I wrote, "Leadbeater never claimed adeptship."

Frank wrote, "John, that is not quite correct. He claimed always high occult
faculties."

He was clairvoyant. That's nowhere close to claiming adeptship. If I
were clairvoyant, I'd probably do much the same as he did - write books and
lecture about what I could see.

Frank wrote, "Leadbeater claimed that the 12 apostles of Jesus came together
in Huizen, The Netherlands to participate this ceremony."

Not! Having spent 16 years in Australia, Leadbeater returned to put an
end to that nonsense.

Frank wrote, "Leadbeater's pupil Jinarajadasa wrote in letters that Annie
Besant and C.W. Leadbeater were the the biggest initiates of the TS"

Maybe they were, and maybe Jinarajadasa was in a position to know.

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

This was also part of the frenzy that Leadbeater put an end to.

Frank wrote, "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 without being himself an adept? Only
adepts get dates with the boss of the Masters."

I don't know the qualifications for meeting an adept. But I suspect the
limitation is in ourselves, that when we gain the level of consciousness to
function where they function, we will indeed have contact with them. It is
quite understandable that people would not remember the events which
occurred during physical sleep. At some point an initiate gains continuous
consciousness, so that there is no break in consciousness between day and
night. Geoffrey Hodson, in his diary, (Light of the Sanctuary) noted the
day when this occurred, and he had unbroken consciousness from that day
onward.
