Theos-Talk Archives (September 2007 Message tt00013)

mkr,
I have studied all of AAB's books just like I've studied all of HPB's books. AAB's work does seem like a continuation of HPB's, as she references the Secret Doctrine frequently. However, the 'Lucis Trust' part has always bothered me because AAB's later books seemed to be too much enamored of the United Nations and the New World Order. I consider those organizations to be, while high-sounding, nevertheless mere fronts for global totalitarianism, or Socialism/Communism. That does not seem to me to be the goal of esotericism or Theosophy. So I have often wondered at the dichotomy, or have I missed something?

  Subject: Theos-World Alice Bailey/Lucis Trust


  Over a four decade ago, I received several mailouts from the Lucis Trust. It
  appears that the Trust is well endowded and seem not to have any problem
  with money. One wonders how bailey attracted affluent who could fund the
  work of the trust. I saw the following in the url listed:

  http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/the_collins_bloodline.htm

  "And it is possible that a few of the Rockefellers joined Lucis Trust which
  is an extension of Theosophy a well as members of the Hall family such as
  Manly P. Hall whose wife was a Bauer (very likely part of the Rothschild
  bloodline.)"

  Any one has any detailed info on the funding of the trust?
