English-born Alice Bailey failed to gain control of the by-then dogmatized and arrogant Theosophical
Society. The above chart illustrates the incredible detail to which she took the theories of occultism. If you save the picture,
it is on a transparency, and easier to see. Alice was the wife of a high ranking Mason named Foster Bailey. She wrote numerous
books which she claimed were telepathically dictated to her by a Tibetan Master, Djwal Khul. This material is so dense and
ponderous that a human being cannot realistically wade through it all in a lifetime.
Her style invokes Christ as the bodhisattva of love, whereas Blavatskayan theosophy consistently
attacks the church as liars and changers of the story. Nevertheless, her monstrous writings such as _A Treatise on Cosmic
Fire contain such vivid and weird descriptions that one cannot help but assume one is telepathically receiving the mind of
a clairvoyant Tibetan hundreds of years old. He is noted for using the dead term "anent" to mean "about". Alice's organization,
Lucis Trust, survives to this day, and is very close to the United Nations. Anti-masons, the John Birch Society, and others,
therefor assume and attempt to prove that Lucis Trust and the New or One World Order are nothing other than slave machines
of the devil, and since they are already in control, we're standing in line to be swallowed up or kidnapped by aliens or whatever.
So these are very dangerous ideas. One thing you can be sure of, though: it does take power
to fight power. The impression I get of a meeting of the Trilateral Commission or the Bilderbergers or something like that,
is that there are a majority of old-money families primarily interested in preserving their own wealth and power. And then,
there are probably a few individuals who are there to go against the greed and "save the planet". They may not be able to
do much, so its slow, but they are the only ones who can make the attempt, during which process they become guilty by association.
The same thing always happens to me. Outsiders make their own conclusions, and you just have to live with the fact that you
are scorned and despised by the very people you are trying to help. Of course, some people like me, and I scorn and despise
plenty of others, but so what. A lot of Bailey's material makes perfect sense to me, and I can be pretty helpful at times,
but I'm definitely not a "pure" person at all.
This material again spawned all kinds of spinoffs and new age stuff; imitation is the sincerest
form of flattery. What is done creatively and honestly, is progress, but lots of the material given by so-called
masters and avatars is too cartoonish. People who are less pretentious than that are usually a lot more interesting. I
doubt I will ever finish reading her stuff, but it does take you to a new level of thought once you put some of the pieces
together.
