A Treatise on White Magic

About this book

Alice A. Bailey begins her account of white magic inside the human mind. A thought already has consequences in her system, and learning to direct it becomes the first discipline of the aspiring practitioner.

Built around fifteen rules, Bailey's work explores mental discipline, the relationship between personality and soul, and the responsibility she associates with spiritual service. Her 'magic' concerns the direction of consciousness and conduct, with little interest in spectacular effects. Her account develops the thought-form idea found in Annie Besant and C. W. Leadbeater's work into a demanding system of practice.
