Dear Skeptic:

	All your letters (or fragments?) quoted below exclude the last 10
years of Mr. Judge's life, and ignore statements by H.P.B. regarding his
chelaship.

>I have received from
>several theosophists on >theos-talk letters of WQ Judge.  He writes
>about his lack of communication with the Masters:
>
>"Now I would be very much pleased could I know
>from whom it [the note] came, whether Kashmir
>or M. or who of all the long list of great ones.
>........I have also in a black walnut affair
>between the windows in an inner place the brass
>gong given me in 1878.  But nothing ever comes
>there, of which I complain not, inasmuch as
>I suppose I am not able to receive anything."
>Letter of January 12, 1881 to HPB and Co.
>
>"Once I had the honour and advantage of
>hearing wisdom from M. but that has ceased long
>ago.......I do not even suppose M. would
>answer you in regard to me except in enigmatical
>terms, however much either of us desired........
>Will you dare to speak to M. for me?.......
>Will you ask him whether he considers it worth
>while to send me through you a word of advice.
>......."Letter of July 26th 1881 to Damodar Malankaar
>
>"Although I never had the name given me I have
>when Mme. Blavatsky was here had the honor of
>hearing from him viva voce, I mean Koot Hoomi and
>also from others............While H.P.B. was here,
>they came many and many a time and spoke with
>Olcott and myself.  but their identity was
>secure because neither of us at that time could
>piece the wall of matter and see the true
>occupant.  We had to depend entirely upon
>changes of expression." Letter of August 1,
>1881 to Alfred Sinnett
>
>"I know that M. and the other are watching me------
>and maybe helping too-------but they say nothing."
>Letter of Jan 16, 1882 to HS Olcott
>
>"M wrote me through H.P.B. that I was a rose
>colored loafer........."  Letter of May 17th, 1882
>to HS Olcott
>
>"Now as to me will you ask [the Master]
>if there be anything to say to
>me.  I work all the time.  How does he explain
>the meaning of his message through you that I
>'showed intuition by leaving India.'"  If you
>do not care to bother with [it], it will not make
>any difference.  If 10 years have not made any
>change certainly fialure to get this will not."
>Letter of February 5, 1886 to Madame Blavatsky
>
>"You know well that of all the Theosophs I have
>heard least from Masters.  I suppose there must
>be good cause, either my fault or best for
>my development.  Can you say?  Will you say?"
>Letter of September 3, 1886 to Mme. Blavatsky

	To understand W.Q.J. the occultist, you must read his writings.
To understand his inner struggles suggested by the quotations above, I
suggest you read ~Letters That Have Helped Me~, available from United
Lodge of Theosophists and Theosophical University Press.
