What reading have you done along esoteric, occult, philosophical, theosophical, spiritual, new age, trans-personal, etc., lines? Please list major authors (other than Alice A. Bailey), titles, and/ or subject matter which most impressed you and, briefly, why.
Are you familiar with the writings of Alice Bailey? Please list the titles of the Bailey Books which you have read.
Have you heard of or studied the seven rays? If you have an opinion of your ‘ray makeup’, which rays express through your soul, personality and three personality vehicles? Why do you think so?
Have you studied astrology, esoteric astrology, or esoteric psychology?

Religion and Pathways to Spiritual Understanding
Did you grow up in a certain religious background?
Do you now consider yourself a member of any religious tradition or spiritual group or pathway? If so, when did you join this tradition? How do you find it fulfilling?
Are you currently observing any practices/ disciplines in this tradition? Are you currently practicing pranayama exercises? Please explain.
If it is found that any such practices interfere with the esoteric meditations which you will be pursuing if accepted into the Morya Federation, do you think you would be willing to change or relinquish such practices? (It is well established that certain meditation practices may work at cross purposes, and cannot be safely or productively followed simultaneously.)
Spiritual discernment:an important goal in this work is to develop spiritual discernment or discrimination, to rely on your own judgment - with the goal in mind of achieving Self-realisation - that is, realisation of oneself as a higher spiritual being. The primary method to achieving this is esoteric meditation - seeking to establish a working relationship with your soul.

This is very different from lower psychism, or “sitting for development” which develops the lower psychic powers and which cultivates communication with discarnate beings. Be very clear on this, because if this latter point is your goal, this course of study will not suit you.

Is your goal Self-realisation through esoteric meditation?

Do you believe in the existence of the Masters of the Wisdom and a Spiritual Hierarchy of such Masters upon our planet? If this concept is new to you, do you have an open mind about such concepts?
Do you believe in reincarnation, or at least have an open mind about the doctrine of rebirth?

Meditation and the State of Physical and Mental Health

Concentrated and steady meditation of the type that is taught in Morya Federation stimulates the energies of the mind, hence the following questions.

List any previous or existing illnesses, physical or mental irregularities. Have any of these required admission to a hospital or significant recovery periods?
What is the general state of your physical health? Do you experience debilitating headaches, insomnia, nausea, etc? Is there anything about your present physical or mental health which would prevent you from following meditative training with the Morya Federation?
Are you currently taking any doctor-prescribed medications? If so, what are the names of these medications, how long have you been taking them, and for what diagnosis are they prescribed? (‘Birth Control’ pills need not be listed.)
Do you regularly use alcohol, recreational drugs, or tobacco? (If you have an addiction, or respond “Yes” for any reason, are you willing to address this professionally or abstain for the duration of the Morya Federation Program if your use is excessive, debilitating, or you wish to quit?)
Have you ever experienced over-stimulation - or any other problems, due to meditation or other spiritual practices? Please explain.
Do you agree, that if you should start to experience psychological difficulties while participating in the meditation program - for whatever reason, that you will immediately stop meditating and alert your mentor or Morya Federation School Administrator to seek assistance?

Meditation and Other Spiritual Practices

What is your motive for practicing meditation?
What role has prayer and/or meditation played in your past?
If you have had formal training in meditation, what methods have you practiced? If you are self-taught in meditation, what techniques or methods have you evolved?
What if any meditational approaches or techniques do you presently practice? (Likewise, if it is found that any such practices interfere with the esoteric meditations which you will be pursuing, do you think you would be willing to change or relinquish such practices?)

Do you meditate regularly?
For what average length of time do you meditate?
Do you find meditation easy or hard or somewhere in-between?
How do you think your meditation could be improved or deepened?

Sources of Motivation:

Are you deeply interested in esoteric or spiritual teaching?

Are you attempting to discipline yourself in order to achieve greater beauty of life?
What do you believe to be your motive for seeking to enroll in the Morya Federation?
