Interview with a Ghostpire: Alice Bailey

It’s Moonday at Interview with a Ghostpire, and I’ll be talking to Alice Bailey about Flat Earth. 

So Alice, I’m dying to know, have you been paying attention to Flat Earth theories?

“We must resign ourselves to the fact that the only way in which we can find the clue to the mystery of the rays, systems, and hierarchies, lies in the study of the law of correspondences or analogy. It is the one thread by which we can find our way through the labyrinth, and the one ray of light that shines through the darkness of the surrounding ignorance.”

Haha, Our personal truth/community is important to me as well. Do you think chasing misinformation can be a path that leads towards someone’s destiny? 

“Much must remain esoteric and veiled. The risks of too much knowledge are far greater than the menace of too little. With knowledge comes responsibility and power,—two things for which the race is not yet ready. Therefore, all we can do is to study and correlate with what wisdom and discretion may be ours, using the knowledge that may come for the good of those we seek to help, and recognising that in the wise use of knowledge comes increased capacity to receive the hidden wisdom.”

It does seem to be a comforting family for the people involved. So, maybe they’ve truly uncovered some meaning of love. 

“THE LORD BUDDHA HAS SAID that we must not believe in a thing said merely because it is said; nor traditions because they have been handed down from antiquity; nor rumors, as such; nor writings by sages, because sages wrote them: nor fancies that we may suspect to have been inspired in us by a Deva (that is, in presumed spiritual inspiration); nor from inferences drawn from some haphazard assumption we may have made; nor because of what seems an analogical necessity; nor on the mere authority of our teachers or masters. But we are to believe when the writing, doctrine, or saying is corroborated by our own reason and consciousness. "For this," says he in concluding, "I taught you not to believe merely because you have heard, but when you believed of your consciousness, then to act accordingly and abundantly.”

Have you ever encountered a plane you thought was flat or lacked depth?

“The entire universe is a great theatre of mirrors.” 

Alice! Reflections and projections is our new band name. I’ve really enjoyed talking with you today. Do you have any last remarks for the readers? 

“In these days of the shattering of the old form and the building of the new, adaptability is needed. We must avert the danger of crystallisation through pliability and expansion. The "old order changeth," but primarily it is a change of dimension and of aspect, and not of material or of foundation.”
