Steve Stubbs quotes from Alice Bailey's
"Unfinished Autobiography". I excerpt a small
section from his quote below:

"All the Theosophy that I knew had been taught me 
by personal friends and pupils of H.P.B. . . . I 
have more than a happy feeling that the personal 
pupils and friends of H. P. Blavatsky approved of 
what I was setting out to do. I had their endorsement 
and their help until they passed over to the other 
side. They were, naturally, all old people when 
I first met them. The attitude of the current 
Theosophical leaders and membership has always 
amused me. They have never approved of what I 
taught and yet what I taught came direct from p
ersonally trained pupils of H.P.B. and is more
likely to be correct than that which has come 
from those who have not known her. I mention 
this because for the sake of the work I would
like to have its sources recognised."

Notice Mrs. Bailey's sentence:

". . . what I taught came direct from personally 
trained pupils of H.P.B. and is more likely to 
be correct than that which has come from those 
who have not known her."

I find this a somewhat silly statement.

The best way to compare what Bailey taught with
Blavatsky's teachings is to compare Bailey's
writings with H.P.B.'s writing.

Who cares if Bailey's teaching "came direct from
personally trained pupils of H.P.B."

Alice Cleather was ALSO a personally trained pupil
of H.P.B. See what she writes at:

In this work Alice Bailey compares some of Bailey's
teachings to those of Blavatsky. Notice the title of
Cleather's work:

The Pseudo-Occultism of Mrs. A. Bailey
