I'm getting a little tired of the boomers being ragged on.  Consider the
generations before the boomers - they had WW I & II, the Depression, the
oppression of women and various racial groups.  I don't think the boomers are
any better or worse than any large group incarnating at a particular time in
history.   In fact, by saying so, one is fulfilling the boomers supposed "need"
to be special and stand out in a crowd.  Stand out?  Heck, we ARE the crowd!

Who are the people we are trying to reach?  Why are we trying to reach them and
what for?

(That ole black magic has me in a spell . . . )

Excuse me.  I believe the Age of Leo extended to the Egyptian empire as well,
meaning that the First Ray was the order of the day.  I agree that probably many
former Atlanteans have come back again to see if they can get it right this
time.  Cayce had quite a bit to say about that.  Any kind of power, whether it
be magical, technological, monetary or just plain vanilla physical is hard to
resist not using for one's own end.  One can also convince oneself that one's
vision of the universe is the right one for mankind.  Then its full speed ahead
- let's make sure everybody share the vision or gets hung from the rafters.
Power is a terrific temptation.

Hmm.  Sounds good to me and also sounds a bit like TI.

 It gets even better!

That's my favorite interpretation.  Rather than billions of people following and
adoring one individual and looking up to that person for enlightenment and
answers, they would looking inside themselves and cooperating as a group.
Acording to Bailey's "The Rays and The Initiations", millions will have taken
the first initiation by the year 2025, which would mean large groups of
inidividuals in whom "the Christ was born in their hearts."  Now it would be
their job to manifest it and minimize astral glamour on the planet, by clearing
it from themselves.

Maybe Krishnamurti saw something when he refused the mantle of world teacher,
seeing that it would have hindered rather than helped.
