A Treatise on Cosmic Fire. Illustrated

A Treatise on Cosmic Fire is a monumental work of esoteric philosophy that explores the vast structure of creation through the lens of occult science, spiritual cosmology, and the Ageless Wisdom teachings. Written in collaboration with the Tibetan Master Djwhal Khul, this book offers a profound analysis of the universe, the soul, and consciousness — all as manifestations of divine fire. At the heart of this treatise lies the concept that fire is the primary agent of life and transformation on all levels — physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Bailey presents a detailed framework of three cosmic fires: Fire by Friction (matter), Solar Fire (soul), and Electric Fire (spirit), which together form the dynamic energy of evolution throughout the cosmos. The book explores topics such as the nature of the soul, the structure of the human being, the role of the planetary and solar Logoi, the building and destruction of forms, the chakras, and the intricate web of energies that underlie all existence. Drawing parallels between ancient Eastern teachings and modern occultism, Bailey reveals the hidden laws that govern both the microcosm (human) and the macrocosm (cosmic life). A Treatise on Cosmic Fire is not an introductory text. It is intended for advanced students of esotericism, Theosophy, and those committed to the inner path of discipleship. Its complexity is matched only by the depth of insight it offers into the mysteries of life, consciousness, and the divine plan. This work stands as one of the cornerstone texts of the modern esoteric tradition — a vast, illuminating exploration of the fire that burns at the heart of all being.
