Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt01942)

Hallo Cass and all,

My views are:

We should not forget this from the website:

" Baird T. Spalding was kind and simple man who lived a simple life. He was 
always moving and could travel 1000 miles to do a favour for a friend. He 
spent most time of his life as an research mining engineering. His work 
seems to have made him rich, becuse he was always willing to give away money 
if somebody needed. One thing Mr. Spalding didn't need much for himself 
was - sleep, only three-four hours each night.

Early, Douglas DeVorss (the founder of DeVorss & Company, Publisher P.O. Box 
550 Marina del Rey, CA 90294) and Baird T. Spalding agreed that Mr. Spalding 
never was to be introduced as an Master, but only as an author, but never 
the less Mr. Spalding made some extraordinary doings.

One very remarkable thing happened in New York (USA) when he was visting a 
friend. Spalding was to lecturing in Montreal (Canada) the same afternoon. 
At 5.00 his friend asked him if it was not time for him to leave. -"No, Its 
not until 7:30, and I have plenty of time." It was not until 6.00 he said 
goodbye and left. His friend was very nervous, because she new that he 
hardly have time to get ready and go to the airport, much less Montreal! She 
waited until just before the time for his leacture and then phoned 
Montreal. - "Please tell me." she said "has Baird Spalding arrived yet? The 
woman who answered said, "Why, he's walking up on the platform right now."

Baird T. Spalding's teaching was a mixture of taoism, early hinduism, 
buddhism and christianity.
He believed that the teaching of life was very simply and therefore, he was 
an opponent to Mysticism and Theosophy and those Christian Sects who denied 
that man was Divine. He said that the people he knew in Eastern said, it was 
a heresy to accept man less than Divine.
"The person seeing perfection is the Master." - Baird T. Spalding "

Maybe Spadling was an opponent towards the kind of Theosophy,
which craves for emotionalism. There some branches, that do so.
