Dear Jeremy and friends
My views are:
I will gladly answer you, so to clairfy an unfortunate misunderstanding.
What you say might be very well and true, although I find that Alice A. Bailey's books clearly promotes another view!
See AAB's book "Problems of Humanity", p. 177 on support for the United Nations.
But, I think you misunderstand a part of the post I gave.
I was thinking more in the lines of why most of the members come from Western countries. Could it have something to do with the Lucis Trust website and the westernized vocabulary in the Alice A. Bailey books which it so emphatically emphasises compared with all other books - except Foster Bailey's "Scottish" Freemasonry book - with his spurious 32 degree teachings, which are not esoteric at all in nature.
I have my doubts about that Lucis Trust ever will have a large following in the Middle East, when the keep running an atavistic Savior program.
See the following.......
THE ATAVISTIC SAVIOR PROGRAM by LUCIS TRUST
People are always looking for an Avatar or a Saviour; that does not mean that
this is the time for an Avatar or a Christ Saviour. The problems that an Avatar or a Saviour would be
able to resolve have not been identified. Nor does the clamor mean
that those who cry out are suitable followers. Most of the people who
demand an Avatar or a Christ Saviour seem to have some baby's idea of what an Avatar or a Saviour
should do. The idea that an Avatar or a Christ Saviour will walk in and we will all
recognize him, her or it (named a "hime" by AAB followers and not "it") and follow this being and everybody will be happy strikes me
as a strangely immature atavism. Most of these people, I believe,
want not an Avatar or a Christ Saviour but excitement. I doubt that those who cry the
loudest would obey an Avatar or a Christ Saviour if there was one. Talk is cheap, and a
lot of the talk comes from millions of beginner seekers after truth and wisdom.
(Maybe the leaders at various esoteric groups would be kind to consider the above words. Okay?)

All the above are of course just my views. I do not claim myself infallible as a "pope" or similar
I do hope that at least some of it will be useful for something altruistic and good.

M. Sufilight says:
As for not being accepted with regard to political leanings. I wonder whether most members are from Middle Eastern countries? No? But, India then? No? And you do never wonder why?
I assure the group that this would not be the case. Politics or religion do not enter into acceptance or non acceptance. JPC.
