Theos-Talk Archives (January 2003 Message tt00246)

Hi P. Lindsay and all of you,

What do you think about the fact, that some Bailey groups today are heavily
involved with the international political body - The United Nations ?
(Just search the Internet if you are in doubt. What about Gordon Davidson -
and Rober Muller ?).

Do you P. Lindsay and others support the below view of Alice A. Baileys ???:
Esoteric Psychology I; p. 167:

"...note chat this movement was started by a secret society which has [167]
existed in the world since the last period of seventh ray dominance in
Atlantean times.
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."

My humble view is:
This is a critical statement today january 2003.
I just can't support such a view - while knowing, that a number of
pro-Baileys are involved with the United Nations ! To support this view will
certainly have moral and even racial implications.
I do hope I have made my position clear.

What is your view P. Lindsay, do you support the above?
What is the readers views?

I can only support D. Caldwells view when quoting Blavatsky on
http://www.blavatskyarchives.com/hpbes1extract.htm.
And that Baileys books used alone or without any REAL emphasis on Blavatskys
scriptures- can very easily be both dangerous and misleading spiritually
seen. I said CAN.
Especially a number of Bailey groups - today - supports the idea to avoid
dealing with Blavatskys scriptures and putting emphasis on them. Their line
of PR shows their fruits during the present political crisis. And their
teaching - TODAY - are certainly becoming dangerous and misleading.


Theosophy without any real and clearly outspoken respect for true Sufism is
empty spirituality - empty gupta-vidya - and even culturally biased
Raja-Yoga in our present informations society year 2003.
The political tensions between the west and the Middle East - and the TV and
other medias with their clearly - biased - propaganda are creating problems,
when one also supports Baileys books as a stand alone teaching - (or what to
some are their new pet Bible-collection. Even Mary Bailey rejected that view
in her book "A Learing Experience". May her friends at least follow that
view...

These are wellmeant remarks. >:-)
Feel free to comment or do your best...
