Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt01386)

Hallo Peter Daley and all,

My views are:

I have been pro-Bailey in Denmark.
The below show some of the reasons why I changed my views on the Bailey 
teachings.

Try for instance to read the following - and if
you are interested let me or others know your views on it:

1.
"
a) The Bailey books are not a balanced multicultural presentation on
Theosophy.
b) The Bailey books leans heavily towards a Chrisitan outlook unto the
world. The consequences of this will show up in the present information
society.
c) The Middle East is hardly mentioned in the books, but the Christian
religion gets a whole lot of coverage.
d) The books were NOT intended for a Middle Eastern audience. Today
communication is rapid - due to the Internet. The audience is different
today.
e) Bailey groups are connected with work at The United Nations,
Headquarters.
f) Because of that they are politically involved, and that on an
international level.
h) This is today one of the problems the books of Bailey creates in TODAYS
international information society, where there are clearly visible political
tensions between the Western politicians and The Middle Eastern ones."

And also

An exceprt from that link is the following:
"Esoteric Psychology I; p. 167:

"...note chat this movement was started by a secret society which has [167]
existed in the world since the last period of seventh ray dominance in
Atlantean times.
Every great religion which arises is under the influence of one or other of
the rays, but it does not necessarily follow that each successive ray should
have a great far-reaching religion as its outcome. We have heard that
Brahmanism is the last great religion which arose under first ray influence;
we do not know what may have been the religion which was the outcome of the
last second ray period; but the Chaldean, the Egyptian and the Zoroastrian
religions may be taken as representing the third, the fourth, and the fifth
rays respectively. Christianity and probably Buddhism were the result of
sixth ray influence. Mohammedanism, which numbers so large a following, is
also under sixth ray influence, but it is not a great root religion, being a
hybrid offshoot of Christianity with the tinge of Judaism."

And George King?
I find the Aetherius Society website to be very unclear about what they are 
actually teaching.
Maybe you would care to tell me or others about the enhancement, that 
teaching
contains?
