Re: theos-talk My God is better then your God!

Fair comment - especially as it informs us that it is a disciple of the Masters, which DK clearly was. However the jury is still out on the idea of an avatar in our lifetime. I doubt it.

>This is a burning question for many Cass. However, contrary to whatever Blavatsky said elsewhere, she did say the following. Obviously she was referring to the next century from which she wrote or the twentieth century. She said "some disciple more informed, and far better fitted, may be sent by the Masters of Wisdom". AAB was sent by the Master KH and she dictated for Master DK. The prophesy was that that disciple or AAB, was according to Blavatsky more informed and far better fitted "to give final and irrefutable proofs that there exists a Science called Gupta-Vidya" A Treatise on Cosmic Fire was the second key to the wisdom of which HPB turned by her own account and admission the first key. AAb' treatise via DK was and expansion on the great entities of the cosmos and of cosmic fire or mind. It elaborated the three fires electric, soalr and frictional. Plus a whole lot more. The treaties on the seven rays were also part of the second psychological
 key which HPB predicted will come.
>
>Theosophical students would do well to consider HPB' own words of prophesy. Those that deny them deny her predicted second key turn for no more was turned by DK. What possible point would there be to do that, ignore HPB' own words I mean. I appreciate your open mindedness of course. Constant attack on AAB is unnecessary and Morton is an example of a Theosophical student with a refusal to accept HPB' prediction. The point is, that by HPB' own words she predicted a higher turn or dissemination of the Secret Doctrine bringing much hitherto unrealised or imagined wisdom and knowledge. JPC.

>"The same may be said of the whole Esoteric system. One turn of the key, and no more, was given in "Isis." Much more is explained in these volumes. In those days the writer hardly knew the language in which the work was written, and the disclosure of many things, freely spoken about now, was forbidden. In Century the Twentieth some disciple more informed, and far better fitted, may be sent by the Masters of Wisdom to give final and irrefutable proofs that there exists a Science called Gupta-Vidya; and that, like the once-mysterious sources of the Nile, the source of all religions and philosophies now known to the world has been for many ages forgotten and lost to men, but is at last found." SD1 xxxviii. HPB.

>> What is altruistic about going for Bailey's jugular?  HPB channelled Morya and Kuthumi, so we know that the process is acknowledged and confirmed by HPB.  Whether or not Bailey channelled DK is known only to herself.  The only evidence to the contrary is that Blavatsky said point blank that their would be no more contact from the Masters after her demise.  Now whether this includes pupils of the Masters is up for grabs.
>> 
>> Providing Bailey does not contradict the knowledge given by Morya and Kuthumi I have no problem with her assertions on how she received her information.  It will stand or fall as we evolve our own spiritual knowledge.

My study will focus on whether the Theosophical Society as it was given in 1875-1891 was political or sectarian - and - on whether the very widespread esoteric mother-organisation Lucis Trust behind the Alice A. Bailey followers are sectarian or non-sectarian, as well as political or non-political in their activities.

And this I think cannot be unimportant. Further it is also well-known that the word "political" have many definitions attached to it. I do hope however that my words in the below are sufficient to cover the aspects involved in the presentation I have forwarded.
