    About this ebook

    Experiencing the Texts of Alice A. Bailey offers an in-depth exploration of the theosophical teachings that inspired the New Age.

    Adopting a holistic approach, Blackthorn delves into Bailey’s esoteric cosmology, explores the spiritual path, and tackles some of the more controversial aspects of the Bailey teachings.

    Profound and reflective, this book is perfect for students of the teachings and those interested in spiritual and esoteric teachings more broadly.

    This book is an edited and revised version of Blackthorn’s PhD dissertation The Texts of Alice A. Bailey: An inquiry into the role of esotericism in transforming consciousness.
