«I. The Monady or pure Spirit, the Father in Heaven. This aspect reflects the three aspects of the Godhead : 1. Will or Power The Father. 2. Love-wisdom The Son. 3. Active Intelligence The Holy Spirit. and is only contacted at the final initiations, when man is nearing the end of his journey and is perfected.» — el primer término de esa constitución: la Mónada o Espíritu puro, el Padre en los Cielos, que refleja los tres aspectos de la Divinidad y solo se contacta en las iniciaciones finales; el troceo imprime Monady por Monad.

What does this tradition say about experience, knowledge and transformation? We approach these questions with consciousness as our centre, listening to the language of each source.

1 · Listen to the sources
How these passages were chosen: from the works assigned to this tradition, in alphabetical order, the first passage of each whose quoted words name consciousness, awareness, soul, spirit or knowledge (in English or Spanish); one per work, up to four. The choice is by vocabulary only: a passage may agree with our reading, disagree with it, or leave the question open.
«Secondly, to express that which is subjective in comprehensible terms, and to point out the next step forward in the understanding of the true psychology. It is an elucidation of the relation existing between Spirit and Matter, which relation demonstrates as consciousness . It will be found that the Treatise deals primarily with the aspect of mind, with consciousness and with the higher psychology, and less with matter as we know of it on the physical plane» — el segundo proposito que el Foreword declara, en voz de Alice A. Bailey: expresar lo subjetivo en terminos comprensibles y senalar el paso siguiente hacia la verdadera psicologia, porque la relacion entre Espiritu y Materia se despliega como consciencia, de modo que el tratado va sobre la mente y no sobre la materia fisica.
«It was while most anxious to solve these perplexing problems that we came into contact with certain men, endowed with such mysterious powers and such profound knowledge that we may truly designate them as the sages of the Orient.» — la fuente declarada de *Isis Unveiled*, en primera persona del plural.
«The inexorable shadow which follows all human innovations moves on, yet few are they, who are ever conscious of its approach and dangers.» — la sombra inexorable que, según la Carta I de K. H., sigue a toda innovación humana.
