Hi Perry,

Perhaps Jerry H-E can explain further, but I recall years ago that 
he explained the otherwise inexplicable hostility towards Bailey in 
the Adyar TS. Inexplicable, that is, because she seems to rile the 
powers that be more than Steiner, the Prophets, Purucker, etc. etc. 
whereas her teachings are actually more in line with Adyar/ES/CWL 
orthodoxy than all those other claimants to Mahatmic inspiration.

That similarity is actually at the root of the hostility, because 
Bailey was an ES member and after leaving the TS incorporated secret 
Leadbeaterian doctrines into her writings. Thus she was regarded as 
a traitor to the ES and the Masters. Sounds very plausible, and 
since ES members are not going to tell us who's on their s--tlist 
and in what order, guesswork is all we have left.
