Theos-World Re: Several Comments on Alice Bailey

Once again.  Please note.  The Jews symbolize all of humanity.  We all are
the Jews.  We all are wandering in the desert.  One is best not to take
symbol and metaphor literally.

Dear Eugene ------

Where does Mrs Bailey write that her words about the Jews are symbolic & metaphoric?

Her words are concrete & literal.

"Today the law of racial karma is working and the Jews are paying the price factually and symbolically ... "

"They [the Jews] have never faced candidly and honestly as a race the problem of WHY [sic] the many nations, from the time of the Egyptians, have neither liked nor wanted them... Yet there must be some reason, inherent in the people themselves, when the reaction is so general and universal."

"The Jewish problem will be solved by the willingness of the Jew to conform to the civilization, the cultural background and the standards of living of the nation to which -- by the fact of birth and education -- he is related and should assimilate."

"The evil karma of the Jew today [written in 1949] is intended to end his isolation, to bring him to the point of relinquishing material goals, of renouncing a nationality that has a tendency to be somewhat parasitic within the boundaries of other nations, and to express inclusive love instead of separative unhappiness..."

Is Mrs Bailey writing about "all of humanity"? Gene, it doesn't make sense. Don't be an ostrich.

David
