Alice
Bailey's defenders claim that she sacrificed herself for the good of
humanity, but in reality it was quite the opposite, since before writing
her books Alice Bailey led a financially difficult life, as she herself
revealed in her Autobiography, since to survive she had to work in a
factory that sold sardines:
“My
days became endless. I got up at 4 in the morning, cleaned the house,
prepared lunch for my three girls, at 6 in the morning after washing and
dressing them I gave them breakfast. At 6:30 in the morning I took them
to my neighbor's house and went to the factory to package the sardines
all day long.” (Ch. 4)
When Alice Bailey met her second husband, Foster Bailey, in 1919, he also had no money, since she stated that:
“Foster didn't own anything at that time.” (Ch. 4)
But
after Alice Bailey began selling her books, she and her husband began
to lead a lavish life in England, traveling on vacation with their three
daughters to expensive regions of Europe, such as the Swiss city of
Ascona where he took to Alice Bailey the following photographs:
And about this place Alice Bailey commented:
“All
kinds of vices were practiced on Lake Maggiore, and a good number of
those who led that undesirable type of life went to the Italian lakes
during the summer. As soon as I realized that, I explained it to my
daughters, I told them plainly what it was about, including degeneration
and homosexuality, so that my girls could go uncontaminated.” (Ch. 6)
Later,
when World War II broke out, the Bailey family went to live in New
York, but they did not have to return to work as workers, but instead
continued to make a good living by selling their books.
And
so much so that although Alice Bailey died in 1949, her husband Foster
Bailey continued to publish many posthumous books during the following
years:
· Glamour: a world problem (1950)
·
Telepathy and the etheric vehicle (1950)
·
Esoteric astrology (1951)
·
Esoteric healing (1953)
·
Education in the new age (1954)
·
Discipleship in the new age II (1955)
·
The externalization of the hierarchy (1957)
· The rays and thinitiations (1960)
I
find it very difficult to believe that Alice Bailey had already
finished writing so many books before she died without having previously
published them, and I consider that it is more likely that her husband
Foster Bailey did not want to lose the good business he had even if his
wife was no longer with him.
CONCLUSION
As
you can see for yourself, the Baileys' lives have changed radically
since they began publishing their books, and if at least those books
contained a true esoteric teaching, they would still be worth reading.
But unfortunately those books are full of the falsehoods that the liar
Charles Leadbeater invented, plus many other falsehoods that the Baileys
came up with. So the Baileys not only got rich by lying to people, but
they also got rich by teaching them quackery.
