That is the same for what Jezus stands and after 2000 years
we go to understand by dialogizing, the value of Jezus and Blavatsky.

If we take the solair way of the manas, as HPB mentioned, we started 
to develope our inner higher mind and see then that Jezus was the 
way, we have to go to the level of higher consciousnesses.
As HPB said the churches make their own story. 

(To keep the people stupid and poor.That is my meaning)

As Jezus said There is only ONE Unity and not all the seperations 
are made in the 2000 years through the religions.

The same message is comming from HPB.!

And for sure also before her time, there should have been messagers, 
but that knowledge has been detroyed.

Now, for the moment of this time, we must act and turn life into the 
HIGHER,solair Manasisch work.

Our Queen Beatrix is one of a kind of this actions and justice and in 
her natural way she promotes Theosophy.
She have a righteous character and convinced influence.
Not for nothing she is an Aquarian in the Zodiak.

Many people have comments, but that is always against persons who 
stand for their work, while the commentators do nothing then only 
disagree.
That you see everywhere, also Blavatsky have had comments on her 
exhausted and devotional work, also she was A real LION in Zodiak.
Greetings Christina
