Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt01883)

Welcome, 

If you read the following you may get some idea of why many theosophists who 
have studied HPB in depth ignore the teachings of Alice Bailey along with some 
writers that preceded her (e.g., C. W. Leadbeater, Crowley, etc.) and 
followed her (e.g., G. King, C. Prophet, etc.)... Although there is some value to be 
gained by reading and comparing their metaphysics with that of theosophy (as 
given out by HPB and her Masters) and those that came before them (e.g., 
Hermes, Plato, Pythagorus, Plotinus, etc.).
