Or has Christianity merely been infiltrated, perverted.
What religion has been the cause of more human death and cultural destruction than Christianity?
Is humanity evil? Is this planet evil?
Evil has invaded every important cause for good in this world, and that includes not just Humanity, Christianity, and Theosophy.
But Theosophy and Christianity are structures of thought that hold enough energy to influence the emotions of masses of humans.
Truth is a pathless land, and nothing is black and white in this world.
Sitting here with my hands on the keyboard, it is not accurate to say I am violent. When I slap a mosquito or chase a housefly it is accurate to say that I am violent. It is accurate to say that I always have within me the capacity for violence. What's important is which influence holds forth and when, under what circumstances. Everything is relative.
This cute story comes out of India: A man wanted to kill another man, and threw a big rock at the other man's head. It knocked him off his feet. But it didn't kill him. Instead, it cured a twenty year headache.
Where is the good and evil in this story?
Howard Boom's book, "The Lucifer Principle," purports to show evil at the core of the human constitution. However the book only samples humans who have already been acculturated to an environment pervaded with evil. Evil is a part of the core of the human constitution. Evil is a part of the manifest universe. Evil is a part of God's creation. Is God's creation evil?
A better question might be, IS EVIL HOLDING SWAY in Humanity, Christianity, Theosophy, planet Earth. For many of us it is easy to answer YES to that question. If the answer is YES, are we well guided then to condemn, write-off, and abandon Humanity, etc? Are we well guided to work with the good that we find and not be swayed by sinister influences?
Regarding Theosophy, find the best sources of the history and develoment of that organization you can, then look for the trendlines that brought the ES, or Esoteric Section, into being. Through the ES Theosophy was destroyed. On her death bed HPB bemoaned the ES. She never wanted it. It was exclusive and elitist. As with Rajneesh, people around Blavatsky brought her work down.
I would really like to know this: Among the agents, who has actually carefully read Isis Unveiled or The Secret Doctrine? Who has carefully read any of the books by Alice Bailey? All of this material is very difficult to read. It was written in the best tradition of the encoded alchemical treatise. If you haven't read it carefully then you certainly have not detected the presence of a code and cannot comment on the hidden intent behind these works. And there is little you can say about the ostensible content.
Alice Bailey profusely acknowledged Blavatsky. Many people like to associate dark designs with Alice Bailey because she was a proponent of the League of Nations, and later of the UN, and because she promulgated the idea of a new World Religion. Actually there is much distortion in her ostensibly channeled writings. And her 19th century Victorian mindset shows through in the books she produced on her own. Her husband was a prominent Freemason. He used his last decades to emphasize that Freemasonry was due for extensive reforms.
It is important to the status-quo that Blavatsky have a tainted reputation because at face value her work primarily blasted all of orthodoxy for its fraudulence. If you have read the Secret Doctrind you are aware of this. Also, Blavatsky was a member of several secret orders prior to the exoteric phase of her work. And many members of those orders disagreed with what she did with the information they shared. Blavatsky was a cultural hero among the common people of India and she was the target of endless slander in the West.
Both Blavatsky and Bailey were very hard workers who endured hardships most westerners cannot imagine, and never talked about it. In that regard they have much in common with Raye!
Is Theosophy evil? Absolutely! Is Theosophy divine? Absolutely! What will you do with this information?
