While this article is very insightful, I think the author misses a vital distinction:
Black magicians vs. White Magicians.
Alice Bailey was influenced by Blavatsky's teachings (whom the article discusses at length) and was involved in the Theosophical Society for a time. Blavatsky was one of the founders of the Theosophical Society in 1875 and is considered a key figure in the development of modern Theosophy. Her writings, including "The Secret Doctrine" and "Isis Unveiled," were foundational texts for the Theosophical movement.
Bailey, on the other hand, came into contact with Theosophy later in her life and was initially critical of some aspects of Blavatsky's teachings. However, Bailey's work later diverged from traditional Theosophy, and she founded her own spiritual movement, focusing on what she called the "Ageless Wisdom" teachings.
While Bailey's teachings share some similarities with Theosophy, particularly in their emphasis on esoteric knowledge and spiritual evolution, she developed her own distinct body of work and did not consider herself a successor to Blavatsky. Bailey's teachings have had a significant impact on the New Age movement and other spiritual traditions, but they represent a separate stream of thought from traditional Theosophy.
In Alice Bailey's teachings, the concept of white and black magicians is used to illustrate the spiritual polarity and ethical choices that individuals face on the path of awakening and spiritual evolution.
White magicians (White Hats), in Bailey's terminology, are those who use their spiritual knowledge and power for the benefit of humanity and the greater good. They seek to align themselves with the divine will and work towards the upliftment and enlightenment of themselves and others (these are the leaders of the Great Awakening/Truther Movement etc..)
On the other hand, black magicians (Black Hats) are depicted as individuals who misuse their spiritual knowledge and power for selfish or malevolent purposes. They may seek personal gain, control over others, or the manipulation of spiritual forces for destructive ends (these are the Globalists).
For Bailey, the awakening process involves recognizing and choosing to align oneself with the principles of light and goodness, thereby becoming a white magician in service to humanity and the divine plan. This entails cultivating virtues such as love, compassion, and selflessness while actively working to overcome egoic desires and tendencies.
By contrast, those who continue to indulge in selfishness and manipulation, seeking power and control over others, are seen as aligning themselves with the forces of darkness and becoming black magicians.
Yo know who has aligned themselves with the Theosophical Society and it's teachings?
General Michael Flynn
Flynn has been associated with the concept of the "Seven Rays," which is a Theosophical and esoteric belief system that posits seven metaphysical principles or energies that are said to influence all life and consciousness. The concept is rooted in the teachings of Theosophy, as expounded by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, and further developed by later Theosophists such as Alice Bailey.
In a tweet from July 2016, Flynn shared a photo of a book titled "The Seven Rays of Life" by Alice A. Bailey, with the caption, "Love this. Thank you for sharing. #ABookForThoseWhoSeek."
Flynn also quoted a Theosophical prayer in a tweet on July 4, 2020. The tweet included a photo of a family praying with the text of the prayer superimposed over the image. The prayer reads:
"Breath of the Divine, Creator God, Source of all that is:
Breathe into us the Holy Spirit, that our thoughts
may be holy. Move in our hearts, that we may love
only what is holy. Strengthen our bodies, that they
may also be the temple of the Holy Spirit.
Guide us in our work, that we may do it only for
the love of Thee, and in the service of Thy creation.
Amen."
This prayer reflects a Theosophical perspective with its emphasis on the divine presence within all things and the call for spiritual guidance and alignment with divine will.
Furthermore, General Flynn during a speech in a Christian church, where he let unaware Christians chant channeled material from Elizabeth Clare Prophet's 'Pearls of wisdom' which she claims to have received from "archangel Michael". New age & Occult. Doctrines of demons. False light. Listen here.
