I think it's interesting how on page 4 the authors seem to correlate Hierarchy with Earths soul. I never heard that before. Also never heard that Dwal Khul had incarnated as Confucius. Is that mentioned in any of the Bailey books? The Buddha quote at the end of the chapter reminds me of the old saying "to thine own self be true."

Bryan, I have never heard of the Hierarchy either... I have, however always felt that there must be some sort of "galaxy" or some sort of overarching structure, that our planet is part of. Still not very clear from reading the preface and the first 10 pages that the "Hierarchy" IS.
The Hierarchy is first mentioned in the preface on page ix, and it's mentioned as the "Planetary Hierarchy", which is what made me think of a larger "governmental body". Also didn't know about the reincarnation of Confucius, that was pretty cool.
And love your quote, reminds me of another one by Buddha: “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”

The whole thing (i read the preface and the first 10 pages) really resonated with me. There are many topics that I feel I have experienced or used to some degree before, and it feels AMAZING that someone has managed to put all that experience in words. When i used to try to describe these experiences, i found it challenging to find words that described such non-ordinary things that i had never heard before! Some of these topics are: the thread, on page iii "the essence of all being" at the bottom of the page, on page iv about the necessity of imparting this experience, about the four degrees of initiates on page v, the work required on page vii. Essentially loved how the emphasis of book so far is on self empowerment, we/the authors can guide you so you can do for yourself what we learned to do for ourselves. It rings true to me and I completely believe it's the highest and best path that any student can hear from a teacher. also love on page 4, that it gives the exact steps on how to do it (and i assume will be further expanded upon later in the book). I feel that the perfect balance for a teacher is that they hold the highest energy AND also can provide a path for the student to follow to get there too, but not a vague path, a very specific, step by step road, that the beginner needs at first. most awesome was on page 6, where you can contact the author directly, i've totally done that before, not just with authors, but with others that i've had questions for (teachers, etc), that i couldn't just pick up the phone and call. Kind of cool i'm not the only one  Looking forward to the next 10 pages thank you Bryan for setting this up for us!! Sending much love and light to all!!! Speranta |

On first reading I felt a mix of fear (safely enduring the process, damage to vehicles, qualified receivers) then lots of hope (Touchstone of Truth pg 9). I began this process not knowing exactly what it was or what to expect. Wondering, can I do this, am I good enough...all the usual suspects showed up. Yet here I am. Truth is what I have always asked for. Have the soft whispers finally penetrated the mass of thoughts? I don't know. As for the usual suspects they will just have to deal with it.
Yes, thank you Bryan for setting this forum up. And thanks to everyone for their participation.
Blessings,
Theresa

Hi everybody,
Great to be part of a Group consciousness.
In the introduction page XIII : We....have had lifetimes of experience with the teachings of the tibetan master Dwal Khul......
It's nice to remember all your other lifetimes and be able to gain from those experiences.
Allso as a tip to myself and mabey to others is to right down any commentaries or questions while I'm reading because I cannot remember anything anymore after having read a few days ago...
Love Frans

Now reading the next chapters, i will start with my questions already at the start, otherwise we have all the questions at the end of the week...
on page 12:NOTHING IS ABSOLUTELY SO
on page 13: there is only Nature manifesting through its immutable laws.
Now a law feels as a form of absolute, something that is pre determined.
How do you guys see this?
love karin

Aloha Everyone -
I especially felt some direction and clarification from Introduction xvi about making the effort to build the Central Channel, that is a vital component part of the structure of the Antahkarana. This seems to be connected to the idea of 'continuity of consciousness': both to subjectively be able to abstract and to outwardly bring through or down the understanding of service as indicated by the Hierarchical Plan.
The 2nd point of direction is from pages 2-4 under The Ancient Wisdom: "...modified, qualified and adapted" are essential tools to adapt to cultures, civilizations, languages the Ancient Wisdom. This reminded me of 3 essential points stated in Light on the Path by Mabel Collins: 1) The perennial truths will always be available to Humanity across time and space., 2) The Way of the Path is always available to the eternal Selfl, and 3) Each man is his own lawgiver. Learning to keep the essential Wisdom Teaching and Practices and tossing out outworn thought forms and practices are skills that indicate the internal spiritual awakening of the Inner [Higher] Self.
Now I am getting ready for the 2nd set of 10 pages. I continue to appreciate the group's Light and efforts and this sharing process.
Let your Light Shine on and on...
