HOW THE BOOKS OF THE TIBETAN MASTER, DJWHAL Khul, WERE WRITTEN BY HIS AMANUENSIS, ALICE A. BAILEY

Quoted from: The Unfinished Autobiography of Alice A Bailey Pages 162-168

"It was in November 1919 that I made my first contact with the Tibetan," Alice Bailey writes in her autobiography. "I had sent the children off to school and
thought I would snatch a few minutes to myself and went out onto the hill close
to house. I seat down and began thinking and then suddenly I sat startled and
attentive. I heard what I thought was a clear note of music which sounded from
the sky, through the hill and in me. Then I heard a voice which said 'There are
some books which it is desired should be written for the public. You can write
then. Will you do so?' "

At first she refused, wanting nothing to do with automatic writing or any other
type of psychic phenomena. She was persuaded only after being assured that
the method employed would make use of her gift for higher telepathy and
would involve no aspect of lower psychism. She agreed to try for a couple of
weeks or a month and then decide how she felt about it. "It was during these
few weeks that I got the first chapters of 'Initiation, Human and Solar.'"

She writes, "In the early days of writing for the Tibetan, I had to write at regular
hours and it was clear, concise, definite dictation. It was given word for word,
in such a manner that I might claim that I definitely heard a voice. Therefore, it
might be said that I started with a clairaudient technique, But I very soon found,
as our minds got attuned, that this was unnecessary and that if I concentrated
enough and my attention was adequately focused I could register and write
down the thoughts of the Tibetan (His carefully formulated and expressed
ideas) as He dropped them into my mind."

"I make no changes in what I give out to the public from that which has been
given to me except that I will smooth the English or replace an unusual word
with one that is clearer, taking care, always, to preserve the sense as given....I
do not always understand what is given. I do not always agree. But I record it
all honestly and then discover it does make sense and evokes intuitive
response...After all, the books are His, not mine, and basically the
responsibility is His. He does not permit me to make mistakes and watches
over the final draft with great care."

*The book "The Light of the Soul" was a collaboration with the Tibetan (D.K.), in
that He gives the translation of the Sanskrit Sutras of Patanjali, and she contributed
the commentary, referring to the Tibetan occasionally for reassurance as to meaning.
