Introduction

The author explains that the Secret Diary is not a literary device but a faithful reflection of his real mystical experiences, carefully selected from his personal journals. These entries document the stages of the Path that led him into an Ashram of the planetary Hierarchy, where he submitted to the laws of esoteric training and established conscious contact with a high Member of the Great White Brotherhood. He clarifies that while the title includes the word "Secret," modern spiritual conditions now allow for the revelation of previously veiled esoteric truths.

He states that he does not recount every psychic or personal experience from childhood, since such details are secondary. Instead, he focuses on the events that had true spiritual significance in which advanced human and deva beings observed his progress and prepared him for his eventual contact with the Ashram and with his Master, who will one day guide him to the One Initiator.

A major theme of the introduction is the role of deva contact. After entering the Ashram, the author experienced conscious interaction with devas of many evolutionary levels, from elemental builders of earth, water, and air to exalted angelic beings such as the Angel Jezazel, to whom he dedicated a previous book.

He also emphasizes that psychic powers are not the goal of discipleship. They are natural faculties of the soul and can only be safely developed after conscious alignment with the Higher Self. Nevertheless, he will describe certain Ashramic experiences involving higher psychic abilities such as telepathy, psychometry, and intuition.

The author outlines the requirements for entering an Ashram:

• the development of goodwill of the heart,

• a strong and disciplined mind,

• and the eventual emergence of intuition from the fusion of both.

He stresses that Service is not something one chooses intellectually; it arises spontaneously when the disciple reaches the appropriate stage. In his own life, the field of service appeared with such clarity and force that he never had to “choose” it.

Finally, he explains why the diary is only “secret” in a relative sense. In earlier eras, much occult knowledge had to remain veiled due to humanity’s immaturity. But with the activation of the Seventh Ray and the awakening of new mental and intuitive capacities, the Hierarchy now permits certain teachings to be revealed openly.

The introduction closes by inviting readers—aspirants and potential disciples—to use their intuition to uncover the deeper truths hidden beneath the intellectual surface of his narrative.

Keynotes

• Purpose of the Diary: The book acts as a record of the author's mystical experiences, tracking the transition from a spiritual aspirant to a trained disciple and, finally, in training for (the third) initiation within a Hierarchical Ashram.

• Hierarchical Contact: He describes his entry into an Ashram of the Great White Brotherhood and his conscious contact with high-level members and his Master.

• Deva Interactions: A primary focus is his interaction with the Deva (angelic) kingdom, ranging from nature elementals to highly evolved beings like the Angel Jesazel.

• Psychic Powers: Beltrán-Anglada notes that higher psychic powers (telepathy, intuition) should only be developed after contacting the Higher Self to avoid danger.

• The "Secret" Aspect: The term "secret" is relative; the "Seventh Ray" has recently activated human mental areas, allowing for the disclosure of occult information that was once forbidden.
