desire can be satisfied, materialized existence can be enjoyed, and objects perceived.  This is the great illusion by which consciousness is glamoured, and as long as the glamour exerts any power, just so long will the Law of Rebirth bring the outward-going consciousness into manifestation upon the plane of materiality.”

ALICE A. BAILEY: Esoteric Psychology I, page
266: “… all of the seven rays are forever functioning, and functioning simultaneously, but that cyclically and under the directed plan of the Minds (who are embodied by the rays), certain of these influences and forces are more dominant at one time than at another …

In this ray activity will be found the true significance of the Law of Rebirth, and it lies behind the process of incarnation and of reincarnation. … Much readjustment must be made, and much re-arrangement of ideas is necessitated, before a true understanding of this basic cyclic law will be possible.”

300: “Therefore, the first postulate which must be laid down, and to which the general public must be educated, is that all souls incarnate and re-incarnate under the Law of Rebirth. Hence each life is not only a recapitulation of life experience, but an assuming of ancient obligations, a recovery of old relations, an opportunity for the paying of old indebtedness, a chance to make restitution and progress, an awakening of deep-seated qualities, the recognition of old friends and enemies, the solution of revolting injustices, and the explanation of that which conditions the man and makes him what he is. Such is the law which is crying now for universal recognition, and which, when understood by thinking people, will do much to solve the problems of sex and marriage.”

ALICE A. BAILEY: Esoteric Psychology II, page
96: “This factor [sacrificial instinct], though not unrecognised by modern psychology, is of far wider significance than has yet been realised.  This instinctual tendency is the one that itself governs the Law of Rebirth.  It is the expression of a still greater factor in the creative process.  It is the major determining impulse which impelled the Soul of God Himself to enter into form life; which impels life, upon the involutionary arc, to progress down into matter, producing thus the immanence of God.  It is that also which drives humanity forward into its wild struggle for material well-being.  It is that too which urges man eventually to turn his back upon the “world, the flesh and the devil,” as the New Testament puts it, and orient himself to the things of spiritual import.”

LUCILLE CEDERCRANS: Applied Wisdom, Introduction, page
8: “The Law of Rebirth or Reincarnation. This could be called God’s grading system. The individual Soul incarnates not once in human form but many times, growing in the school of experience into higher states of consciousness.”

Relativity, see also Divine Laws in the section Groupings of Laws
ALICE A. BAILEY: Cosmic Fire, page
1040: “The chemical atom is spheroidal; man dwells within a sphere, as does the planetary Logos and the solar Logos, this sphere being the form matter takes when its own internal activity, and the activity of the form are working in unison.  It requires the two types of force – rotary and spiral-cyclic – to produce this.  Scientists are beginning to recognise this more or less, and to realise that it is the Law of Relativity, or the relation between all atoms, which produces that which is called Light, and which, in its aggregated phenomena, forms that composite sphere, a solar system. …”

LUCILLE CEDERCRANS: Creative Thinking, Lesson 24, page
98 – 101 : ”The Will of God in relationship to substance works out upon this planet via three major laws, which, in turn, manifest a basic nature within all forms.

These laws are:

  1. The Law of Economy …
  2. The Law of Relativity which states in effect that all forms are interrelated and interdependent within the One Life. …
  3. The Law of Periodicity …

Repetition
ALICE A. BAILEY: Cosmic Fire, page
347 – 48: “That the earlier method was seen in the moon-chain is only evidence of the steadfastness of the Law of Repetition by which every large cycle includes, in its earlier stages, all the lesser, and repeats the earlier procedure.  This is a recognised fact, for instance, in the building of man’s physical body, for the foetus reproduces all earlier stages and forms till the human is achieved; …”

Repulsion – Subsidiary law of the Law of Economy, 4th Law of Group Work (esoteric name: The Law of all Destroying Angels)
ALICE A. BAILEY: Cosmic Fire, page
144: “The activity of the second Logos is carried on under the cosmic Law of Attraction. The Law of Economy has for one of its branches a subsidiary Law of marked development called the Law of Repulsion. The cosmic Laws of Attraction and Economy are therefore the raison d’être (viewed from one angle) of the eternal repulsion that goes on as Spirit seeks ever to liberate itself from form. The matter aspect always follows the line of least resistance, and repulses all tendency to group formation, while Spirit, governed by the Law of Attraction, seeks ever to separate itself from matter by the method of attracting an ever more adequate type of matter in the process of distinguishing the real from the unreal, and passing from one illusion to another until the resources of matter are fully utilized.”

154: “We have referred to the Law of Repulsion as one of the subsidiary branches of the great Law of Economy, which governs matter. Repulsion is brought about by rotary action, and is the basis of that separation which prevents the contact of any atom with any other atom, which keeps the planets at fixed points in space and separated stably from each other; which keeps them at a certain distance from their systemic centre, and which likewise keeps the planes and subplanes from losing their material identity. Here we can see the beginning of that age-long duel between Spirit and matter, which is characteristic of manifestation, one aspect working under the Law of Attraction, and the other governed by the Law of Repulsion. From aeon to aeon the conflict goes on, with matter becoming less potent. Gradually (so gradually as to seem negated when viewed from the physical plane) the attractive power of Spirit is weakening the resistance of matter till, at the close of the greater solar cycles, destruction (as it is called) will ensue, and the Law of Repulsion be overcome by the Law of Attraction. It is a destruction of form and not of matter itself, for matter is indestructible.”

219: “The subsidiary laws under the Law of Economy are four in number, dealing with the lower quaternary: …

  1. The Law of Repulsion, governs that relationship between atoms, which results in their non-attachment and in their complete freedom from each other; it also keeps them rotating at fixed points from the globe or sphere of opposite polarity.”

274: “2. Repetition of Cyclic Action is Governed by Two Laws: …

Perhaps it is more accurate to say that it is governed by one law, primarily, and a subsidiary law.
…
The general law, which produces cyclic effect, is the Law of Attraction and Repulsion, of which the subsidiary law is the Law of Periodicity, and of Rebirth.”

ALICE A. BAILEY: Cosmic Fire, page
1217: “Law 4.  The Law of Repulsion.  This law concerns itself with the ability of an atom to throw off, or refuse to contact, any energy deemed inimical to group activity.  It is literally a law of service, but only comes consciously into play when the atom has established certain basic discriminations, and guides its activities through a knowledge of the laws of its own being.  This law is not the same as the Law of Repulsion which is used in connection with the Law of Attraction between forms which have relation to the material.  The laws we are now considering have relation to the psyche, or to the Vishnu aspect.  One group of laws concern energies emanating from the physical sun; the ones we are now considering emanate from the heart of the Sun.  The “repulsion” here dealt with has the effect (when consciously applied through the developed heart energy of a human atom, for instance) of furthering the interests of the repulsed unit and of driving this unit closer to its own centre.  Perhaps some idea of the great beauty of this law as it works out can be gathered from an occult phrase in a certain old book:

“This repulsive force drives in seven directions, and forces all that it contacts back to the bosom of the seven spiritual fathers.”

Through repulsion, the units are driven home and the straying unconscious ones are forced towards their own centre.  The Law of Repulsion, or the stream of energy for which it is but a name, can work from any centre, but as dealt with here, it must emanate from the heart if it is to bring about the necessary group work.”

1220: “For each of these Laws, there is a definite formula and symbol.  At this stage of teaching or through this Treatise, it is not possible to reveal or impart the formulas.  The symbol may be described …

 Law 4.  Here we have the angel with the flaming sword turning in all directions.  This symbolism is held true in the Bible where the Angel guards the treasure, and drives man forth in search of another way of entrance, thus forcing him through the cycle of rebirth until he finds the portal of initiation.  This portal is occultly regarded as freed from the intervention of the sword as man has developed the ability to soar and mount as an eagle on wings.”

ALICE A. BAILEY: Esoteric Psychology II, pages 147 – 174
147 – 48: “First of all, it is well to realise that this law has certain characteristics and basic effects which might be briefly enumerated as follows:—

  1. The energy displayed is dissipating in its effect.  This law works as a dispersing agent.
  2. When in active expression, it causes an active scattering or rejection of the aspects of form life.
  3. It produces a discriminating contact which leads eventually to what is esoterically called “the Way of divine refusal.”
  4. It is, nevertheless, an aspect of the Law of Love, of the Vishnu or Christ aspect, and concerns an attitude of the soul, whose essential nature is love.
  5. This law expresses itself through the mind nature, and therefore can only make its presence and influence felt upon the Path of Discipleship.
  6. It is the prime pre-requisite to true self-knowledge. It reveals at the same time that it divides or scatters.
  7. It works through love and for the interest of the unit,—the form and the existence which finally repulses the form.
  8. It is an aspect of one of the greatest cosmic laws, the Law of the Soul, which is the cosmic Law of Attraction, for that which is attracted in time is automatically and eventually repulsed by that which attracted it in the first instance.

This law is one which primarily begins to impress the divine purpose upon the consciousness of the aspirant, and dictates to him those higher impulses and those spiritual decisions which mark his progress upon the Path. …”

159: “Once the aspirant upon the Probationary Path has a vision of this [the truth](no matter how slight it may be), then the law of desire which has governed him for ages will slowly and surely give place to the Law of Repulse, which will, in time, free him from the thralldom of not-self.  It will lead him to those discriminations and that dispassionate attitude which is the hallmark of the man who is on his way to liberation.”

Resonance
GEOFFREY HODSON: American Lectures
“By their music, the angels of sound manipulate, and direct and control the mighty forces of the creative Word, ever shaping the forms of the solar system nearer and nearer to the archetype in the Creator’s mind; ever attuning His many worlds nearer and nearer to the perfect sound – the note which He sings eternally, and which eventually must be echoed from all the forms which He has made. He works by the law of resonance, governs by the rule of rhythm, creates and unfolds by the power of sound. The aerial lords, with their subordinates, are His intelligent lieutenants in this aspect of His vast activities.”

Retribution – see Karma

Return
ALICE A. BAILEY: Esoteric Healing, page
246: “Therefore, the withering of a flower, death from old age in an animal or a tree, and the many diseases of the human being are all brought about by the pull of the powerful life of the planet, speaking esoterically; this is an aspect of what is called, erroneously, the Law of Gravitation.  This law is – again speaking esoterically – an aspect of the Law of Return, which governs the relation of a unit of life in form to its emanating source.”

Rhythm
ALICE A. BAILEY: Cosmic Fire, page
831: “We have endeavored above to convey a general idea of the evolutionary process in connection with the Ego, and its progression under karmic and cyclic law.  If the student ponders upon these two laws it will become apparent to him that both might be summed up under the generic term of the Law of Rhythm.”

ALICE A. BAILEY: White Magic, page
65 – 66: “The stilling of the mind depends upon the law of rhythm.  If you are vibrating in many directions and registering thoughts from all sides, this law will be unable to touch you.  Balance and poise must be restored before equilibrium can be reached.  The law of vibration and the study of atomic substance are closely intertwined.  When more is known about these atoms and their action, reaction and inter-action, then people will control their bodies scientifically, synchronizing the laws of vibration and of rhythm.  They are the same and yet unlike.  They are phases of the law of gravitation.  The earth is itself an entity which, by the force of will, holds all things to itself.”

ALICE A. BAILEY: Esoteric Healing, page
89: “A. Wrong Mental Attitudes. I would like to deal, first of all, with the basic premise that disease and physical liabilities are not the result of wrong thought.  They are far more likely to be the result of no thought at all, or are caused by the failure to follow those fundamental laws which govern the Mind of God.  One interesting instance of this failure is the fact that man does not follow the basic Law of Rhythm, which governs all the processes of nature, and man is a part of nature.  It is to this failure to work with the Law of Periodicity that we can trace much of the difficulty inherent in the use and the misuse of the sex urge.  Instead of man being governed by the cyclic manifestation of the sex impulse, and his life, therefore, being ruled by a definite rhythm, there exists at this time no such thing, except in the cycles through which the female passes, and little attention is paid to these.  The male, however, is not governed by any such cycles, and has broken in also on the rhythm to which the female body should be subordinated, and which – rightly understood – would determine the use of the sex relationship, including naturally the male impulse also.  This failure to live by the Law of Periodicity and to subordinate the appetites to cyclic control is one of the major causes of disease; and as these laws are given form on the mental plane, one might legitimately say that their infringement has a mental basis.  This might be the case if the race were working mentally, but it is not.  It is in the modern world of today that there is beginning a widespread infringement of these mental laws, particularly of the Law of Cycles, which determines the tides, controls world events and should also condition the individual and so establish rhythmic life habits—one of the major predisposing incentives to good health.”

ANNIE BESANT: On Moods
“And how shall we meet these moods? First, I think, by a recognition of what is called the law of rhythm, which H.P.B, in The Secret Doctrine, puts as one of the fundamental truths; and yet it is a law which few people understand at all, apparently, in its bearing on themselves. What are these moods of enthusiasm and indifference but the inevitable working of this law of periodicity? These moods must take their part in our emotional and intellectual life – as inevitably as night and day, as necessary as night and day. A person who was without these changes would be like a person who is either always in the night or always in the day. But the wise man should endeavour to bring the day into the night and the night into the day, and that brings about what is often called the Higher Indifference, an equability that is maintained under all conditions. It is not that the night and day cease to follow each other; it is not that the darkness and light do not still fall upon the soul; but that the soul, recognising them, is no longer affected by them, feels them without being shaken by them, experiences them without confusing them with himself.”

Rhythm – Equality of Rhythm
ALICE A. BAILEY: Esoteric Healing, page 105 – 112
105 – 106: “Three Major Laws of Health. There are three major laws of health and seven minor laws.  These work out in the three worlds, which is all that concerns you at this time.  In all teaching to be given in the immediate future, the main emphasis will eventually be laid upon the technique of the etheric body, for that is the next step forward. The three major laws are:

  1. The law controlling the will to live, a manifestation of the first aspect of the Logos, will or power.
  2. The law controlling equality of rhythm, a manifestation of the second aspect of the Logos, love or wisdom.
  3. The law controlling crystallisation, a manifestation of the third aspect of the Logos, the activity or foundational aspect.”

Right Human Relations – see Six Laws and Principles for the New Age in the section Groupings

Right Use
LUCILLE CEDERCRANS: Disciple and Economy, Chapter 22, page
204: “The first law, basic Law of Economy, which has to be wielded by the disciple who is endeavoring to live according to higher Law is that of Right Use. When I speak of the word “right”, I am not referring to any moralities. Right Use of that which is at hand, of that which is immediately at hand, Right Use according to the Law. What does the Law of economy deal with?

Basically it deals with the manifestation, does it not? It is the economy of the substantial forces of an organized life that results in manifestation, one kind of manifestation or another. According to the right use, under Law; right meaning according to the Laws of Economy, of that which you already have, will manifest the Plan you seek to serve. This is the first law. … If that which is at hand is not put into right use, right according to the Law, you have immediately a breakdown in your economy.

207: “When the disciple has learned to put into right economic use that, which is immediately at hand, he has resolved the problem of finances once and for all.”

Ritual and Divine Ceremonial
ALICE A. BAILEY: Discipleship in the New Age II, page
454: “… the seventh ray is the ray of interlude—an interlude and a ray which becomes active when the attractive, magnetic work of the building rays is ready to precipitate into the phenomenal world and bring about—under the Law of Ritual and of Divine Ceremonial—new phases of work. These are initiated in the silence of the process of abstraction, released when the interlude of tension has completed its work, and become effective when the interlude of recognition has made a new refocussing possible.”
