Bailey's works, written between 1919 and 1949, describe a wide-ranging neo-Theosophical system of esoteric thought covering such topics as how spirituality relates to the Solar System, meditation, healing, spiritual psychology, the destiny of nations, and prescriptions for society in general.

The Beacon (Eastham, Massachusetts)
The Three Sisters of Nauset are a trio of historic lighthouses off Cable Road in Eastham, Massachusetts. The original three brick towers fell into the sea due to erosion in 1890 and were replaced with wooden towers on brick foundations in 1892. The Sisters were decommissioned in 1911 but one of them, the Beacon, was moved back from the shoreline and attached to the keeper's house. It continued to operate but was replaced by a new steel tower, the Nauset Light, in 1923. Construction The first set of lighthouses were commissioned by Congress in 1837 and built for $10,000, to provide for a light halfway along the eastern coast of Cape Cod. Because there was one light (the Cape Cod Light) in Truro, and two lights (the Twin Lights) in Chatham, it was decided that there should be three lights to distinguish between the other lights. Built apart in a straight line along the crest of the cliffs, they were brick, tall and wide at the base, and wide at the lantern deck. Each was pai ...

The main names associated with the magazine were Albert M. Gomes, C. L. R. James and Alfred H.

Among other notable writers and artists associated with the influential group were Ralph de Boissière and Hugh Stollmeyer. Preceded by the short-lived pioneering literary magazine ''Trinidad'' (which made two appearances, in 1929 and 1930), ''The Beacon'' "marked the emergence of Trinidadian short story and the beginning of national literature in Trinidad", one of its achievements being "to encourage West Indian writers to examine their own societies, and to discard Eurocentric preconceptions and literary conventions."
