Yes. He lived in East Los Angeles for many years; but before my time.

Have not read the book in many a year, but I recall it had much more to do
with treating the book of Revelation as a treatise on initiation than chakras.

The chakras are effects not causes. Keep your consciousness noble or
selflessless as best you can and the chakras will take care of themselves.

That is nice, but HPB & her Gurus did not; and I pay far more attention to
HPB & her Gurus.

Yes, I am aware of the few lines on kundalini in HPB's corpus, which is why I
said she & her Gurus wrote "very little" on the subject. If their emphasis
was not on kundalini & chakras, but on virtue for its own sake, selfless
behavior etc.; then I take that very emphasis as an important teaching in
itself.
