Dear Cass
You should check it out for yourself and come to your own conclusion which I am 
sure you will do

I would be more than happy to hear what is being said. However, it would need 
to be via an online source.

I can only say this school offers training as a preparatory esoteric school and

Â
Why should any students come forward to name themselves? Have you made a formal 
inquiry to the school directly yourself demanding their names? The fact that you 
denigrate hardworking students who you have never met or conversed with and 
whose primary goal is on service as âscared chickensâ is ludicrous and only 
reveals your immaturity and Âprejudices.
Why would you want to work with others you have so easily classified as âscared 
chickensâ Are you not just trying to Âsupport your belief that this could not be 
an esoteric school since you Âalready know AAB work is fraudulent and full of 
lies?
Please lets be honest here!!!

>I am not prepared to be taught by invisible no-bodies. And I think very few

ÂYou are inferring these students are dishonest because they do not post there 
name for your benefit? If they did you would quickly claim they are all self 
promoters look how cheap and public they are. I regret you will always find 
flaws in other groups who are even vaguely affiliated with AAB because you have 
made up your mind way before now that they are up to very little good. You 
occasional pay lip service to a few of the AAB groups in some positive way but 
the bulk of your postings indicate she should not even be mentioned in the same 
breathe as HPB
If you had even a rudimentary knowledge of esoteric schools historically you 
would realize they do not go around proclaiming who they are but work quietly 
behind the scenes. Yet they are not attempting to be secretive in any way.Â

The Moray School charges no fees for their work and it is all volunteer. How can 
they claim to be a legitimate esoteric school? If they did that they would be 
chastised by people like you for making wild claims. If they donât make this 
claim by your logic they surely are not an esoteric school. You canât have it 
both ways!!!

Â
Here we go back to the prejudices and criticism of something you have never 
understood and so make wild claims. AAB asks each student to study the material 
and come to their own conclusions. No one is asked to believe anything they 
cannot prove in their own lives. If you would study the AAB material 
impersonally and from the mental plane you would see its contribution. You have 
obviously had some painful personal experiences and your prejudices are clearly 
seated in your emotional body. Â

Â
You are a very skilled artist at projecting onto others the very problems you 
cannot see within yourself. Instead of sitting on the sidelines of the esoteric 
criticism others you do not understand you need to get involved and contribute 
something creative.
This is the same old dogma and prejudices on your behalf repackaged over and 
over that you obviously just cannot see. You champion yourself as chief 
administrator to exspose Âall the limitations of all of the ÂAAB groups. You 
need to resign from that position.

ÂâBlavatsky Theosophist find AAB followers to lack self critical examinationâ 
I see you now speak for the whole rank and file of Theosophist. It must be so 
wonderful to so all know to be able to make such wild and unsupportive 
statements.

If AAB stole all, of the Eoteric section teachings which I am sure you believe 
she must have had something of value to say.
Â
This is a perfect case of what Voltaire called âignorance in actionâ. You will 
never join this group and find out the potential truth of the school but you can 
criticize what it should or should not do.

Dear Duane and friends

My views are:

1.
Duane wrote:
"You have already laid 
out all the reasons you will not research this group. Perfect way out. They do 
not conform to all of your preconceived ideas about what an esoteric school 
should be so I cannot join. "

M. Sufilight says:
--- "all the reasons" you say? This is not true. Try to read my e-mail again.
I openly asked some questions giving you the opportunity to make your case 
valid. And now you refuse to answer my very understandably important questions.

If you are saying that anyone aught to join just any school who claims to be 
Esoterical, just because it claims to be so, I find your view to be an unhealthy 
one. And now, you tell me why I am wrong in my view, if you think so?

So why should one join this particular Esoterical School and not another of the 
many AAB groups or non-theosophical ones? Why is this one so special?

2.
Duane wrote:
Do you not see the impossible impasse you or others may put this opportunity 
into?

M. Sufilight says:
No, I honestly do not.
You can answer the questions. If you do not answer them, we may all wonder why? 

I have for very many years not joined a group who was not able to - clearly - 
show me its Constitution and Rules! Or the Pledge which need to be taken, if 
any! - And I will discourage anyone from joining such a group, calling it self 
esoterical and in contact with the the Trans-Himalayan School, when it omits 
these things.
And now you aught to tell me whether I am wrong in my views? And if so, why?

The Morya Federation of Esoteric Schools (http://www.moryafederation.net/) 
claims the following:
"Sensing the pressing opportunity arising at this critical period in the history 
of humanity, a number of experienced students of the Trans-Himalayan Wisdom have 
combined forces, creating the Morya Federation to offer sincere and 
self-disciplining students of the Ageless Wisdom the opportunity to deepen their 
understanding of the Master DKâs voluminous writings and to relate them to the 
great works of other theosophically inspired authors such as Helena Blavatsky 
(HPB), author of The Secret Doctrine; Helena Roerich, amanuensis for the Agni 
Yoga Books inspired by Master Morya, and, other significant authors in the field 
of philosophical esotericism."

M. Sufilight says:
Now anyone can claim this. The question is whether ALL these students will come 
forward and name themselves and not hide behind the Internet as scared chickens?
I am not prepared to be taught by invisible no-bodies. And I think very few 
persons are! - I will have to know who those self-proclaimed students really 
are. Why not be honest about it?

It seems that the main person behind it is Michael Robbins and his wife (when we 
follow the bottom link to a Facebook website at the website 
http://www.moryafederation.net/.)

A QUESTION:
It is a bit new to me, that Michael Robbins claims to be in contact with the 
Himalayan Masters. Have any of you heard about this before?

The problem is as I see it the following:
The Morya Federation of Esoteric Schools (http://www.moryafederation.net/) 
invites people to become members of its group - without - clearly stating 
whether it want money for it, - without - clearly stating whether it is a 
genuine Esoteric School - where its leader(s) have a daily continous contact 
with a Master. And without clearly stating whether it is a non-political group. 
Becuase, - if this group does not forward such claims - it can only be called a 
spurious Esoteric School at best. Anyone can claim to be Esoteric, but the 
question anyone will have to ask is whether we have a GENUINE School here or 
something else. Are you now saying that it is irrelvant to ask such questions? 
And are you not in your reply to me at the same time saying: Do not think, just 
JOIN US?

Duane wrote:
"You are given an opportunity to grow spiritually and what you do is find all

M. Sufilight says:
Now, according to my book, one cannot as an honest and TRUE initiate advertize 
about meditation and service to humanity, especially when they forward the AAB 
books as something which should merely be BELIEVED (and not known or properly 
examined) to be healthy, while they completely ignore criticism - and almost 
automatically gives any critical view about the AAB books the big boot. Is this 
not the real truth? And is such a view a healthy one?

Leaders who continously avoid responding to honest and wellmeant criticism are 
not trustworthy. There are certain leaders who, will not listen to criticism, 
they have a bad blockage when it come to this issue. And I do now what we call 
those leaders. We call them: Narrowminded and Blocked leaders.

The difference I have experienced between Blavatsky theossophists and AAB 
followers is exactly this lack of self-critical examination about the AAB books 
and all other authors among AAB-folllowers - something Blavatsky theosophists 
find to be an unhealty attitude on their part.

- - - - - - -
An example is the following from the website:
"Summary of Courses Offered From Year 2 to Year 5

Descriptions of courses to be offered from Year 2 through Year 5 will be shared 
in detail with those who fill out an Application. Looking briefly at offerings 
beyond the first year, such courses, consistently advancing in depth and 
comprehensiveness, includeâ

* two years of Esoteric Psychology
* three years of Esoteric Healing
* three years of White Magic"

......etc. etc. and so on show me, that this School operates through the AAB 
books and NOT at all through an equal and open focus on the literature 
mentioned: I.e. Blavatsky (HPB), Helena Roerich, and, other significant authors 
in the field of philosophical esotericism. Not even Blavatsky's Esoteric Section 
operate in such a manner.


So, therefore I will not join this group.
But if they will provide me with their Constitution and Rules - or the Pledge 
which might need to be taken I might change my mind and heart.

These are just my views.
Other seekers might join this group and put their head under their arms.

- - -
Wisdom is a scare thing. It is most often not those who have the largest number 
of followers who are the most wise ones.

Dear Sufilight
You will take the challenge âIFâ your conditions are met. You have already laid 
out all the reasons you will not research this group. Perfect way out. They do 
not conform to all of your preconceived ideas about what an esoteric school 
should be so I cannot join. 

Do you not see the impossible impasse you or others may put this opportunity 
into?
HPB would be the first to admit advanced esoteric work is not done by simply 
studying theories and memorizing facts but by an immersion through meditation 
into our higher and more spiritual selves. Morya Federation although based on 
the works of AAB and HPB and demanding intellectual clarity is a school of 
meditation first and foremost.

You are given an opportunity to grow spiritually and what you do is find all the 

reasons it could not possibly be a legitimate esoteric school. Paradoxically you 

will never know will you?. It is said in the Pythagorean esoteric school of the 
past we would have to remain silent for at least a year or two when we first 
entered. Why is that? Perhaps because we might arrive at this school so full of 
ourselves and what we know we might be passing judgment, categorizing and 
telling everybody how thing should be when we should be humbling ourselves to 
learn.
That may be one of the reason few people join esoteric schools because all 
potential candidates have all kinds of preconceived ideas about what it is 
suppose to be. 

If you joined would you not have all of your questions answered??
Best Duane

M. Sufilight says:

If I, who is not a Seeker of beliefs but of Knowledge, should suspend my 
(appearntly) by you claimed "preconceived ideas or disbelief" I will first have 
to ask you some questions. I ask them with a kind heart, and I do hope that they 

are not being misunderstodd by any of the Alice A. Bailey followers.

Here they are...

*** 1 ***
I ASK all Alice A. Bailey followers:
- Why should one join a group, which do not clearly tell me why or whether it 
has deviated from the Original Programe of the Theosophical Society as it was 
given by H. P. Blavatsky, Morya and KH.? 

- Or tell me why why or whether it has deviated from the programe of the 
Esoteric Section as it was given by H. P. Blavatsky?

The Original Programe of The theosophical Society - a few excerpts:
"In order to leave no room for equivocation, the members of the T.S. have to be 
reminded of the origin of the Society in 1875. Sent to the U.S. of America in 
1873 for the purpose of organizing a group of workers on a psychic plane, two 
years later the writer received orders from her Master and Teacher to form the 
nucleus of a regular Society whose objects were broadly stated as follows:
1. Universal Brotherhood;
2. No distinction to be made by the member between races, creeds, or social 
positions, but every member had to be judged and dealt by on his personal 
merits;
3. To study the philosophies of the Eastâthose of India chiefly, presenting them 

gradually to the public in various works that would interpret exoteric religions 

in the light of esoteric teachings;
4. To oppose materialism and theological dogmatism in every possible way, by 
demonstrating the existence of occult forces unknown to science, in nature, and 
the presence of psychic and spiritual powers in man"......."But if the two 
Founders were not told what they had to do, they were distinctly instructed 
about what they should never do, what they had to avoid, and what the Society 
should never become. Church organizations, Christian and Spiritual sects were 
shown as the future contrasts to our Society."
(The Original Programe: BCW, Vol. VII, p. 145-173)
http://www.katinkahesselink.net/blavatsky/articles/v7/yxxxx_019.htm

"CONSTITUTION AND RULES OF THE THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY
The Theosophist - January 1891"
....
"ARTICLE XIII
Offences
1. Any Fellow who shall in any way attempt to involve the Society In political 
disputes shall be immediately expelled.

2. No Fellow, Officer, or Council of the Theosophical Society, or of any Section 

or Branch thereof, shall promulgate or maintain any doctrinas being that 
advanced, or advocated by the Society. "
http://www.global-theosophy.net/ts_constitution_rules.php

I ASK all Alice A. Bailey followers:
Now you tell me why we should not call all Alice A. Bailey groups and even your 
wellmeaning Morya group a Sect - using doctrinas - when they use "Bible-study" 
and political entanglements at the United Nations and an Messiah-craze?

Blavatsky was send to USA by Master KH and Morya's own chiefs (and not only by 
themselves) to form a group, which among its aims was to be a - contrast - to 
the Christian Churches. And not a group promoting "invocative" prayers to make a 

very physical external MALE Messiah-craze - excitingly awaited - walk about in 
the physical.

Referring to Madame Blavatsky, Master K.H. wrote: 
"After nearly a century of fruitless search, our Chiefs had to avail themselves 
of the only opportunity to send out a European body upon European soil to serve 
as a connecting link between that country and our own." 

( The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett, Letter No. 26, Master K.H.'s 
Confidential Memo about Old Lady [HPB]. Received Simla, Autumn, 1881. ) 

*** 2 ***
I ASK all Alice A. Bailey followers:
Why should one join a group, which do not clearly tell me why or whether it has 
deviated from the Original Programe of the Esoteric Section as it was given by 
H. P. Blavatsky?

H. P. Blavatsky's Esoteric Section has today been turned into a sham by many 
Alice A. Bailey groups who claim to follow her footsteps. 

Many of them claim to be following these Blavatsky footsteps while they - very 
very carefully - avoid forwarding the view that THEY have real contact with a 
Master. They demand huges sums of money being spend on membership fee's at their 

Esoteric Groups - this DESPITE - that H. P. Blavatsky's Esoteric Section never 
required any money being paid to her.

Other groups even claim that THEY have a continous contact with a real Master, 
while they also demand huges sums of money being spend on membership fee's at 
their Esoteric Groups - this DESPITE - that H. P. Blavatsky's Esoteric Section 
never required any money being paid to her.

Why should we join such a openly proclaimed Esoteric Section, who gives 
membership to almost anyone?
What kind of esoteric agenda - so-called by itself - is it good for?

I ASK all Alice A. Bailey followers:
Why should we trust a man (the so-called D.K. or else Alice A. Bailey) who take 
most of the credit for dictating the Secret Doctrine to H. P. Blavatsky, when we 

find many letters opposing this view by Master KH, Master Morya, H. P. 
Blavatsky, Constance Watchmeister, HÃbbe Schleiden and perhaps others?

Alice A. Bailey's guide named D.K. forwards his claims several times in the AAB 
books. Here are the books and pages where Alice A. Bailey's guide named D.K (or 
AAB her self) claims that he was behind the Secret Doctrine:
- Alice A. Bailey - "Initiation - Human and Solar", p. 58
- Alice A. Bailey - "The Rays and Initiations", page 255
- Alice A. Bailey - "The Externalisation of the Hierarchy", page 685
- Alice A. Bailey - "Esoteric Healing", p. 521, 536(?), og 565

And not a single word of credit to Morya and KH about their involvement with the 

book!
We can only wonder what agenda motivates such a promotion and why we aught to 
take such an author seriously at all?

HPB wrote: "For the true, the genuine âMasters,â whose real names have, 
fortunately, never been given out, cannot be created and killed at the beck and 
call of the sweet will of any âopportunist,â whether inside or outside of the 
T.S." (BCW, Vol. XI, p. 294 - year 1889) 

Some words documenting that it was Blavatsky, Morya and KH who was behind the 
Secret Doctrine:
A. 
The below link and its mahatma letters show me and others that it was not Alice 
A. Bailey's guide named D. K. who as claimed wrote large parts of the Secret 
Doctrine. It was Master KH and Morya. Blavatsky even write more than one time 
about it to Olcott, why should she be lying about this? And why should the 
Masters be lying about it? And why should Constance Watchmeister be telling an 
untruth about Blavatsky's words about her readings of the Akasha and that her 
Master was guiding her?

"Another witness to such a phenomenon (during H.P.B's stay in WÃrzburg) was Dr 
HÃbbe-Schleiden who writes, I saw a good deal of the well-known blue K.H. 
handwriting as corrections and annotations on her manuscript as well as in books 

that lay occasionally on her desk. And I noticed this principally in the morning 

before she had commenced to work. I slept on the couch in her study after she 
had withdrawn for the night and the couch stood only a few feet from her desk. I 

remember well my astonishment one morning when I got up to find a great many 
pages of foolscap covered with that blue pencil handwriting lying on her own 
manuscript, at her place on her desk. How these pages got there I do not know, 
but I did not see them before I went to sleep, and no person had been bodily in 
the room during the night, for I am a light sleeper. [Reminiscences, 112/3]"

Here we have Blavatsky 's words about D.K.'s lack of grammar:
"Letter LIV
[Sent from Wurzburg. 1885 (?1886)

I have a number of diagrams with reference to the evolution of the septenary 
globes and Cosmogony of Esoteric Buddhism, made by Djual Khool and Sarma for me 
to explain to you, and Hume during the first year of the Simla teaching; and 
several of them I had copied by a Parsee, a good draughtsman of the School of 
Arts at Bombay, who could not do them well -- and then, I copied them from D. 
Kh.'s with Tibetan signs and names, translating them and doing it the best I 
could -- since I did not want to give the originals out to a stranger and you 
could not have understood them -- and gave them to Olcott to be copied and one 
of them -- the one I sent to Hume I believe -- was copied by Coulomb who is a 
very good draughtsman -- too good unfortunately [cf. Letter XLVI, page 304 of 
this volume. -- EDS.] I remember how well he copied the few lines in English, a 
remark by D. K. on the cosmogony -- in a way that I was astonished: it was a 
perfect copy of D. K.'s writing, grammatical mistakes, and all. Neither Olcott, 
nor I, nor Damodar, ever made a secret of such copies. . . . [This letter was 
unsigned, but it is in H. P. B.'s handwriting. -- EDS.]"

Some comments:
I know that my questions in the above might sound harsh. But they are wellmeant.
And I really do care about those, who are Seekers after Truth. That is a most 
noble thing. But, I like them to avoid telling me, that I MUST absolutely follow 

their Primary "AAB Bible-study" with political entanglements - instead of an 
open inquiring into religious-philosophies of all kinds. - And - if they clam to 

invite me into what they call an Esoteric Section, they aught to at least pledge 

people (and show what that pledge is all about) and show, that they as teachers 
know their way around in life - like H. P. Blavatsky did. And openly beforehand 
without demanding any fee's what so ever!

Show us this Morya groups Constitution (http://www.moryafederation.net/). If it 
is not online its website, we can only ask ourselves why? And if it promotes the 

AAB Messiah-craze and political entanglements, we also ask ourselves why, 
because this is the same as promoting a dogma and cutting the political flowers 
from the surface of the soil instead of tearing them out by the roots. And as a 
theosophist I will not agree upon this.

- - -
Blavatsky wrote about why the TS carefully avoided Politics:
"ENQUIRER. Do you take any part in politics? 

THEOSOPHIST. As a Society, we carefully avoid them, for the reasons given below. 

To seek to achieve political reforms before we have effected a reform in human 
nature, is like putting new wine into old bottles. Make men feel and recognise 
in their innermost hearts what is their real, true duty to all men, and every 
old abuse of power, every iniquitous law in the national policy, based on human, 

social or political selfishness, will disappear of itself. Foolish is the 
gardener who seeks to weed his flower-bed of poisonous plants by cutting them 
off from the surface of the soil, instead of tearing them out by the roots. No 
lasting political reform can be ever achieved with the same selfish men at the 
head of affairs as of old. " (The Key to Theosophy, p. 231)
http://www.phx-ult-lodge.org/aKEY.htm

And I guess the Master looked at TS Adyar (and its Besant politics) and the AAB 
groups (United Nations entanglements) ...and...expressed a friendly sigh....

Any comments?
(No comments is also an answer.)

Hi Martin
Thank you for sharing your views.
What AAB did by her own admission was to include Esoteric Christianity into 
Hindu and Buddhist esoteric traditions. If Theosophy is the esoteric core of ALL 


religions why would she not want to include Christianity. Theosophist need to 
stop comparing Annie Besant and Charles Leadbeaters superficial analyses of 
Christianity and read what AAB has to say. If you are saying here martin that 
AAB failed to bring new insights into an old dogmatic Christianity that may not 
be correct.
Alice bailey teachings are growing exponentially in leaps and bounds as many of 
the earlier contributors to Theosophy are declining. HPB will always be one of 
the greatest contributors to esoteric wisdom in my experience but not 
necessarily the only one.
We sometimes confuse the heart of Theosophy which is inquiry into the spiritual 
with loving or hating the messengers. 

This is why Some Theosophists despise AAB because they see her as a threat to 
their established dogmas and cherished beliefs. The paradox that no one has yet 
explained to me successfully is why do so many AAB students love HPB and study 
her alongside AAB. But those who have studied only HPB make premature judgments 
and condemnation of AAB without an honest study of her material.?
I challenge any readers here to suspend their preconceived ideas or disbelief 
and join the Moray Federation of Esoteric Schools for just 6 months or a year 
before they start passing out judgments about teachings they either do not 
understand or cannot comprehend. This school teahces both AAB and HPB.
Best Duane

"What is it about Bailey in particular that creates such a paranoid atmosphere 
throughout the TS?"
Lol, it is all about tactics...Bailey and those behind her wanted to synthesize 
Christianity into Theosophy which is not possible...
At the same time they wanted to bring the Old Wisdom more apprehensible for all 
people in which they also failed...
We have now entered a time where all religion will destroy itself from within to 


find they were all derived from the One Religion...check my site

...sorry you will need Google to translate some of the text there...

Subject: theos-talk Re: Aurobindo's madman?

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?
