• McGuire, William (1989) An Adventure in Collecting the Past Princeton University Press

In a book on history of the Bollingen Foundation and its pervasive influence on American intellectual life, William McGuire wrote:

"In 1928 Olga[1] built a lecture hall on her grounds, overlooking the lake, for a purpose not yet revealed to her, and a guest house which she named Casa Shanti in a Hindu ceremony. A year or two later, she went to the United States and sought out Alice A. Bailey, in Stamford, Connecticut, a former Theosophists who led a movement called the Arcane School. Mrs Bailey, whom Nancy Wilson Ross has described as a woman of great dignity, kindness, and integrity, aimed like Olga Froebe at the raising of consciousness and the bridging of the East and West. She lived with a mystic presence, ‘the Tibetan,’ presumably one of the Theosophical Masters, who used her as an instrument to write a number of books devoted to Higher Truth…”

• Lewis, James R and J Gordon Melton (1992) Perspectives on the New Age SUNY Press

"The most important—though certainly not the only—source of this transformative metaphor, as well as the term "New Age," was Theosophy, particularly ... by the works of Alice Bailey." (Sinclair, Sir John R (1984) The Alice Bailey Inheritance Turnstone Press Limited)
