Re: Theos-World Final Comments on what Ali writes about "Blavatsky versus Bailey on 'Christ' "

Right on Daniel. 

If and when that "Christ" spoken of by Bailey "appears in the flesh" and 
brings the so called "new dispensation" -- I wonder if the only one's who believe 
in him (and it) will be the British and American Christian Right that AAB 
wrote to (including those who call themselves, theosophists), and whether all the 
rest of the loyal HPB theosophists and other non-blind unbelievers, agnostics 
and atheists would become subject to extermination of some sort, or just 
"have to go, somehow," along with all the Hebrews who still insist on waiting for 
their Messiah, the Muslims for their Mahdi, and the Buddhists for their 
Maitreya? 

Isn't it a shame they missed the boat with Krishnamurti, and we have to wait 
so long to find out? Very discouraging. It's like sitting on Death Row 
waiting for the last appeal to run out. As a last resort for us heathens and 
heretics, I hope the one they pick this next time is as wise as he was. But, 
heaven's forbid, maybe they've already chosen that self proclaimed Maitreya guy 
hanging out with Ben Creme, and they're waiting for the right time to put him up 
as Director of the UN. 

Here's another thought Chuck might appreciate. Maybe, if they can't kill us 
all off, they could figure out a way to label us "terrorists" and transport us 
off to the Bush Family Colony on Mars. At worst, we could breath some Mars 
dust (which might be better than the pollution here from their fossil fuels) and 
not have to bite it. Couldn't be much worse than Mexico after the 
inquisition, huh, don't you think? 

Loney the heathen 
(Historical note: Formerly Apache Chief Geronimo's brother, Lone Eagle, who 
married a the daughter of a renegade priest married to a rabbi's ex wife and 
turned her into a pagan. Their Child was Crazy Eagle who flew the coop, joined 
the Lakota's and bought it at Wounded Knee [supposedly because he wouldn't buy 
the western religion the white man's government tried to sell him].)
