Blavatsky & the Masters 

"There are not in the West half a-dozen among the fervent hundreds 
who call themselves 'Occultists' who have even an approximately 
correct idea of the nature of the Science they seek to master. With a 
few exception, they are all on the highway to Sorcery." (H.P. 
Blavatsky in Occultism v. The Occult Arts.)

"No Adept ever marries." - H.P. Blavatsky.

"It is true that the married man cannot be an Adept." (The Master 
K.H. in The Mahatma Letters, p. 17.

"The Dugpas and the Gelugpas are not fighting in Tibet alone: see 
their vile work in England among the 'Occultists' and 'Seers'! Hear 
your acquaintance - preaching, like a true 'Hierophant of the left-
hand,' the marriage of the 'soul with the spirit' and getting the 
true definitions topsy-turvy, seek to prove that every practicing 
Hierophant must at least be spiritually married if for some reason he 
cannot do so physically, there being otherwise a great danger of 
Adulteration of God and Devil! I tell you the Shammars (Dugpas, Or 
Black Magicians) are there already, and their pernicious work is 
everywhere in our way." Ibid. p. 272 by Master M

Alice Bailey

"This might be interpreted by the superficial reader as an injunction 
to the celibate life, and the pledging of the applicant to abstain 
from all physical manifestation of the sex pulse. This is not so. 
Many initiates have attained their objective when duly and wisely 
participating in the marriage relation ...."The physical plane is as 
much a form of divine expression as any of the higher planes... that 
it may be advisable at certain stages for a man to perfect control 
along any particular line through a temporary abstention is not to be 
denied, but that . . . will be succeeded by stages when - the control 
having been gained - the man demonstrates perfectly through the 
medium of the physical body, the attributes of divinity, and every 
center will be normally and wisely used, and thus race purposes 
furthered."

"Initiates and Masters, in many cases, marry, and normally perform 
their duties as husbands. wives, and householders, but all is 
controlled and regulated by purpose and intention, and none is 
carried away by passion or desire. In the perfect man upon the 
physical plane, all the centers are under complete control. . . the 
spiritual will of the divine inner God is the main factor.... The 
true initiate would be known by his wise and sanctified normality.... 
by the example he sets to his environing associates of spiritual 
living and moral rectitude, coupled with the discipline of his own 
life...."

So might we characterize Alice Bailey's work ALSO as
"pernicious work"?

"...Contrast alone can enable us to appreciate things at
their right value; and unless a judge compares notes and
hears both sides he can hardly come to a correct decision."
H.P. Blavatsky. The Theosophist, July, 1881, p. 2
