I
have stated the assertion I put above as a title on several occasions,
and curiously the first time I did so on my blog, a follower of
Alice Bailey repudiated my statement with the following response:
« The article is totally wrong in its analysis, so it is an intellectual waste.
Alice
Bailey herself tells in her autobiography perfectly how Leadbeater
was the result of mirage and egocentrism in his books, and she is totally
far from him. Furthermore, you only have to read each other's work to
verify that they are light years apart.
This is what happens when someone begins to give their opinion on a serious topic without reading the authors properly. »
I
transcribe this response because this is the
argument that Alice Bailey's defenders usually give to reject my
statement (generally with less arrogance and contempt, but broadly
speaking they say the same thing). But when one truly studies the different teachings, people realize that this argument is invalid.
And
since I know that many of you do not have the time to carry out this
study, to save you the research process, I took on the task of opening
this blog where I detail all the lies and errors that Alice
Bailey wrote.
And if you take the time to read it, you yourselves will be able to verify that Alice Bailey indeed copied all the Charles Leadbeater lies:
- All the falsehoods that he invented about the Shambala Masters.
- The false structure that Leadbeater invented of the planetary hierarchy and the solar hierarchy.
- The erroneous structures that Leadbeater made of the seven principles of man.
- The incorrect structures that Leadbeater made on the different planes of existence of the universe.
- The erroneous process that Leadbeater gave about evolution and involution.
- The falsehoods that Leadbeater invented about chains, rounds and planetary schemes.
- The incorrect definitions that Leadbeater wrote of many Sanskrit words .
- The incorrect definitions that Leadbeater attributed to lightning.
- The false list that Leadbeater made of the sacred planets.
- The erroneous notion of the permanent atom that Leadbeater invented.
- The misconceptions about what happens after dying that Leadbeater took from spiritualism.
- The incorrect notion of a personal anthropomorphic god that Leadbeater took from religion.
- The false belief that the new Messiah would soon come that Leadbeater invented to legitimize Krishnamurti.
- And Alice Bailey also copied Leadbeater's exacerbated veneration of the Catholic Church.
- And Alice Bailey also copied Leadbeater's subtle condescension towards Blavatsky.
- And Alice Bailey also copied Leadbeater's veiled repudiation of Eastern teachings.
(And I still have more topics to address)
So
when I tell you that Alice Bailey copied all the falsehoods that
Leadbeater invented, it is because I have studied the matter
and I can prove it to you!
And
it is true that in her autobiography Alice Bailey expressed herself
badly about Leadbeater, since in chapter IV she wrote the following:
« A strong phase of psychism was
sweeping through the Theosophical Society due to the psychic pronouncements of Mr.
Leadbeater and his extraordinary control over Mrs. Besant.
The aftermath of the
Leadbeater scandal was still causing much talk. Mrs. Besant's pronouncements
about Krishnamurti were splitting the society wide open.
Orders were going out from Adyar,
based upon what were claimed to be orders to the Outer Head by one of the
Masters, that every member of the Theosophical Society had to throw his
interests into one or all of the three modes of work:
- the Co-Masonic Order,
- the Order of Service and
- an educational movement.
If you did not do so you were
regarded as being disloyal, inattentive to the requests of the Masters and a
bad Theosophist.
Books were being published at Adyar
by Mr. Leadbeater that were psychic in their implications and impossible of
verification, carrying a strong note of astralism.
One of his major works, Man:
Whence, How and Whither, was a book that proved to me the basic untrustworthiness
of what he wrote. It is a book that outlines the future and the work of the
Hierarchy of the future, and the curious and arresting thing to me was that the
majority of the people slated to hold high office in the Hierarchy and in the
future coming civilisation were all Mr. Leadbeater's personal friends.
I knew some of these people—worthy,
kind, and mediocre, none of them intellectual giants and most of them
completely unimportant.
On the other hand, I
had travelled so widely and had met so many people whom I knew to be more
effective in world service, more intelligent in serving the Christ, and more
truly exponents of brotherhood that my eyes were opened to the futility and
uselessness of this kind of literature. »
(pp.170-171)
As you can see, in her autobiography Alice Bailey is quite severe towards
Leadbeater. But her other books show that her repudiation of Leadbeater
was only in appearance because all her work is copied from the
pseudo-theosophy that Leadbeater and Besant elaborated and not from what
the original Theosophy teaches.
And
most likely this is because Alice Bailey did not want to be associated
with a man who had a very bad reputation for being a pedophile, but she
also believed what Mrs. Besant (who at that time was the president of
the Theosophical Society Adyar) proclaimed to everyone:
-
“that Leadbeater was a great clairvoyant and a disciple of the master Kuthumi.”
But
the facts show that this statement is false. However, Alice Bailey, not
having seriously studied the original Theosophy, became overconfident,
incorporating into her work the errors that Leadbeater invented, and
ignoring that with this act she was also demonstrating her own imposture.
