Dear Eugene  ------

Where does Mrs Bailey write that her words about the Jews are symbolic & 
metaphoric?

Her words are concrete & literal.

"Today the law of racial karma is working and the Jews are paying the price 
factually and symbolically ... "

"They [the Jews] have never faced candidly and honestly as a race the 
problem of WHY [sic] the many nations, from the time of the Egyptians, have 
neither liked nor wanted them... Yet there must be some reason, inherent in 
the people themselves, when the reaction is so general and universal."

"The Jewish problem will be solved by the willingness of the Jew to conform 
to the civilization, the cultural background and the standards of living of 
the nation to which -- by the fact of birth and education -- he is related 
and should assimilate."

"The evil karma of the Jew today [written in 1949] is intended to end his 
isolation, to bring him to the point of relinquishing material goals, of 
renouncing a nationality that has a tendency to be somewhat parasitic within 
the boundaries of other nations, and to express inclusive love instead of 
separative unhappiness..."

Is Mrs Bailey writing about "all of humanity"?  Gene, it doesn't make sense. 
 Don't be an ostrich.

David
