Lucis Trust

Lucis Trust

Lucis Trust is a non-profit trust incorporated in New York State, created in 1920 by Alice Bailey and her husband Foster, to manage the business of publishing Mrs. Bailey's twenty–five esoteric books. Its headquarters are in New York City, London and Geneva.

In addition to continuing to publish her books worldwide, Lucis Trust's activities also include a correspondence school based on her teachings (known as the Arcane School), a lending library of esoteric books known as Lucis Trust Libraries, a publishing house called Lucis Publishing Companies, Lucis Productions, World Goodwill and Triangles.

Today it has around 6,000 members, and an estimated annual revenue of $600,000.

The World Goodwill group, founded in 1932, is particularly important among Lucis Trust's activities, as it has been recognized by the United Nations as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), and is represented at regular briefing sessions at the United Nations in New York and Geneva. Lucis Trust is therefore a member of the UN Economic and Social Council.

In part because of this presence of Lucis Trust in the United Nations System, along with explicit reference by former Assistant Secretary General Robert Muller in his writings to Bailey's philosophy, some have accused the UN of having a New Age ideology, and agenda.

The organization was originally called the "Lucifer Publishing Company". [ [http://www.lucistrust.org/en/arcane_school/talks_and_articles/the_esoteric_meaning_of_lucifer The esoteric meaning of Lucifer.] ] However, the name "Lucis Trust" has been used from 1925. According to a statement on their website, the name "Lucifer" was used because, Bailey considered Lucifer, the fallen angel, a positive principle; as did, also, Helena Blavatsky [ [http://www.lucistrust.org/en/arcane_school/talks_and_articles/descent_and_sacrifice Descent and sacrifice] ] .
