Update on Coming Blog Changes

Chela Within the Aura, III – Contact With the Master, Part Three

This post summarized the idea of what contact with a Master looks like in regards to the writings of Alice Bailey and then goes on to examine some of the potential pitfalls of the “Guru/Disciple” relationship borrowing primarily from the writings of those within the Transpersonal, Integral, and Buddhism field. These writings are particularly invaluable because they come from the real life experiences of those who have lived out these relationships, especially in modern times. 

Chela Within the Aura, III – Contact With the Master, Part Two

Chela Within the Aura, III – Contact With the Master, Part One

This post lays the groundwork as we attempt to clarify the muddy waters concerning what it means to have contact with a “Master.” The post discusses where the notion of contact with a Master came from, how it has become distorted over time, and how it relates to the Buddhist idea of the outer Master (guru), the inner Master (guru), and the secret Master (guru). 

Chela in the Aura, II – Equanimity & Increased Comprehension

This post continues our exploration of the stage known as the Chela in the Aura in regards to the Alice Bailey model and shares how to get to this level one must have equanimity and hold a very comprehensive point of view regarding many areas of understanding if they are going to be effective in solving the Problems of Humanity.  The post also shares how the Integral model includes some similarities to this stage, especially at their higher levels of development.
