I strongly object to this deletion request, because it is not self-promotion, and is a worthy topic, that is not yet listed in Wiki. No organization has a monopoly on the Ageless Wisdom, nor do any make such an absurd claim. There are other similar and related topics ie: Theosophy, Anthrosophy, Rosicrucians, Great White Brotherhood et al, on wiki. This topic should be kept on Wiki and allowed to improve with time. I have made some changes on the description, added/deleted quotations, and rearranged, deleted & added some links, in an attempt to satisfy the complainant. What else is needed to prevent this from being axed?
Thanks

Ageless Wisdom

Some New Age adherents believe that "Ageless Wisdom" is a term used to describe metaphysical and Theosophical teachings believed to have been given by the Great White Brotherhood through some of their disciples, especially those of H.P. Blavatsky, Alice A. Bailey & Benjamin Creme.

The teachings are also called by some adherents, the "Ancient Wisdom" teachings. They suggest that "God" consists of the sum total of all energies in the universe and claim that the purpose of life is for mankind to learn to have "right human relationships". They include teachings about human evolution, the laws of karma & rebirth (reincarnation), meditation, and esoteric psychology.

"During the past one hundred years, the esoteric doctrines and the secret teaching of the Ageless Wisdom--given to the public often under the pledge of secrecy -- have become public property. The nature of man as taught in the mystery schools of the past has -- under other names--become recognisable as modern psychology." Alice Bailey in "The Unfinished Autobiography", Lucis Publishing Company, 1949.

Quotes on the Ageless Wisdom

"...My work is to teach and spread the knowledge of the Ageless Wisdom wherever I can find a response, and I have been doing this for many years. I seek also to help the Master M. and the Master K.H. whenever opportunity offers, for I have been long connected with Them and with Their work. In all the above, I have told you much; yet at the same time I have told you nothing which would lead you to offer me that blind obedience and the foolish devotion which the emotional aspirant offers to the Guru and Master Whom he is as yet unable to contact..." from the "Extract from a Statement by the Tibetan" a single page, that appears at the begining of each of the 24 books by Alice Bailey.

"The sources of the Ageless Wisdom Teachings are not credited to any human being. The wisdom is a Teaching of Life that has been written in Infinity and revealed to the sages and Great Messengers in the world as gifts to humanity. No messenger, or sage claims ownership to the Teaching, for to do so would be of arrogance. The Greatest of all the Teachers of Wisdom considers him or herself not to be the source of the message, but a messenger of the Great Teaching of Life." White Mountain Education Association

"...the "Ageless Wisdom teachings are the teachings by which humanity is kept informed of its essential divinity, and of its journey of evolution by which means we perfect ourselves." Benjamin Creme

"The Ageless Wisdom is called the “Golden Thread” that connects the inner, hidden teachings at the heart of the world’s religions, East and West. It’s often referred to as the “Perennial Philosophy” because it’s been present on earth in some form since the beginning of recorded history." Corinne McLaughlin (Executive Director of The Center for Visionary Leadership)
