Theos-Talk Archives (August 2002 Message tt00034)

Hi Dennis and all,

Dennis wrote the following about the "Unfinished Autobiography" by Alice A.Bailey :
"I am surprised that others who cited many sources, evidently didn't
> want you to concider this on-line source."

Well Dennis, then I am somewhat surprised, that you didn't read or print out my email 
August 1st 2002 here at Theos-talk.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/theos-talk/message/7593 (email 7593)
and the in the email linked article also posted at Theos-talk at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/theos-talk/message/4389 (email 4389)
or http://home19.inet.tele.dk/global-theosophy/BLAVATSK.HTM (a newer version)

The article certainly mentions this Alice A. Bailey book.

The following will maybe be of some help.
I few days back I wrote the following in an email here at theos-talk:
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/theos-talk/message/7441)


"Q: But surely there is a system?

A: You do not know what a 'system' is. The work is really systematised at a
level much higher than intellect as you know it. Any apparent systematisation
is merely a working frame, concocted for the purpose of bringing the teaching a
little nearer to you. It does not have universal validity. The system is known
by the teacher and equally developed people, just as you know something so well
that you act in accordance with it inevitably. This work is natural, organic
and changes form, not content, in accordance with the needs of the people, the
work and the teacher. What serves as a system in one phase of the work is not a
system in another."

Question to be answered: So is the books of Bailey (and/or D.K.) a useable system ? 
Answer: Only up to a certain level. 
Spiritual development should NOT be confused with self-indulgence or philosophical narcissism, or strange emotional ritualism - á la Invocative kind.
Of course - It is allright, that the aspirant mean well.
BUT, As HPB said let us keep a global perspective - i.e. not only a pro-western one. 
Let us - in the present Information Society and because of its existence -teach each other the present wrongs and the rights of the western culture and its branches. Let us not avoid doing that !
A NEW WORLD ORDER governed by a inadequate Theosophical policy, which are ignorant of the TRUTH (and not the Televised one etc.) about the Middle Eastwill not be an ideal perspective - I bet Christ will roll and turn in his grave along with Kidhr, Krishna, ParaBrahman and etc....
