Shamballa Behind Fascism?
Dear Theosophists,
The passages below should leave
us in no doubt as to which side Our Sister in Light, Alice Ann Bailey and the Master Djwhal Khul stood for in the War against
the forces of Darkness. Indeed Mrs Bailey described Hitler as a "Human Monster". They as we, Stand for the Great
White Brotherhood.
There is a wave of attack against Alice Bailey and
the Lucis Trust. Clear written evidence was presented that showed the views of AAB against Nazism. This in truth has no relation
to theosophy in its purity. It is more than clear to me that the teachings of AAB/DK have been rejected by other branches
of the masters teachings as given out by the great white brotherhood. In my limited experience true esotericists who
accept the sequential work of AAB do not slander or rebuke the stupendous teachings of our beloved Helena Blavatsky, Helena
Roerich or Francis La Due. To encompass the breadth of the work of the GWB myself and many others I know need to assimilate
these teachings in their entirety as best we can.
As said, this does not raise any hostilities that render
expression through slander of others or the general running down of fellow seekers. Previously AAB was slandered, and in so
doing the slandering of a Master of the Wisdom was achieved!
Motive may be well intentioned but you have miss identified
your enemy. Alice Bailey stands for right human relations and world goodwill and it is this which the Lucis Trust stands for.
It is human freedom for which they and we are fighting.
Fact, Lucis Trust/AAB/Arcane School stood against the
dark forces of Hitler and co. They acted and spoke against Nazism.
Fact, Lucis Trust is a recognised charity/org working
for human education and right relations and work for no thing counter wise.
Unfortunately for some, the Masters do not work through
one individual and never stated they would. It is their purpose to disseminate the wisdom through any available and
suitable means at their disposal and according to conditions and law.
To claim that our beloved HPB is the only messenger
of the Great White Brotherhood is naive and applies the limits of the neophyte to the Masters!
All For One!

The Externalization of the Hierarchy - Section II -
The General World Picture:
The Axis World Order. The totalitarian order must go
because it is contrary to the spiritual vision. The world order, as visioned by Hitler, is based upon the subjection of the
weak to the rule of a super-Germany; it is one in which the life of the little nations will be allowed to go on just in so
far as they serve the need of Germany. The lesser Axis powers are permitted existence only because they benefit German aims
- Italy, to give Germany scope in the Mediterranean; Japan, to handle the Asiatic problem which is too large for Germany to
handle alone. It is an order whose intention is that the best of all industrial and agricultural products shall go to Germany
and the unwanted residue to the little nations. It is an order in which the educational processes will be controlled by the
dominant super-race. All departments of knowledge will be subordinated to the glorification of Germany. Germany will be portrayed
as the seed of all world glory, and as the ruthless savior of mankind; the beauties of war, of struggle and of physical strength
will be emphasized, and these so-called admirable objectives of the human spirit will be developed to produce a race of men
in whom the "effeminate" beauties of loving kindness and wise consideration for others will find no place.
I would call your attention to the teaching now being
given to the German youth. Might is right. The German belongs to the super-race, and all other races are inferior. Only a
chosen aristocracy should be permitted the privilege of education and of rule. The masses of the people are no more than cattle
and exist only to be slaves of the superior race. War is to men what childbirth is to women. War is a natural process and
therefore eternally right. All sources of supply must be controlled by Germany, and consequently even those nations at present
neutral must be brought under the German sphere of influence. The totalitarian powers will dominate the economic system of
the world and control all imports and exports. The standard of living in both hemispheres will be lowered; everything will
be related to the good of Germany, and no other nation will be considered. Christian teaching and Christian ethics must necessarily
be eliminated, because Germany regards Christianity and its divine Founder as effeminate and weak, as emphasizing the softer
qualities of human nature, and as responsible for the decadence of all nations, except Germany. Christianity must also be
overthrown because it is based on Jewish sources; the rule of Christ must come to an end, because only the rule of force is
right.
In the world order of the Axis powers, the individual
has no rights; he has no freedom except in so far as he serves the state; there will be no liberty of thought or conscience,
all issues will be decided by the state, and the private citizen will have no right to an opinion. Men will be drafted like
slaves into the service of the state. Such is the picture of the order which the Axis powers are preparing
to impose upon the world, and to this their own words testify. Only insight into the true nature of this crisis, a determination
to face the facts, and fearlessness will suffice to defeat Hitler. This conquering fearlessness must be based on a recognition
of the spiritual values involved, on a belief in God, and on a common sense which is determined to establish security, right
human relations and liberty.
It is important that people face up to the facts immediately.
They must realize what is the nature of the world order which Hitler is preparing to enforce, and what lies ahead of humanity
if the Axis powers triumph. It is essential that the little children of the world be rescued from this over-shadowing evil
and from the false education to which they will be subjected if the totalitarian powers hold Europe in their grasp. The intensive
culture given to the youth of Germany during the past twenty years has proved the effects of environing mental attitudes.
These boys who roll their tanks and fly their planes over the countries of Europe and who wage war on women and children are
the product of an educational system, and are therefore the victims of an evil process. The children of Germany must be rescued
from the future which Hitler plans, as well as the children of other countries; the women of Germany must be set free from
fear, as must the women in other lands; the population of Germany must also be liberated from the evil rule of Hitler.
This is recognized by the allied nations. Make no mistake.
The German is as dear to the heart of humanity, to God, to Christ and to all right thinking people as are any other people.
The German must be rescued from Hitler's world order as much as the Pole, the Jew, the Czech or any captive nation. In effecting
this freedom, the allied nations and the neutral powers must preserve the spirit of goodwill, even when using force, which
is the only means of conquest the totalitarian powers understand.
The Forces of Evil sought for those leaders and groups
who are the materialistic correspondence to the spiritual leaders and those who seek to guide humanity along right lines.
They took possession (and I use this word with deliberation) of the evil men who led the Axis Powers - Hitler, Tojo, Goebbels,
Ribbentrop, Himmler and - to a much lesser degree - Mussolini, Hess, Goering and others. They completely overpowered the minds
of these men, already distorted with ambition and sadistic inclinations. Who, you ask, do I mean by "they"? I mean those intelligent
evil, unloving, hateful Individualities who are to the world of selfish and material focus what the Hierarchy of Masters,
working under the Christ, are to struggling human aspirants. The power of these evil forces is enormous, for they recognize
no restrictions or ordinary decent, human limitations; they work through violence, coercion, cruelty, hate, terror and lies;
they aim to subjugate the human consciousness through the complete control of men's minds, through the withholding of good
and the promulgation of evil. EXT

"The ancient and inherited ideas which have controlled
the racial life for centuries -aggression for the sake of possession and the authority of a man or a group or a church which
represents the State. For purposes of policy such powers may work behind the scenes but their tenets and motives are easily
recognizable - selfish ambition and a violently imposed authority. Those ideas which are relatively new such as Nazism, Fascism,
and Communism, though they are not really as new as people are apt to think. They are alike on one important point, i.e. The
State or community of human beings counts as of importance whilst the individual does not; he can be sacrificed at any time
for the good of the State or for the so-called general good. Destiny Of The Nations 09. AAB.
It is here that the power of speech makes itself felt,
just as in the department of religion or of education the power of the written word, of the printed page, is felt. In the
field of politics, the masses are swayed by their orators, and never more so than now through the use of the radio. Great
ideas are dinned into the ear of the public without cessation -theories as to dictatorship, communism, nazism, fascism, marxism,
nationalism and democratic ideals. Methods of rule by this or that group of thinkers are presented to the public, leaving
them no time for consideration, or for clear thinking. Racial antipathies are spread, and personal preferences and illusions
find expression, bringing about the deception of the unthinking. The man who has a golden tongue, the man who has the gift
of playing with words and can voice with emphasis people's grievances, the juggler in statistics, the fanatic with a certain
and sure cure for social ills and the man who loves to fan race hatreds, can ever get a following. Such men can with facility
upset the balance of the community and lead a body of unthinking adherents to a transient success and power, or to obloquy
and oblivion. Education In New Age 115. AAB.
Shamballa force (in spite of its attendant risks) to
pour into the world. The objective was to stimulate the free will of the masses; the result upon them has been relatively
good as it has led to the formulation and expression of the great world ideologies -Fascism, Democracy and Communism as well
as that peculiarly distorted blend of Fascism and Communism which goes by the name of Hitlerism or Nazism. All these ideologies
are fostered by the desire of the masses for the betterment of the condition in which the populace in any country lives and
it has become focused, expressive and creative by the force of the Shamballa influence. But another result of this inflow
of the will-to-power has been to stimulate a certain group of outstanding personalities in many lands so that they have assumed
control of the masses and can thus determine the policies and methods -religious, political and social - of the different
nations. In every nation a relatively small group of people decide all important issues and determine all major national activities.
This they do either by force, terror and deception or by persuasion, fair words and the application of ideological motives.

These nations want understanding cooperation; they
want the implements for agriculture, immediate relief in food and clothing, plus the wherewithal to start again their educational
institutions, to organize their schools and to equip them with what is immediately required. They certainly do not want a
horde of well-meaning people taking over their educational or medical institutions, or imposing democratic, communistic or
any other particular ideology upon them. Naturally, the principles of Nazism and of Fascism must be swept away, but the nations
must be free to work out their own destiny. They have each of them their own traditions, cultures and backgrounds. They are
being forced to build anew but what they build must be their own; it must be distinctive of them and an expression of their
own inner life. It is surely the function of the wealthier and free nations to help them to build so that the new world can
come into being." Problems Of Humanity 42. AAB.
