Book review: The Esoteric Apprentice by Steven Chernikeeff

The Esoteric Apprentice

About The Esoteric Apprentice

Students of the Ageless Wisdom brought together for dynamic group work in Twelve Formation.

This is their story…
A story of hope, frustration, and achievement.
This is the story of the Twelves Group and I was the Esoteric Apprentice.

My thoughts

The Esoteric Apprentice is a special book that makes an important contribution to the understanding of esoteric practice when it is aimed at human and planetary betterment. The work in question, Twelves, concerns, in layperson’s terms, a form of ritualised group meditation. Chernikeeff provides insights into the motivations, purpose or intention, the methods and the reasoning behind pure, spiritually focused group work, which serves to put into practice that which was delineated at considerable length in the texts of Theosophist Alice A. Bailey.

Written as memoir in accessible and engaging prose, the narrative is peppered with explanations and quotations, providing the lay reader with a sort of primer, and the esoterically minded with an example of what is achievable through dedication and a commitment to act. Chernikeeff documents twenty years of dedication and commitment in a very human manner. Honesty, integrity and above all humility infuse this short book. The structure and presentation are excellent.

Alice Bailey’s texts were meant not only to inform and help foster inner transformation, they were given as guidance for esoteric practice in all its forms, for the use by those on the right-hand path of love, wisdom and goodwill. Chernikeeff and the Twelves participants are to be commended for their efforts at applying the teachings, captured by the author in The Esoteric Apprentice.

In all, The Esoteric Apprentice is a valuable resource and a must read for all esoteric practitioners who aspire to foster global change for the better.

      1. Hi Isobel, Did uou have a chance to speak to Steven? It is about the inheritance. In case he is not willing to proceed could he confirm the other relatives details – I think in Kiev – as they could be interested I believe. Steven has closed his profiles in Facebook so I was not able to contact him then. If you are UK based please call me on 07736 300779 so I will explain the issue. Thank you. Andrew

      2. Dear Andrew, Steven has sent an email to your hotmail account. If you do not receive it, let me know and I will give you his. Thank you and apologies for all of this caution. Isobel
