Theos-Talk Archives (October 2003 Message tt00143)

Hi, Dears:

I am Krishtar, new to the group but not new to the Theosophy, which I have studied since my last life.
I can see there is a lot of discussion here and that is good, as long as respect is held..
A new question for the group:
Are there any Avatars in this world?
For example, Sai Baba claims to be one, but has anyone read any of his proclaimed teachings?
It is said that he does materializations and healings.
Unfortunately no one has ever been there to make further research on him, principally under controled conditions, which he denied to.
Nostradamus once predicted the appearance of the new prophet, and his devotees say that he has filled the requirements, hm?
Materialization , excluded mediumship, in which one canīt control the circumstances, is a work of a strong control on will power.
HPB did it many times, but to have a total control of will is only for those who achieved total control of his mind, and it means a high personal development.
Magic can also produce levitation but HPB advised not to use, because one may loose himself in the phenomenical world and stop developing and also because through magic we open doors to unknown forces and unknown forms of intelligence that a beginner in occultism couldīnt know how to deal with.

Krishtar A.
