The Externalisation of the Hierarchy

Readers drawn to the wisdom in our featured text by Alice A. Bailey, Serving Humanity, may wish to explore her wider body of work. 

In Serving Humanity, Bailey and the Tibetan Master Djwhal Khul teach that true service is not effort or moral duty, but the spontaneous outflow of a loving heart and an intelligent mind, arising only once the personality has cleared and aligned with the soul. Compiled from across her 24 books, it moves from the qualities of the true server out to a larger vision: a Plan carried forward by a Hierarchy of advanced beings. On Earth, that Plan is worked toward by a New Group of World Servers, scattered across every nation and field of human endeavour. 

The Externalisation of the Hierarchy examines the interdependence of all states of consciousness and kingdoms of nature on Earth, and explains the interaction between humanity, the Hierarchy, and Shamballa. It lays out the essentials of the Plan and Purpose that influence human affairs, and reveals how much the Hierarchy is dependent on human free will – a factor it cannot override even in moments of crisis. Much of the book concerns the period from 1919 to 1949, including a number of the Hierarchy's own 'Messages' given over the years at the Festivals of Easter, Wesak, and the Christ. The work offers the reader a clearer sense of what interdependence on this planet actually costs and asks: love, sacrifice, and service by each part to the needs of the whole.
