evil men; as the Vilna Gaon and other sages pointed out, the ceremonial laws of separation in<br />

the Torah are symbolic of the spiritual separation which is the essence of holiness (see<br />

commentaries on Parashat Kedoshim). The NA path to personal godhood requires the direct<br />

opposite: spiritual union with evil. So it is actually holiness which is the evil targeted for<br />

elimination.]<br />

9e. Ethics and Justice - Because karma has taken over the dispensing of reward and<br />

punishment, morality and victims are obsolete concepts from the old "dualist dispensation".<br />

All injury and suffering is merited, whether the sufferer is aware of his offense or not. On the<br />

other hand, since good and evil are both necessary for spiritual perfection, those who injure or<br />

wrong others need only to be taught that man is his own satan just as man is his own<br />

salvation, and that evil is not moral guilt but spiritual imbalance. Evil energies, as Spangler<br />

says, are simply energies used out of timing or out of place, or just not suited to the needs of<br />

evolution. In accordance with this idea, prisons and mental hospitals are investing heavily in<br />

"higher consciousness" training as rehabilitation. Due to reincarnation, there is also no such<br />

thing as murder, so in the New Age no one can be prosecuted for being the instrument of<br />

karma in sending someone on to their next life; on the contrary, it can be counted a service.<br />

[All this being established NA doctrine, what of the NA groups working for "human rights"?<br />

See the Humanity section which shows that "human rights" is interpreted as the rights of<br />

"humanity", not individual human rights.]<br />

10. The "other" creator: the G-d of the Jews.<br />

Gnosticism forms the base of Theosophical belief about the G-d of the Jewish Bible<br />

(discussed at length by HPB, _The Secret Doctrine_, II p.243-244) She identifies him as a<br />

gnostic "Demiurgos" (a minor deity) named "Ilda-Baoth, whom several sects regarded as the<br />

God of Moses." Curiously, she goes out of her way to add that Ilda-Baoth is the "Demiurge of<br />

the Nazarenes" as well. [This is the historical term for the earliest disciples of Jesus, who were<br />

all Jews.] She describes him as "not a pure spirit, he was ambitious and proud, and rejecting<br />

the spiritual light of the middle space offered him by his mother Sophia-Achamoth, he set<br />

himself to create a world of his own." He successfully "created" the physical universe, but<br />

only with help from "Sophia", who immediately regretted her part in the endeavor. HPB goes<br />

on to describe his creation of man as "a failure", resulting in "a monster, soulless, ignorant<br />

and crawling on all fours." Sophia steps in again, and endows man with a soul, which fills<br />

Ilda-Baoth with "rage and envy" as he watches his creature set out to follow the divine ray<br />

within, aspiring to godhood. In order to block man's ascension, the demiurge deliberately<br />

(and quite unfairly) leaves mankind ignorant of good and evil, the first initiation into spiritual<br />

awareness. He leaves man with only materialistic life, "physical immortality - a kind of static<br />

immortality that would have transformed man into an undying 'Wandering Jew'." [Implied<br />

here is that the Jews, whom Bailey does not hesitate to label as still "wandering", are a living<br />

example of the uninitiated who have no place of "rest" in the new humanity.] One third of the<br />

angelic gods refused to go along with this creator's scheme to withhold enlightenment from<br />

his creatures; they "rebelled", and led by Lucifer, they approached man to offer him godconsciousness.<br />

(See more in her chapter, "The Secret of the Fall of the Angels", II, p.75) "It<br />

is but natural," HPB concludes (p.243), "to view Satan, the Serpent of Genesis, as the real<br />

creator and benefactor, the Father of Spiritual mankind. For it is he who was the 'Harbinger<br />

of Light,' bright radiant Lucifer, who opened the eyes of the automaton created by Jehovah, as<br />

alleged." [See how the Nazis adopted this idea, in that section.]<br />

Bailey also describes the G-d of the Jews, but some effort is needed to identify Him beneath<br />

the occult terminology (_A Treatise on Cosmic Fire_ D, p.947-951). In the abstract terms<br />

reserved for highly placed Entities, she first calls him a "great manifestation". But, unlike the
