The reason for their so called "retreat into silence" (on the material plane,
that is) is that everything we needed to know for the next phase of the
Theosophical Movement was already given us by HPB. For one thing, she said,
that we should teach the masses the truths of reincarnation and karma using
the "language of the age." After that, DK, a self professed "teacher" of KH
and M (whether true or not), reinforced this by saying, through Alice Bailey
(disregarding all the other fantasies and interpretations that she may have
added out of her own mind), that that new language will be the electronic
mass communication media to come in another 50 years or so (since he spoke in
the mid thirties). Was this a legitimate message from the Masters
prophesying the Internet, satellite movie and TV transmissions, satellite
telephony, etc., that had to come through AAB with her mass of
neo-theosophist followers -- since HPB was no longer around? Should
theosophists of any stripe leave any stone unturned in following up the
teachings of HPB? Don't we all still believe in the Fundamental Principles?
Isn't that what really counts in the long run?
It seems to me, that the Internet and the mass entertainment media fulfills
both those "messages" of the Masters. Their teachings were given out, in
full, at the end of the 18th century to be studied and assimilated by the
theosophical "companions" in the 20th century, as preparation for their
eventual gathering together to carry out the "action" phase destined to take
place in the 21st century.
Judging by the recent statistics of how many people today (more than 50%)
believe in reincarnation and karma, compared to the beginning of the 20th
century, is proof enough that HPB's teachings have been somewhat fruitful.
But, the "masses" have yet to be influenced to act on these beliefs, because
they do not understand their ramifications from a theosophical or spiritual po
int of view -- as immutable "Laws of Nature." To teach them, en masse, will
be the work of those theosophical "companions" who have intuitively
understood the real nature of the Movement, as well as the overall "Plan,"
and are ready to take part in the next "positive action" phase of the
Movement.
It's a fact that the "Theosophical Movement" always appears in two 100 year
stages or phases, which correspond to the positive and negative aspects of
all cycles (vide a sine wave) -- one phase, subjective (since its on mental
and spiritual planes) and the other objective (since its action is on the
astral and physical planes) . The first, is when the teachings are given out
in their complete form for a century of subjective study. And the following
phase, is when the actual work is done to objectively fulfill the plan of
physical action. Examine the 16th century teachings that empowered the work
of the 17th century revolutions establishing the "rights of man" in American,
and its reflection in Europe, and eventually, Asia, over the next centuries
-- in preparation for the Teachings written by HPB to subjectively empower us
during the 20th century for the objective work to be done in the 21st.
Apparently, the leaders of the TS and other "old timers" in the movement,
while versed in the letter of the theosophical teachings, and in management
of study groups are not the real "intuitive student's whom HPB said will
understand the underlying meaning of her teachings by "reading between the
lines and in the words." Some of us, however, have apparently gotten this
message many years ago and have been and are now hard at work following the
guidance of HPB, and preparing the new "action messages," that are soon to be
disseminated through the mass media to fulfill this mandate.
Many of these new mass media approaches, however, are wisely disguised to
appear as pure entertainment, with no mention of theosophy, per se (which
might turn off many people due to the bad propaganda disseminated by those
influenced by the Dugpas during the past century, or by its connotation as a
religion)... But, the productions won't be non-theosophical, since they will
include all its underlying teachings of karma, reincarnation, and Universal
Brotherhood, as "laws of Nature", as well as the means to achieve individual
"Self Realization," along with the means to actively realign the Earths
internal energies and restore its harmonious ecology, both objectively and
subjectively -- using the conjoined "psychical powers latent in man(kind)."
(There has to be an underlying purpose for the third object that couldn't be
too obvious on its surface, don't you think?) Incidentally, some of us have
individually received these messages since around 1976 on purely subjective
levels, or by direct teachings from living "agents" of the Masters -- since
there are many dangers if prematurely revealed publicly.
Therefore, be assured, the Masters are not entirely "silent." And, since the
recent full moon at the winter solstice, with the moon at perigee and the sun
at apogee, along with the planetary alignment, was a sign that the spiritual
cycle is in close phase with the material cycle, the Masters can reach us on
the mind level very easily now (and will be around for at least the next few
decades, I would assume). Those that can hear, will hear, and those that can
see, will see... So, stay tuned --you intuitive theosophists... Our time is
yet to come... And, soon.
On a more mundane level... Naturally, the high costs and skills involved in
such media penetration would necessarily require the efforts of professional
people with broad media knowledge, and who are also theosophists (whether or
not members of the TS or other theosophical groups) -- in order to raise the
immense funds needed, and to carry out the necessarily highly skilled work.
Much of this has been prepared in thought, plans, blueprints and "treatments"
over the past 25 years, and is now ready for initiation in physical reality.
I, for one, have been active on the Internet long before it became the world
wide web, and active in the mass entertainment media long before there were
satellite transmissions or cable television, and have always recognized their
potentials for theosophical messages since I first picked up the SD over
forty years ago and filled two copies with margin notes leading to my theory
of ABC (see: http://www.tellworld.com/Astro.Biological.Coenergetics/) and the
writing of the theosophically based Solarworld Chronicles, a series of
theatrical and television movies (now, with current desktop super computer
technologies, capable of being transmitted directly over the Internet) that
are now ready for preproduction development. There are also many other
allied projects of a worldwide reconstructive nature proposed by me and other
"professional" theosophists (in the ULT declaration sense), also now ready
for "blueprinting" in the Solarworld Chronicles, as well as physical
development when the time is ripe. Some of the preparatory work to set the
stage (also of a theosophical nature as well as disguised as pure
entertainment) has already been produced by other "underground" theosophical
workers such as Spielberg, Lucas, Roddenberry, Kubrick, Bradbury, etc., along
with a slew of other writers, producers and directors in all media.
So, back to the future... Those of us who wish to take part in, or contribute
to, or are interested in such new and upcoming efforts should search on the
world wide web, and see how this is being done on many levels and with many
parallel projects by various theosophical thinkers (overt theosophists or
not) who are guided by the Masters and their teachings. To get an inkling of
what I've had in mind for the past 20 years, you might start with my web page

With no expectations, I would appreciate anyone interested in further
information as to how they can contribute along these lines, to directly
contact me by e-mail. I am particularly interested in talking to theosophical
ly oriented writers, producers, directors, production designers, artists,
managers, technologists, computer graphicists, etc. -- with professional
experience or useful connections -- as well as those who have contacts with
such people or with other "theosophists" having direct or indirect access to
substantial sums of money (for investment purposes, if not direct
contributions).
