"From my earlier perusal of AAB's writings, I found 
that many of her teachings were DRAWN DIRECTLY from 
Besant and Leadbeater's E.S. writings, which to this day, 
are not publicly available." Bold added.

In another posting dated Jan 6, 2003 and posted to
Theos-Talk, Jerry added details:

"The Maitreya teaching was originally tied to 
Krishnamurti, the supposed vehicle for the 
Maitreya/Christ return. Besant, in an ES talk in 
1909 or 10, presented the earliest (that I'm aware of) 
full description of what LATER BECAME CREDITED as 
the Bailey hierarchy—Maitreya and all."

"This was published in The Link (a London ES journal) 
and in the American EST Bulletin in 1910, I think, 
but no later than this. Also in January 1912, CWL and 
AB were called by the Maitreya to prepare Krishnamurti 
and Jinarajadasa for their second initiation. . . .
Much of the material in Masters and the Path comes from 
these early events. The account of this 1912 initiation 
begins on pg. 298 in my 2nd edition (1927). . . ."

"According to her Autobiography, (If my memory serves 
me correctly) Bailey's first contact with Theosophy 
was through the Pacific Grove Lodge around 1912. 
She moved to Krotona Hollywood a year or two
thereafter where she joined the ES, and GAINED
ACCESS to the [Besant/Leadbeater] material concerning 
the inner government and initiations, which was 
only circulated through the ES at that time. . . ."

". . . [Bailey's] Initiation Human and Solar was published 
in 1922—her first book—I think. I read it some years ago, 
and found it VERY FAITHFUL to the [Besant/Leadbeater]ES 
teachings as they were presented from 1910-1918." Bold added.
