In my -humble- opinion, I find this work to be embarrasing to theosophy. It 
is so prurient and patent as to be laughable. I used to own the volumes of this 
work, but I gave them to the library at Olcott for their collection. 
Leadbeater was a clairvoyant, but he was also politically motivated, and far from 
perfect. He probably could not resist climbing this family tree, lol. After all, 
Krishnamurti was his own hand-picked "boy".
