Re: Theos-World Final Comments on what Ali writes about "Blavatsky versus Bailey on 'Christ' "

Right on Daniel.
If and when that "Christ" spoken of by Bailey "appears in the flesh" and
brings the so called "new dispensation" -- I wonder if the only one's who believe
in him (and it) will be the British and American Christian Right that AAB
wrote to (including those who call themselves, theosophists), and whether all the
rest of the loyal HPB theosophists and other non-blind unbelievers, agnostics
and atheists would become subject to extermination of some sort, or just
"have to go, somehow," along with all the Hebrews who still insist on waiting for
their Messiah, the Muslims for their Mahdi, and the Buddhists for their
Maitreya?
Isn't it a shame they missed the boat with Krishnamurti, and we have to wait
so long to find out? Very discouraging. It's like sitting on Death Row
waiting for the last appeal to run out. As a last resort for us heathens and
heretics, I hope the one they pick this next time is as wise as he was. But,
heaven's forbid, maybe they've already chosen that self proclaimed Maitreya guy
hanging out with Ben Creme, and they're waiting for the right time to put him up
as Director of the UN.
Here's another thought Chuck might appreciate. Maybe, if they can't kill us
all off, they could figure out a way to label us "terrorists" and transport us
off to the Bush Family Colony on Mars. At worst, we could breath some Mars
dust (which might be better than the pollution here from their fossil fuels) and
not have to bite it. Couldn't be much worse than Mexico after the
inquisition, huh, don't you think?
Loney the heathen
(Historical note: Formerly Apache Chief Geronimo's brother, Lone Eagle, who
married a the daughter of a renegade priest married to a rabbi's ex wife and
turned her into a pagan. Their Child was Crazy Eagle who flew the coop, joined
the Lakota's and bought it at Wounded Knee [supposedly because he wouldn't buy
the western religion the white man's government tried to sell him].)
