<i>&quot;A must-read for any Bailey student, anyone interested in the New Age movement, and for those who wonder, amidst our confused and divided world, where will it all end?&quot; </i><b>- &nbsp;Steven Chernikeeff, author of Esoteric Apprentice</b><br /><br />From tragic beginnings as an aristocratic orphan to becoming the mother of the New Age spiritual movement, Alice A. Bailey is one of the modern era&#39;s most misunderstood occult figures.<br /><br />Bailey&#39;s journey is a story of faith, from orthodox Christian beginnings, through a protracted spiritual crisis, to a newfound belief in Theosophy. A mystic and a seeker, a founder of global spiritual organizations, and a surmounter of adversity, Bailey&#39;s past is rife with injustices, myths, and misconceptions - including that she was an anti-Semite and a racist with a dark agenda.<br /><br />With scandals and controversies laid bare, Bailey&#39;s extraordinary life is revealed as a powerful, remarkable legacy.
