Initiation, Human and Solar delineates the graded path of discipleship, from probation to adeptship, within a theosophical cosmology linking human evolution to the life of a Solar Logos. In didactic, tabulated prose, Bailey profiles the planetary Hierarchy, the Masters of Wisdom, rays, devas, and solar angels, proposing initiation as an exact science of consciousness oriented to group service. Alice A. Bailey (1880-1949), a British-born esotericist who moved beyond the Theosophical Society, presented the book as teachings telepathically dictated by the Tibetan, Djwhal Khul. Her postwar humanitarian work and the founding of the Arcane School and Lucis Trust with Foster Bailey inform the text's disciplined, service-centered pedagogy. Students of Western esotericism and seekers alike will find a concise, organizing map of modern occultism. Demanding but clarifying, the book rewards patient, critical reading with a coherent framework linking inner training to ethical action and world service. As primary source and practical guide, it remains a touchstone for studies of initiation.
