My views are:
Yes. Well Alice A. Bailey claimed that she meet him on the inner level that is.
Yes. I find Alice A. Baileys Autobiography to very superficial and non-careful when dealing with Blavatsky's mistakes.

Right Bailey groups think they are new fashioned and are for the new
ages, while HPB was that before.I heared them many times saying.In
the group for oriental studies.(1980)
Than the summary I citated that was the written by the I and me, so
DK.
But how DK could ask A Bailey to write, while se have not met him
personally?
And why he should mentioned the many mistakes made by HPB, because he
was a chela from KH?
I don't think the I and me was DK

clearly the opposite - letters which HPB received facimiles of in
1886. (http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/invit-sd/invsd-4.htm -

There seems to be no willingness what so ever among Alice A. Bailey
followers to compare the teachings by H. P. Blavatsky with their own
favorite food the Alice A. Bailey books.
