Theos-Talk Archives (December 2002 Message tt00028)

Hallo all of you,
Got mit uns,
Salam Aleikum,


Just to let you know.
At present - My problem is the below - coming from Alice A. Bailey (Esoteric
Psychology I, p.167). The word "NOT" was emphasized by me.

The first quote below (Problems of Humanity p. 162) is sort of sweet.
But the last quote below (Esoteric Psychology I, p.167), I just don't get.
My head starts spinning >:-)

With such a remark, as made by Bailey in the below, and supported by some
followers, one clearly will be creating, OR, indeed ARE creating problems
Internationally !
With the present attitude among the Bailey-followers towards the Middle
East,
problems are created, for sure.
If the attitudes of the Bailey-followers are claimed to be proper and right
towards the Middle East, - then, I, a former Bailey-member just have to say,
that their Public Relations - stinks.
(Just a view: And this book: "A LEARNING EXPERIENCE" - by Mary Bailey, by
the way states, that the Bailey-followers ought not to turn the Bailey-books
in to a Bible-collection. --- And yet I have to say, I have seen a great
number of the Bailey-followers to exactly that. And if it is not the
Bailey-followers intention to do this, the Lucis Trust, certainly - badly
needs changing, when we talk PR - i.e. Public Relations).
Well, these are just views from a former Bailey-member.

And these issues are especially important, because - some- Bailey-groups
today have influences reaching deeply (and at high levels) into the United
Nations politics - and the Meditation Room at the United Nations Head
Quarters, which for some stranges reason - has not been placed somewhere in
the Middle East...!
Let us remember, and not forget, that we live in an information-society.
Please...

Any comments from pro-Bailey's on that one ?
Anyone?:

"The establishing of a measure of uniformity of procedure will not prove so
difficult once a measure of unity on the spiritual essentials has been
achieved. This carefully determined uniformity will aid men everywhere
to strengthen each other's work and enhance powerfully the stream of thought
energy which can be directed towards those spiritual Lives, working under
the Christ, Who stand expectantly waiting to come to the aid of humanity.
At present the Christian religion has its great Festivals; the Buddhist
keeps his particular set of spiritual events, and the Hindu has still
another list of holy days, as has also the Mohammedan. Is it not possible
that in the world of the future, men everywhere and of all faiths will
keep the same holy days and unite in honor of the same Festivals? This
will bring about a pooling of spiritual resources and a united spiritual
effort, plus a simultaneous spiritual invocation. The potency of this is
surely apparent."

"Every great religion which arises is under the influence of one or other of
the rays, but it does not necessarily follow that each successive ray
should have a great far-reaching religion as its outcome. We have heard
that Brahmanism is the last great religion which arose under first ray
influence; we do not know what may have been the religion which was the
outcome of the last second ray period; but the Chaldean, the Egyptian
and the Zoroastrian religions may be taken as representing the third,
the fourth, and the fifth rays respectively. Christianity and probably
Buddhism were the result of sixth ray influence. Mohammedanism, which
numbers so large a following, is also under sixth ray influence, but it
is NOT a great root religion, being a hybrid offshoot of Christianity
with the tinge of Judaism."



I will now return and listen to the speech "I've been to the Mountain Top"
by Martin Luther King Jr.

See you around or round...>:-)
