That there are some very sound concepts in these two Books is to be sure but as with anything - Knowledge is Power but It's also what One does with that Knowledge/Power once They've attained It.

Hi Mercuriel,

I send You my Heart felt Thanks for supplying these two Books. It's Grately Appreciated...
Also, I totally agree with you; 'Knowledge IS Power' and 'With that Power comes Great Responsibility'

Also, New Age does not want to make people slaves. New Age is in fact much less usable to enslave the masses than Christianity, as evidenced by the middle ages.

Instead, we should assume, that the Elite want to corrupt New Age more than likely, or as they would probably say, adapt it, just as Pagan Rome adapted Christianity and turned it into what it is now - a human bashing, doublethink based religion.

Oh and by the way, the Bible has been explained with esotheric ideas since the beginning, and the old christians correctly assumed that such explanations reinforced christianity, and were witnesses for it's truthfulness.

And for Christ's sake, once more: NEW AGE IS NOT THEOSOPHY. Repeat 400 times on the blackboard until you really get it. I guess this is not for most of the people here on the forum, but boy, how many times I've heard that misconception.

Hi MichalPtacnik,

Thanks for your reply...

Interesting stuff and I must say that I agree with you for the most part especially the sections highlighted in blue.
And this is what I suspect the plagiarism and hijacking of another religion.
It happened with the religion of Christianity.
So, Why not the religion of the 'New Age'?


I must however, respectfully disagree with your last sentence...

The 'NEW AGE' Movement is all too comfortable in quoting 'Blavatsky', arguably the most famous of the 'THEOSOPHISTS'.
So at the very-very least, it has a real influence on the New Age Movement. A simple search on the net makes this clear.

Love and Light to All,

Namaste,
Trav.
