Mar 20th


Dear Friend Louis, etc.:
Dallas says:
Hopefully this will never be announced.  It is something that
will be sensed by those who have made themselves "ready."

Those who are curious will search and probe, and as was done in
the very early days after HPB's death, the speculators may take
advantage of any prominence, or they may try to create one.
Personally, I think it is a part of the "testing" process,
whereby the motives of students are revealed TO THEMSELVES.
Theosophy, esotericism, occultism are all common-sense matters.
But seeking to grasp them fully with the hints and information
given, encourages the growth of our minds and their innate
powers.
If we live to be of service to others we will soon find those who
are doing this without any hope of personal benefit, or reward,
or recognition.  But we will also have to place ourselves in
their company.
It is like those who tried to contact the Masters - even using
psychic means and "channeling" or "trance mediums."  They missed
the point because their motives were limited, selfish, curious,
and we can see evidences of this continued condition all around
us.
Best wishes
Dallas

Subject:	Theos-World Who was HPB referring to?

In Blavatsky-net, the HPB quote of the day was:

<<Quote of the Day (for Mar 19):

The same will be said [is a forgery etc.] of the Secret Archaic
Doctrine, when
proofs are given of its undeniable existence and records. But it
will take
centuries [from 1888] before much more is given from it. ... In
Century the
Twentieth some disciple more informed, and far better fitted, may
be sent by
the Masters of Wisdom to give final and irrefutable proofs that
there exists a
Science called Gupta-Vidya [secret, esoteric knowledge]; and that
like the
once-mysterious sources of the Nile, the source of all religions
and
philosophies now known to the world has been for many ages
forgotten and lost
to men, but is at last found. -- Secret Doctrine Vol I intro page
xxxviii. By
Helena Blavatsky.>>

Now that we have come to the end of it, who do we "century
twenty"
theosophists, think this disciple was or is. Or, is the emphasis
still on "MAY
COME."

Louis
