Theos-Talk Archives (March 2001 Message tt00014)

I have to agree with Compiler that "Newcomers" need to beware not to lump 
Theosophy in with so much of the New Age glitter at our disposal. I also 
wanted to put my two cents in that discernment is so very needed when 
comparing the Bailey Teachings with some of those other organizations using 
somewhat of the same terminology. There are a lot of spin-offs out there 
attempting to be connected with the Bailey Teachings...and yet are far from 
it. Just because some leader spouts off words they have taken from the 
Bailey books...or from HPB...or from Christ...or Mohammed...does not mean 
that his/her organization is truly representative of those Teachings. To 
each his own, though....we all have our own respective barometers for what 
we discern as True and valid, and we have to develop those barometers 
ourself. We also need to have respect or at least tolerance for those 
students who differ from us in their choice of teachings.

As for me....a student of Theosophy, AAB, and Agni Yoga...Dr. Stone's web 
site did not sound even remotely similar to the Teachings that I have been 
following for most of my adult life. At least not "my" interpretation of 
those Teachings.

sanctius:

I have a firm conviction that you do Theosophy a great injustice by pointing 
everyone, especially newcomers, to Dr. Joshua David Stone and his wife..... 
After looking over their web page that you pointed us to, and reading some 
of their material, I can surely see why you relate them to Alice Bailey, but 
can in no way see any connection to the Theosophy put forward by HPB for the 
Adept fraternity, in service to humanity.
