Morten:

You write:

"Maybe the Hierarchy really had decided that christ - 
in a certain sense- would come at Bailey's time of writing ?"

Maybe what you write is true, but then again....

I like your phrase "in a certain sense" but exactly what
do you have in mind when you use that phrase?

Morten, it is also possible that the Hierarchy had nothing to do
with it. That Bailey was a deluded person who thought she
was in contact with the Hierarchy, who sincerely believed
she was in contact with KH and DK but in reality was not 
in contact with them.

Remember what KH wrote to A.P. Sinnett:

"Vainly do your modern seers and their prophetesses, creep into every 
cleft and crevice without outlet or continuity they chance to see; 
and still more vainly, when once within do they lift up their voices 
and loudly cry: 'Eureka! We have gotten a revelation from the Lord!'
— for verily have they nothing of the kind. They have disturbed
but bats, less blind their intruders; who, feeling them flying about, 
mistake them as often for angels — as they too have wings! . . . "

Alice Bailey may have sincerely believed: "Eureka! I have gotten a 
revelation from DK!!" but was simply deluded by some elemental "bat."

Do the following words of KH describe Mrs. Bailey's
condition?

"Your vivid creative fancy [imagination] evokes illusive Gurus and 
chelas, and puts into their mouths words coined the instant before in 
the mint of your mind, unknown to yourself."

I am simply suggesting that seekers of truth should at least 
SERIOUSLY consider this possibility.

Morten, you also comment:

"But Daniel is it not also true, that NEW times and a new audience
requires new books of Wisdom - with no dead letter writing on whether 
Christ will arrive or not ?"

My answer: Maybe it's true but not necessarily.

But "new" or "newer" doesn't necessarily mean "better" or "truer".

Remember what H.P. Blavatsky wrote:

". . . But it will take centuries before much more is given from it 
[the Secret Archaic Doctrine]. . . . " The Secret Doctrine, 1888, Vol 
I, p. xxxviii (original edition)

And Master KH wrote Colonel Olcott:

"[The Secret Doctrine is] an epitome of occult truths that will make 
it a source of information and instruction for the earnest student 
for LONG YEARS TO COME. . . ." 

Yet it would appear that far too many students have only a 
superifical acquaintance with this "source of information and 
instruction" preferring instead so-called newer and more uptodate 
[??] "books of wisdom".
