No doubt you are right about this. I remember being told
much the same thing about Saraydarian when he was living in Agora
So. California. It appears that he has some real differences
with the Arcane School. But my knowledge of the AEG and the AS
is much more superficial than yours so my bases of judgement
concerning his ~Secret Doctrine~ lectures was that he held very
closely to major themes found in Bailey literature such as the
seven rays and his discussion of "the Logos" was very Bailey
like. I can hear a lecture on the ~Secret Doctrine~ or any
discussion on theosophy for that matter and tell you with
perfect accuracy whether the speaker comes from a training of AS
Adyar TS ULT or Pasadana TS. Each group has their pet themes
and phrases that are dead give-a-ways.
