Concerning Alice A. Bailey's Claims and Teachings

Dec 07, 2003 08:15 AM
by Daniel H. Caldwell


Alice A. Bailey's teaching are at variance in numerous
instances with the teachings of H.P. Blavatsky. 

AAB's teachings contain many of same concepts put
forth by CW Leadbeater and Annie Besant. [See end of
this posting.]

I was introduced to Theosophy thru books written
by AB and CWL. But after several years of study I
came to the conclusion that their teachings had
departed in many fundamental ways from those of HPB.
And I have a similar view of Bailey's teachings. 

For a critical look at the claims and teachings of
Alice A. Bailey, see the following essays:

and Teachings of Alice A. Bailey] by Nicholas Weeks

Since Bailey's teachings contain many of same concepts
put forth by CW Leadbeater and Annie Besant, the
following sources should also be consulted:

And all of the above material should be viewed from a
broader perspective. See:
