Soul

ALICE A. BAILEY: Rays and The Initiations, page
157: “When this control by the Laws of Nature has become complete, the man becomes an aspirant and begins to come under the Laws of the Soul, which are laws concerned primarily with the establishing of the great Fellowship of the Universe.  There has been much confusion among esotericists upon these points.  They confuse the discipline to which the personality has to submit when coming under soul influence, with the Laws of the Soul which have naught to do with the petty little affairs of the personality – unimportant and unnoticed by the soul on its own plane – but with the growing recognition of right group relations; these are based upon a growing understanding of the hierarchical mode of work and of inter-hierarchical relationships.  The Laws of Nature, therefore, concern the activities of the soul in form and are mandatory and accepted by the form nature.  The Laws of the Soul concern the life of the soul upon its own plane, and the relation which the blending soul and personality learn to establish with other souls and with the Hierarchy.  These are consciously and voluntarily obeyed, and are not just accepted as mandatory and as forced upon the man by force of circumstances, experience and evolution.  They tend to bring about increasing relation between the Hierarchy of Souls and Humanity as a whole, between the great planetary centre which is the custodian of the principle of love and the planetary centre, humanity, which nurtures and distributes the energy of mind.”

522 – 23: “What we call the Laws of Nature were the highest phase of the divine life possible in the first solar system.  They are primarily the laws inherent in the life aspect of the form and have in them, therefore, the seeds of death.  The Laws of the Soul as they subordinate and render negative the Laws of Nature, are the highest laws to which humanity (the highest kingdom in nature at present) can respond, and these – when fulfilled – will conclude the purpose of the second solar system.  The Laws of Life itself will finally supersede the Laws of the Soul and will completely offset and negate the Laws of Nature; these laws will be distinctive of the third solar system – the last personality expression of the solar Logos through the medium of the Seven Planetary Logoi with their varying forms and soul expressions.

Three Groups of Laws
We have, therefore, three groups of laws which govern the expression of the living purpose in this second solar system – one developed and another developing, with the third latent and relatively quiescent.

1. The Laws of Nature – the separative laws of the form nature.
2. The Laws of the Soul – the blending laws of group integrity.
3. The Laws of Life – the dynamic laws of Being itself.”

126: “All these laws of the Soul (and the Law of Service is no exception) manifest inevitably in two ways.  First, there is their effect upon the individual. … Secondly, these soul laws are beginning to have a group effect in humanity itself, and to influence the race of men as a whole.”

147: “[The Law of Repulse] 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.”
