Thanks. I have read the material you have quoted.

The "re-run" I am mentioning is the manner in which Lord Maitreya was supposed
to appear. When Lord Krishna came in India, he did not come with Apostles and
when religious truths were presented there were no rituals used. Later when Lord
Jesus came, we have the Apostles and the rituals associated with the church.
When the second coming was expected, there was an expectation that there would
be a set of Apostles (none of them from Hispanic or African Descent) and the
associated rituals very similar to the ones in vogue in the Catholic Church and
the LCC was formed.

The quote you mentioned, I think was not published until Krishnamurti passed
away. I wish they were published when he was alive and may be we would have some
first hand feedback from him.

Also, while I am no occultist, I wonder about some limitation about level of
occult information that Geoffrey Hodson may be privy to and hence we may never
know the full story of what really happened in the inner worlds. This limitation
question came to my mind due to an incident that Hodson himself had mentioned.
When he and a group of students visited Kancheepuram -- a suburb of
Madras/Chennai where Shri Sankaracharya is head quartered, he inquired about the
Great Rishi Agastya. The heads of the Kancheepuram Mutt are considered to be
Initiates and that was why he seemed to have made the inquiry. He was told by
Sankaracharya (I am writing this from my memory) that the Rishi has his abode in
Himalayas and his physical body has undergone a change. If Hodson had known
about this information independently, he would have stated that he was inquiring
to confirm the correctness of the information he had. From the way this incident
was presented, it appears that he was unaware of the information.

As a comment, I would also like to point out that while HPB was in contact with
many Adepts, most of the time, she was totally unaware of the plans of Adepts.
Even she was unaware of the time of departure to US from France until a few days
before the departure. Hence my surmise is that most of chelas are not privy to a
lot of information on the going ons at the inner higher levels, and this may be
true at each level of the Inner Government of the World.

In friendship
