"Stolen"? Hahaha, No one owns a thing here in this Universe, thats why the
seperated beings try to keep things for themselves...We all poor from the One
Intelligence, our minds and bodies are made by the Sun, Moon(hidden planet, 8th
dimesion/sphere) and the Earth and our Intuition descended from the Cosmic
Heart...We do not live, we are lived and therefore have to cooperate and share
what we find, if not ...suffering... Buddha understood this best, that is why KH
and others see Him as the most holy of holy...pity He couldn't explain it to the
people of today, since all that inherrited His Teachings is selling Bookists,
not Buddhists... You may now understand why a Digital Theosophical Society
should be formed, since the unworthy people will strand on pornsites while the
others may find their way toTheosophy...

I think the key came in an brief exchange in the Olcott Library many years ago.
An elderly lady was staying at Olcott for a short time, doing something
Theosophical, and she came into the library walked into the stacks and asked why
the writings of Alice Bailey were there, not because of any objection to what
they said, but because, as she said, they were all stolen from the Esoteric
Section teachings.
That alone would send them up the walls and over the battlements.

This was a very contemporary article to have been written a hundred years ago!
As for the "dethroning of popes" that still is the main thing needed IMO. But
now in addition to an authoritarian mindset on behalf of the current leadership,
the popes of 100 years ago are untouchable, beyond criticism, still enthroned
even though long dead.
I would think that Morten and I agree about the relative value of the writings
of Leadbeater and Bailey compared to those of HPB. I'd be equally disinclined
to spend time on either one, but if others in a group wanted to study them would
not object, just skip those classes. But the difference in the TS is that
nothing negative can ever said about the former, nothing positive about the
latter, without making The Powers That Be extremely uncomfortable. What is it
about Bailey in particular that creates such a paranoid atmosphere throughout
the TS?
