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

reveals your immaturity and prejudices.
Why would you want to work with others you have so easily classified as âscared

an esoteric school since you already know AAB work is fraudulent and full of
lies?
Please lets be honest here!!!)

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.)

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

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

It seems that the main person behind it is Michael Robbins and his wife (when we

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?

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

My views are:
I do hope, that you do not mind me calling you all my friends?
Duane wrote:
"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

M. Sufilight says:
I will take such a challenge at any time, if is possible for me, provided I am
given some answers first to the below questions, and if those answers are proper
and truthful.
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?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
*** 3 ***
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]"

"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

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?
