There's letter by a
Mr Emil August Neresheimer dated
March 31, 1896 detailng Mrs
Tingley channelling
deceased W Judge.  Excerpts follow
& comments at end-------

"The day after he [Judge] died he
sent for me through [a symbol here
designating Mrs K Tingley] with whom
he made me acquainted in 1894........
Next day early I called, could not
connect with him [Judge], all
I could get through [Mrs Tingley] was
'to go slow, immensely slow.'
He had something to say before the
incineration.  He came again at
12 m. next day but said nothing
of any account. [Mrs Tingley] was
not conscious.
Two days afterward I was sent for
in the evening.............I went,
made notes of what he [Judge] wished
me to say to the others, which was
mostly retailing my entire connection,
introduction by him [Judge] to [Mrs
Tingley], all that transpired about the
arrangement of the Convention of 1895,
program of which was furnished me by
[Mrs Tingley] and which was carried out.
This I did to the (skeptical) audience
consisting of E.T.H. Patterson, James
Pryse, Griscom, Fussell (who were all
designated to hear it) and I also
transmitted the appointment for all
of us to meet at Purple's [Mrs Tingley]
same evening at 7:45 p.m.
The Rajah [Judge] commenced to talk
almost immediately through [Mrs Tingley],
suggesting to select the Outer-Head
and the Council.  First change of
feeling occurred at recognition
of the Rajah.  Skepticism was
carried to the winds, doubts vanished,
and spontaneity prevailed........I
tell you the thing was most wonderful
and impressive......"


E Neresheimer letter was to
A Cleather & is in Point
Loma archives. Correspondent writes
E Neresheimer was close friend
of Mr Judge's & was executor of
Judge's will.

JHE doubts Rajah is name
for W Judge.

But I recd. 4 emails from
readers who declare
W Judge was known as----Rajah.
Among references were
"Theosophy"---May 1896----

"the Rajah---as the real
W.Q.J. was so often called"
wrote "T."
&
"He was called by some
The Rajah."
wrote E Neresheimer.

Don't have copies of "Theosophy".

& thanks to D Tenbroeck
reference to "Letters that
have helped me", p 274 E
Hargrove mentions---

"On morning of March 19th,
he [W Judge] asked me to make
full enquires...............
Mr. Neresheimer called that
afternoon, and it was after
he had said goodbye, and when
I was sitting by the side of
Mr. Judge's sofa, that the
"Rajah" suddenly roused the
body out of the half-sleep
in which it had been lying,
and with his unmistakable
force said:  "There should
be calmness.  Hold fast.
Go slow.".......................

D Tenbrock cites p 294 in
"Letters".  There E
Neresheimer repeats on W
Judge-----------

""He never tired of making things
plain and simple............He
was called by some "The Rajah."

& Visanu's posting---------

>There is no detailed knowledge but rather suggestive hint that the
>personality of W. Q. Judge was not the Raja, it is his Higher Ego that
>included the latter as one of its rays. This fact, however, doesn't
>contradict his being called Rajah.
>
>Extracts from  Dialogue of  G. de Purucker  November 27, 1929
>
>"Student : .... Do I understand correctly that the soul which filled
the
>body of the one whom we have learned to know as Mr. Judge, was at the
same
>time filling the body of the Raja? If this is so, how could it happen
that
>this soul could be attracted to the two bodies at the same time? Also,
I
>understand that the Raja died before Mr. Judge did. Was this not a
relief to
>Mr. Judge? And why was it not a chance for his poor, tired, and sick
body to
>pick up a bit? Please tell us more about this.
>
>G. de P. : .... Now, I do not like to say much about Mr. Judge's case,
for
>the reason that there is a mystery there, to which Mr. Judge himself
has but
>faintly alluded. But the mere passing, the dying, of the Hindu prince
called
>the Raja would not necessarily at all increase or better the state of
health
>which Mr. Judge himself had, because that was another body entirely. A
ray
>of sunlight failing upon you might comfort you with its warmth and
light and
>in other ways be pleasing to you and helpful; but another ray of
sunlight,
>another ray of light, from the same luminary, might have a very
different
>effect upon one who is lying on a sick bed. That is what I mean. "


I'm told that a Mr Prysse in
"Canadian Theosophical Journal" (1940s)
penned article on W Judge & Rajah.
Can somebody supply citation?

I still need email of Mr Eklund, Judge
expert.

All above is context.  You judge.
Hope to receive EST paper
giving W Judge---Rajah matter. Will
post.
