Theos-Talk Archives (March 2004 Message tt00361)

Was Alice Bailey "the New Torch-Bearer of Truth"?

See http://www.blavatskyarchives.com/latermessengers.htm#five

The three passages taken together indicate that HPB was referring 
to an emissary of the Masters coming in 1975 or later. These statements 
by HPB would seem to rule out the messenger being Alice Bailey.

HPB wrote in 1889: 

"Nothing is more dangerous to Esoteric Truth than the garbled 
and distorted versions disfigured to suit the prejudices and 
tastes of men in general." 

Unfortunately the teachings to be found in Alice Bailey's book
are "garbled and distorted versions" of what HPB original taught.
