Diamond Light
Make hard thy Soul against the snares
of
self; deserve for it the name of Diamond-Soul. For as
the diamond
buried deep within the throbbing heart of earth can
never mirror back
the earthly lights, so are thy mind and Soul; plunged in
Jnana-marga,
these must mirror naught of Maya's realm illusive.
The
Voice
of the Silence, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky
![]() ![]() ![]() The Diamond Light Newsletter is dedicated to the recognition and expression of the indwelling Soul, the Inner Christos at the heart of all life. As the above quotation from The Voice of the Silence indicates, "diamond" throughout the ages has been one of the terms by which the Soul is known. The Alchemists of past ages often interchanged the terms Philosophers' Stone, lapis and diamond. In the book, The Light of the Soul authored by Alice A. Bailey, two words are used to convey the idea of compact cohering force. One is the diamond, the other the thunderbolt. The diamond reflects the pure white light and yet reflects equally all the colors of the rainbow, the seven colors of the chromatic scale. In the esoteric wisdom the diamond is also considered the initiate within the mineral kingdom: "The best known example of the effect of the initiation of the mineral by fire can be seen in the great transition and transformation, allotropically brought about, from the carbon stage to that of the perfect diamond." (Esoteric Psychology, Vol. I by Alice A. Bailey, p. 224) We therefore named our newsletter Diamond
Light as a reminder of the indwelling Soul within
each of us which
is ever Initiate. As we awaken to that pure white light
and consciously
seek its unfoldment and expression, so we note, link
with and
exponentially augment the resplendent light within our
brother and
sister. The Soul is ever group conscious. Its cohering,
attractive
quality irradiates and imbues all planes and states of
planetary
consciousness with the triple energy of light, love and
the
will-to-good. Yet the Soul does not impose itself. Like
the diamond
buried deep within the earth, the Soul must be sought
with a singleness
of purpose. The techniques by which it is "mined" and
then honed and
polished to a brilliant purity are known to the
esotericists of the
ages as a definite science. Much information on this
science is
included within the Ageless Wisdom Teachings referred to
in this
newsletter. Within these few pages, we can but spark an
interest in the
reader and encourage exploration-an exploration we think
is not only
necessary but also more rewarding than any upon which
humanity has thus
far embarked! As the well known parable tells us, the
stolen jewel of
humanity's divinity lies deep within each individual. It
is now time to
bring it forth.
