>Leadbeater never claimed adeptship.

John, that is not quite correct. He claimed always high occult faculties.
F.e. when he launched together with Wedgwood the Old Catholic Curch (which
of course has nothing to do with the still existing Church under the same
name - a parody like the HBL of Randolpg which had nothing to do with HPB's
older HBL) Leadbeater claimed that the 12 apostles of Jesus came together in
Huizen, The Netherlands to participate this ceremony.
Leadbeater's pupil Jinarajada wrote in letters that Annie Besant and C.W.
Leadbeater were the the biggest initiates of the TS (this paragraphs were
made public in the famous DAWN magazine by the Sydney Lodge of Australia
which was loyal to HPB and anti AB and anti CWL).

Mary Luytens, 1981, p. 250, states that George Arundale and Wedgwood saw
themselves as direct pupils of the Maha-Chohan, Wegdwood as the coming Maha
chohan of the 7th root race, Annie Besant was regarded as the Manu and CWL
as the Bodhisattva.

CWL also made frequently astral night flights with his sleeping pupils to
the Wesak valley to the Maha Chohan. No pupil has had any recollection to
their own initiations, but CWL was so friendly to tell them all details next
morning.
Do you believe that someone gets dates with the Maha Chohan in the night to
bring him initiate-pupils wihtout being himself an adept? Only adepts get
dates with the boss of the Masters.
