Lucis Trust

The activities of the Lucis Trust promote the education of the human mind towards recognition and practice of the spiritual principles and values upon which a stable and interdependent world society may be based.

ACTIVITIES

The activities of the Lucis Trust include the worldwide financial support of the Arcane School, the Lucis Publishing Companies, World Goodwill, Triangles, Lucis Trust Libraries and Lucis Productions. Activities are offered to the public, without charge, in eight languages.

THE ARCANE SCHOOL

The Arcane School was created by Alice A. Bailey in 1923 as a training school for adult men and women in meditation techniques and the development of spiritual potentiality. The School provides sequential courses of study and meditation, and practical training in group service.

The Arcane School is conducted by correspondence in eight languages through headquarters in New York, London, and Geneva.

The Arcane School is nonpolitical and nonsectarian. All are served. Since 1923 tens of thousands of students have taken advantage of the training.

No charges are made by the School for its services. The work is financed through the Lucis Trust by the voluntary contributions of students and those interested in the work of the School and in the teaching. Each gives according to personal circumstances.

LENDING LIBRARIES

The Lucis Trust maintains lending libraries of esoteric and occult books covering a wide variety of classifications. The libraries are maintained by voluntary donations only; books may be borrowed by mail.

THE LUCIS PUBLISHING COMPANIES

The Lucis Publishing Company of New York and the Lucis Press Ltd. of London, England publish the books written by Alice A. Bailey. The books have a wide distribution in the English language all over the world and have been translated and published in many European languages. They are also being translated and published in other languages of the world.

Publication of the books is financed through a revolving Fund under the administration of the Lucis Trust in order to provide for reprinting. Monies contributed to this Fund have been used many times over. No royalties are paid, and copyrights are owned by the Lucis Trust.

The Beacon magazine is published quarterly by the Lucis Press. This is a magazine of esoteric philosophy presenting the principles of the Ageless Wisdom teaching as a contemporary way of life.

TRIANGLES

Triangles was founded in 1937 to stimulate the growth of right human relations by uniting like-minded men and women of goodwill in a spiritual service.

Triangles is an activity of the mind, using the power of thought and of prayer to invoke light and goodwill for all humanity. The work is done by units of three people linked in a worldwide Network.

The work is financed by the voluntary donations of Triangles workers to the Lucis Trust.
