He has written extensively in the fields of astrology, meditation, healing and metaphysics. In the 1970's he established Claregate College both in the U.S. and UK, which specialises in teaching various courses based upon his writings.

Dr Baker's teaching are based on those Alice Bailey who was closely associated with Theosophy and the Theosophical Society. He claims to have been expelled from The South African branch of the Theosophical Society.
