Dear friends and Zaitzev

My views are:

So when not selling Alice A. Bailey books, within TS, why sell C. W. Leadbeater books?

  Who personally in the T.S. emphasizes her?
  As for Zohar...
  "there must also be one truth which finds expression in all the
  various religions-except in the Jewish, as you do not find it
  expressed even in the Cabala". (Key to theosophy)
  As for Islam, there are too few muslims who would agree to listen the
  theosophical interpretation of Islam. Christians of the last century
  were more open-minded, so the christianized theosophy of Bailey did
  target them. It's not for those who are already theosophists.
