alignment for purpose

Mental alignment

• Clear, focused thought.
• Ability to hold attention.

Alignment is the state in which the personality (physical, emotional, and mental bodies) stands in conscious rapport with the soul.

The ultimate goal is not to escape the personality, but to make the personality a transparent instrument for the soul’s purpose.

Interestingly, this is why Barbara Pijan repeatedly emphasizes “projecting consciousness onto the spiritual plane and leaving it there.” In Bailey’s system, that is the highest form of alignment: living from the soul while functioning normally in the world.

Identify yourself with the soul, with your purpose

The soul becomes the observer of circumstances, emotions, and thoughts.

Shift identity upward

Instead of:

“I am my success.”

or

“I am my pain.”

or

“I am my desires.”

you practice:

“I am the soul using these instruments.”

Observe rather than react

Suppose someone insults you online.

Astral consciousness:

Fight back immediately.

Soul consciousness:

Why am I reacting? What response serves the highest good?

The emotion isn’t denied; it just isn’t the boss.

What is the most helpful and loving thing I can do in this moment?

Bailey taught that:

• the body is useful,
• emotions are useful,
• the mind is useful,

but they should become servants of the soul rather than masters of consciousness.

Alignment, in Barbara Pijan’s/Alice Bailey’s system, means living in the world while remaining inwardly identified with the soul, allowing thought, emotion, speech and action to express higher qualities instead of merely reacting from desire and fear.

The personality isn’t the enemy. It’s the instrument.

Soul love

• Goodwill
• Inclusiveness
• Freedom
• Harmlessness

Purpose gives rise to clear thought, clear thought conditions feeling, feeling motivates action, and action manifests purpose.

CLARITY, CLEAR THOUGHT
