Dear Steve,
Could you, or anyone else, point me to the page references within
the Alice Bailey works, where I might find the statements that lead
you to this conclusion:
"Alice Baley's thesis that inferior races
need to be wiped out so that high church Englishwomen
like hersefl can proliferate is pretty nasty".
I read most of her works, years ago, but never found anything that
led me to that conclusion. Perhaps I need to take another look.
Thanks.
Louis
