Part 1 and Part 2.


DID ALICE BAILEY SUFFER FROM MEMORY PROBLEMS?




-      Or Alice Bailey had a serious condition in her cognitive ability.
-      Or she did not pay attention to the texts that she copied from The Secret Doctrine and The Mahatma Letters, and only added them to her books to give herself more prestige.
-      Or it was another person (perhaps her husband or someone else) who did that job of looking for references on a topic, but without having previously read what Alice Bailey had written.


And I say this asseveration because there are many occasions where I discover that Alice Bailey states one thing, but she puts a footnote attached where Blavatsky or Master Kuthumi say the opposite.

And to demonstrate you, below I put several examples of this asseveration:



 

MASTER KUTHUMI
 
At the beginning of her autobiography, Alice Bailey wrote:
 
« In 1915 I discovered who [was the Master that visited me in 1895] and that other people knew Him. From then on the relationship has become closer and closer until today I can, at will, contact Him.
. . .
I found that this visitor was the Master K. H., the Master Koot Hoomi, a Master Who is very close to the Christ, Who is on the teaching line and Who is an outstanding exponent of the love-wisdom of which the Christ is the full expression.
. . .
Master K. H. is my Master, beloved and real. I have worked for Him ever since I was fifteen years old and I am now one of the senior disciples in His group, or (as it is called esoterically) in His Ashram. »
(Chapter 1)
 
 
But later in her autobiography, Alice Bailey wrote:
 
« It was during the year 1918 that I discovered for the first time who it was that had come to see me in Scotland when I was a girl of fifteen. I had been admitted into the Esoteric Section of the Theosophical Society and was attending their meetings. The first time that I went into the Shrine Room I saw the customary pictures of the Christ and the Masters of the Wisdom, as the Theosophists call Them.
 
To my surprise there, looking straight at me, was a picture of my visitor. There was no mistake. This was the man who had walked into my aunt's drawing room, and it was not the Master Jesus.
 
I was inexperienced then and rushed to one of the senior people at Krotona and asked for the name of this Master. They told me that it was the Master K. H. »
(Chapter 4)
 
 
So, Alice Bailey already knows that he was Master Kuthumi since 1915, or did she discover in 1918?
 
The answer is none.
 
And also her affirmation that she was a disciple of Master Kuthumi is false, because Alice Bailey told so many lies about Kuthumi that it discredits her having met him.
 
 
 
 
 
 

THE SACRED PLANETS

In note 87 of her book “Treatise on Cosmic Fire” Alice Bailey wrote:

« The seven sacred planets are: 

  1. Mercury.
  2. Mars.
  3. Venus.
  4. Jupiter.
  5. Saturn.
  6. The Sun (which replaces another planet).
  7. And the Moon (which replaces another planet).

Neptune and Uranus are not listed here nor is Vulcan. »

(This note is found in the first part, section E-5-4)


And this affirmation was surely taken by Alice Bailey from The Secret Doctrine where it is written that:

« The sacred planets are: Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, the Sun and the Moon. But the ancient astrologers knew very well that neither the Sun nor the Moon are planets and they only used them as substitutes for two sacred planets that science still does not know. » 
(SD I, p.575)


But later when Alice Bailey published her book “Esoteric Psychology”, she wrote:

« The seven sacred planets are: Vulcan, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. And the non-sacred planets are: the Earth, the Moon, the Sun, Mars and Pluto. » 

(This is found in volume I, part two, chapter III, section 2)


And here it makes you want to ask Alice Bailey:


Don't you remember that you had already listed the sacred planets in your previous book?

Because here you are telling falsehoods!







THE DEVACHAN

Devachan is a state of immense bliss that humans experience when they ascend to “Heaven” after dying, and Alice Bailey in her book “Treatise on Cosmic Fire” detailed about this state of intense bliss beginning by stating the following:

« Devachan is a state of consciousness that reflects the life of the personality, it is that elevated state that we call nirvanic consciousness [that is, in this state the consciousness is freed from illusion]. » 

(This is found in part two, section D-3-3-cb)


And to support her statement, Alice Bailey put as an attached note an excerpt from the letter that Master Kuthumi wrote to Mr. Sinnett where he explains what Devachan is.

But if Alice Bialey had cared to read this note, then she would have realized that there Master Kuthumi is saying the complete opposite of what she had just stated, because there Master Kuthumi wrote:

« No pain, no affliction, not even a shadow of sorrow darkens the luminous horizon of his absolute happiness to the person who is in Devachan, because Devachan is a state of perpetual illusion. And since the conscious perception of one's own personality on Earth is just a fading dream, this sensation that humans experience in Devachan will also be a dream, only a hundred times more intense. »
(ML 16, p.101)


In other words, Devachan is not a state where humans are freed from illusion as Alice Bailey claims, but on the contrary Devachan is a state of profound illusion!







HOW IS DEVACHAN EXPERIENCED?

About this Alice Bailey wrote:

« Each entity separated through self-realization participates in group realization, its happiness residing there, no longer feeling separation but only essential union and unity. » 


But it turns out that just the opposite is true because in the same note that Alice Bailey attached, Master Kuthumi explained that:

« Devachan is a state of intense egoism during which an ego reaps the reward of its altruism on Earth and is completely enraptured within the bliss of all its personal affections, preferences and thoughts that it had during its earthly life, thus collecting the fruit of their meritorious actions. »
(ML 16, p.101)

In other words, the devachanic state is a tremendously personal and selfish experience and not an experience of group union as Alice Bailey claims.


And the last straw is that Alice Bailey did not even realize that in the note she added (supposedly to support what she had written) Master Kuthumi is saying the opposite and thereby proving the falsehood of what she stated!







WHO IS GOING TO DEVACHAN?

Regarding this, Alice Bailey stated that:

« There is no Devachan for the savage or the unevolved man, since this state does not correspond to them nor do they yet have the mentality to understand it. » 


But once again Master Kuthumi says the opposite since in his letter he wrote:

« The happiness obtained by the savage while hunting in his devachanic dream is no less intense than the ecstasy felt by a great scholar who spends eons enveloped in the delight of listening to divine symphonies played by angelic choirs and imaginary orchestras.

Since it is not the savage's fault that he was born with an instinct to kill (although this has caused the death of many innocent animals), but if despite this that savage man was also a loving father and husband, then why couldn't he will he also enjoy his share of reward for his good deeds? »
(ML 16, p.103)


And this part of Master Kuthumi's letter, Alice Bailey did not add in her attached note, but this text was right next to what she did copy !!! 

Which shows that Alice Bailey didn't even read the letter, she just saw the word “Devachan” and then she thought it would be a good idea to put an excerpt from this letter in her book to impress her readers.








THE REENCARNATION

On this matter, in her book “Treatise on Cosmic Fire”, Alice Bailey wrote the following:

« Those who are on the path (whether of probation or initiation) as a rule do not go to Devachan [“Heaven”], but incarnate immediately. »
(p.592)


But in a later book titled “Treatise on White Magic,” Alice Bailey said otherwise:

« The one who is little evolved passes cyclically and with astonishing rapidity in and out of incarnation. But as he progresses, the periods outside of incarnation constantly lengthen, to the point where they are much longer. »
(p.371)


And in another later book called “Esoteric Psychology” volume I, Alice Bailey repeated the same thing:

« Souls that have not yet evolved incarnate quickly, while the more evolved souls require longer periods to reap the fruits of the experience. »
(p.220)


But in a later book titled “Esoteric Healing,” Alice Bailey returned to saying what she had initially stated (and which is certainly false) and even mocked those who claimed the opposite (herself being one of them):

« An example of this inaccurate and foolish attempt to shed light on the theory of rebirth can be seen in the time it takes for disembodied human souls to return to physical rebirth.

They say that the years of absence depend on the age of the departed soul and the place it occupies on the scale of evolution. They say that if the soul is very advanced, its absence from the physical plane is prolonged.

But I tell you that the opposite happens. And that advanced souls and those who are rapidly developing their intellectual capacity return very quickly due to their sensitive response to the attraction exerted by obligations, interests and responsibilities, already established on the physical plane. »
(p.298)


And here one wonders if Alice Bailey was really the one who wrote her books, because as you yourselves can see, depending on the book, she affirms one thing or the opposite.
  






THE FOURTH STATE OF MATTER

In note 79 of her book “Treatise on Cosmic Fire” Alice Bailey wrote:

« The elements are the progenitors of the senses: 

·        Hearing comes from the ether
·        Touch comes from the air
·        Sight comes from fire
·        The taste comes from the water
·        Smell comes from the earth
»

(This note is found in the first part, section E-5-4)


And this Alice Bailey copied from a table found in the Secret Doctrine II, p.107, but then when Bailey began to explain the different divisions of the physical plane, she put the following diagram:



And there one wonders:

And where is the fire element because in this diagram only the solid, liquid and gaseous states appear but the incandescent state does NOT appear?


And to try to remedy her omission, Alice Bailey put the following correspondences in the text on the side:

·        The first ethereal state is associated with primordial matter
·        The second ethereal state is associated with akasha
·        The third ethereal state is associated with the ether
·        The fourth ethereal state is associated with air
·        The gaseous state is associated with fire
·        The liquid state is associated with water
·        The dense state is associated with the earth

(The diagram and these correspondences are found in the first part, section C-4-2)


But what Alice Bailey wrote is full of falsehoods!


And if Alice Bailey had cared to study theosophy a little more deeply, she would have found the diagram that Blavatsky published in Instructions III for her students of the Esoteric School where she summarizes the seven states of matter:

STATE
OF THE MATTERY
ELEMENTS WITH WHICH IT IS ASSOCIATED
IN SANSKITO (TATTVAS)
An unknown
in the west
primordial matter
or supreme (aether)
goodbye
An unknown
in the west
self-existing “parentless” matter
anupadaka  or
aupapaduka
ethereal
ether
akasha  or alaya
incandescent
fire
taijasa  or tiles
gaseous
air
wow
liquid
water
apas
solid
land
prithivi


And there Alice Bailey would have realized that what she wrote is tremendously wrong because:

  • She did not put the incandescent state which is associated with the element of fire.
  • On the other hand, he associated the fire element with the gaseous state, which is false, since in the oldest traditions, the gaseous state has been associated with air and not with fire.
  • And there is only one ethereal state, while the other “ethers” were a lie invented by Leadbeater.
  • And Leadbeater also made a jumble of Sanskrit words, a jumble that Alice Bailey copied completely.








THE BODHISATVA

Alice Bailey put this definition of the Bodhisattva:

« Bodhisattva: literally means one whose consciousness has been transformed into intelligence or budhi. And they are the humans who only need one more incarnation to become perfect Buddhas. 

But Bodhisattva, as used here in my books, is the title of the office currently held by Lord Maitreya, known in the West as Christ, and this office can also be translated as World Teacher. The Bodhisattva is the Guide of all the religions of the world and the Instructor of the angels and masters. »

(This is found in the glossary of his first two books: "Letters on occult meditation" and "Human and solar initiation " )


The first part of her text was copied by Alice Bailey from Blavatsky who wrote the following about the Bodhisattva:

« Literally in Sanskrit it means “he whose essence (sattva) achieves spiritual wisdom (bodhi)”; and they are those humans who only need one more incarnation to become perfect Buddhas, and therefore have the right to Nirvana. »
(Theosophical Glossary)


And the second part of her text was copied by Alice Bailey to Leadbeater who wrote the following about the bodhisattva:

«  Lord Maitreya the Christ is the present Bodhisattva, the Teacher of the World and he has repeatedly been called the Teacher of angels and masters.  »
(The masters and the path)
 

But if Alice Bailey had paid more attention to what she copied, then she would have realized that Leadbeater's definition is totally incongruous, because a human, no matter how evolved he may be, cannot be the instructor of the angels due to that the angelic kingdom is a kingdom superior to the human kingdom.

To give you an analogy it would be as if Leadbeater said that an animal is going to take over the evolution of humans, which is completely absurd, and the same thing happens here.

And if Alice Bailey had cared to read what Blavatsky wrote about Maitreya then she would know that:

« In the occult teaching Maitreya is the name used to designate the last Messiah who will come at the culmination of this Great Cycle [which is the fourth round]. He will appear as Maitreya Buddha in the seventh Root-Race where he will restore justice on Earth and will be the last of the Avataras and Buddhas. »
(SD I, p.384 and 470)


In other words, there are still many centuries before Maitreya comes, and therefore Alice Bailey would have realized that Leadbeater was lying, and she would then not have made the mistake of repeating the same falsehoods that this lying man invented.
 





 
THE MAYA SANSKRIT WORD
 
Maya in Sanskrit means illusion, and this Alice Bailey specified in her first two books Human and Solar Initiation” and “Letters on Occult Meditation” (1922), since at the end of those books she wrote:
 
« Maya in Sanskrit means illusion, of the form or limitation aspect. Result of manifestation, and is generally applied in a relative sense to the phenomenal or objective appearances created by the mind. »
(Glossary)
 
 
But later in her fourth book, “Treatise on Cosmic Fire” (1925) she put an extract from a letter from the master Kuthumi where the master noted:
 
« The Devachan is a state of profound maya. »
 
 
And right in the text above she wrote:
 
« Devachan is this elevated state that we call nirvanic consciousness. »
(2-D-II-cb)
 
 
And that makes me want to say to Alice Bailey:
 
Don't you remember that in your first books you yourself specified that maya means illusion?
 
So how can Devachan be a nirvanic consciousness, if nirvana is precisely when you are free from illusion, and Master Kuthumi specified that Devachan is a state of profound illusion!
 
 
 
 




THE PRATYEKA BUDDHAS

In note 30 of her book “Treatise on Cosmic Fire,” Alice Bailey wrote:

« The Pratyeka Buddhas or “Buddhas of Activity”. This degree corresponds exclusively to the Yogacharya school and consists of a highly intellectual development without true spirituality... One of the three paths that lead to Nirvana and the lower path on which a yogi without an instructor and without saving others, for the mere sake of force of his will and technical observation, he acquires a nominal and individual Buddhist state. »

(This note is found in the first part, section B-3)


And this Alice Bailey took from the definition that Blavatsky gave about the Pratyeka Buddhas in her Theosophical Glossary, and which is supported by Eastern teachings, but Alice Bailey did not pay any attention to this definition because in her book “Treatise on Cosmic Fire” and in the rest of her work she spends her time talking about the Pratyeka Buddhas, assuring that they are:

« The collaborators and counselors of the Lord of the World (Sanat Kumara) and they are the full flowering of intelligence, having achieved in a previous solar system what man is now trying to perfect. » 
(Human and Solar Initiation, chapter 4)


And this is a false definition that Leadbeater invented, who, since he did not know what names to use for his fictitious hierarchy, he came up with the idea of ​​calling Pratyeka Buddhas the “assistants of the Lord of the World.”

And here one really wants to ask Leadbeater and Alice Bailey:

How are the Pratyeka Buddhas going to be “very advanced beings from a previous solar system,” if Blavatsky specified that they are current terrestrial humans who selfishly seek to achieve nirvana?









THE ROUNDS

At the beginning of her book “ Treatise on Cosmic Fire,” Alice Bailey wrote in note 20:

« It should be noted that seven rounds constitute a chain period. » 

(This note is found in the first part, section A-1-c)


And this Alice Bailey copied from Arthur Powell from his book “The Solar System,” but then halfway through his book “Treatise on Cosmic Fire”, Alice Bailey wrote:

« The Venusian scheme is, according to “The Secret Doctrine” (DS I, III, 44-47; IV, 158) in its fifth and final round. » 

(This is found in part two, section B-1-3-c)


But what Alice Bailey asserts is false because nowhere in The Secret Doctrine is it said that Venus is in her fifth round, instead what is said is that Venus is already in her last round, and if Alice Bailey had placed more attention to the references that she put in her book, she would know that the last round is the seventh and not the fifth, because in The Secret Doctrine it is specified that:

« The evolution of life advances in seven rounds because the entire metaphysical structure of the universe is septenary. » 
(SD I, p.158-159)


And later Alice Bailey realized what a big mistake she had made, but since she had already written many times that Venus was in the fifth round, instead of making the effort to correct her manuscript, she preferred to invent an excuse to get out quickly of that contradiction, and that is why at the end of her book she wrote:

« The initiatory educational process that aims to stimulate magnetic irradiation or transmute it, constitutes only an experiment. It was first tested on Venus, with success, resulting in the consummation of the planetary purpose in five rounds instead of seven. » 

(This is found in part two, section E-3-4)

But it turns out that what Alice Bailey claims is completely false for the reasons I explain in this other chapter (see link).







THE SKANDHAS AND THE PERMANENT ATOMS
 
And Alice Bailey also committed nonsense with other instructors, for example with Patanjali.
 
Since her first book, in 1922, Alice Bailey has been making hundreds of assertions about permanent atoms, which are atoms that Charles Leadbeater and Annie Besant claimed to have perceived through their clairvoyance and which presumably record all the characteristics that human beings develop and transmit them to their next reincarnation.
 
But in 1927 Alice Bailey published her sixth (or seventh) book entitled “The Light of the Soul” in which she sought to clarify the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and when transcribing the texts of the Hindu mystic, Alice Bailey put in the “Book IV” section: enlightenment, that the energetic structures that fulfill this function are the skandhas.
 
But apparently, Alice Bailey didn't even realize that by writing that, she was contradicting herself with everything she had previously stated. And subsequently she no longer mentioned the skandhas, while in her subsequent books she continued to speak profusely about permanent atoms, which to her misfortune turn out not to exist, because they were a lie invented by Leadbeater and Besant.

 
 


 
 
 
 
RELIGION AND POLITIC
 
In her book “The Externalization of the Hierarchy,” Alice Bailey complains that the Vatican wants to continue meddling in political affairs:
 
« It does not essentially matter whether that aggression is the gesture of any particular nation or group of nations or whether it is generated by the political groups of any powerful religious organization, such as the Church of Rome, who are as yet unable to leave politics alone and attend to the business for which all religions are responsible—leading human beings closer to the God of Love»
(p.549)
 
 
But instead in her book “The Reappearance of Christ” Alice Bailey declares that she wants to return to a theocratic government:
 
« The long divorce between religion and politics must end»
(Section 2)
 
So she is for or against the theocratism?
 
 
 
 
 
 



CONCLUSION

This big lack of rigor that Alice Bailey shows in her books leaves me with a very bad impression of her, because it tells me that Alice Bailey did not revise what she wrote, nor did she investigate seriously, but rather she only speculated and compiled different sources of information, but without the slightest analysis or introspection. And from this poorly done job, she made many books that she sold to her followers pretending that in these books it was a very advanced esoteric teaching transmitted by the Masters of Shambala.
