Kritik am Buch „The Shadow Of The Dalai Lama ... - Neues von Shi De

We hear from Helena Ivanova Roerich that “the term Shambhala truly is inseparably linked to fiery
apparitions” (H. I. Roerich, 1980, vol. I, p. 26). “Fire signs introduce the epoch of Shambhala”, writes
her spouse (Schule der Lebensweisheit, 1990, p. 29). It is not surprising that the Russian visionaries
imagined the temple of Shambhala as an “alchemic laboratory”, then a fire oven, the athanor, also
stood at the heart of the hermetic art, as western alchemy was known.
The couple consider Shambhala, the “city of happiness”, to be the “geographic residence or
workplace of the brotherhood and seat of the interplanetary government in the trans-
Himalaya” (Augustat, 1993, p. 153). In an official fundamental declaration of the two it says: “The
brotherhood is the spiritual union of highly developed entities from other planets or hierarchs, which
as a cosmic institution is responsible to a higher institution for the entire evolution of the planet Earth.
The interplanetary government consists of cosmic offices, which are occupied by the hierarch
depending on the task and the age” (Augustat, 1993, p. 149). The Mahatmas, as these hierarchs are
called in reference to Madame Blavatsky, have practical political power interests and are in direct
contact with certain heads of state of our world, even if the ordinary mortals have no inkling of this.
Then it is impossible for normal humans to discover the main lodge of the secret society: “How can
one find the way to our laboratories? Without being called no-one will get to us”, Roerich proclaims
(Schule der Lebensweisheit, 1990, p. 9). From there the Mahatmas coordinate an army of in part paid
agents, who operate here on Earth in the name of the hidden kingdom. In the meantime the whole
planet is covered by a net of members, assistants, contacts, and spies of the “international
government” who are only waiting for the sign from their command center in Shambhala in order to
step into the light and reveal themselves to humanity.
Likewise, the activities and resolutions of the “invisible international government” are all but
impenetrable for an outsider. There is a law which states that each earthly nation will only be visited
and “warned” by an envoy from Shambhala once in a century. An exception was probably made
during the French Revolution, then “hierarchs” like the Comte de Saint Germain for example were
extremely active at this troubled time. Sadly he died in the year 1784 “as a result of the undisciplined
thinking of one of his assistants”. (Schule der Lebensweisheit, 1990, p. 117). The dissolute life of his
sadhaka (pupil), Cagliostro, was probably to blame for his not being able to participate in the great
events of 1789 (the storming of the Bastille).
According to Roerich the members of the government of Shambhala have the ability to telepathically
penetrate into the consciousness of the citizens of Earth without them realizing where particular ideas
come from: “Like arrows the transmissions of the community bore into the brains of
humanity” (Schule der Lebensweisheit, 1990, p. 10). Sometimes this takes place using apparatuses
especially constructed for this purpose. But they are not permitted to openly reveal their amazing
magical abilities: “Who can exist without food? Who can get by without sleep? Who is immune to
heat and cold? Who can heal wounds? Truly only one who has studied Kalachakra” (Schule der
Lebensweisheit, 1990, p. 77).
