Theos-Talk Archives (March 2004 Message tt00274)

Daniel,

Like you, I am inclined to think that Alice Bailey's books were not 
dictated to her by the one mentioned in early theosophical literature 
as Djwal Khool, or D.K. I think there is internal evidence in 
Bailey's works and in a statement by the "Tibetan" to support this 
view, which I would like to present to this list when time permits.

But HPB did foresee the possibility of an advanced disciple of the 
Masters coming in the 20th century, as the quotes below seem to 
indicate. Do you have any idea whom he/she might have been, if it at 
all happened? 

Thanks for your resourceful site.

Pedro


>From "The Key to Theosophy" (last chapter)

If the present attempt, in the form of our Society, succeeds better 
than its predecessors have done, then it will be in existence as an 
organized, living and healthy body when the time comes for the effort 
of the XXth century. The general condition of men's minds and hearts 
will have been improved and purified by the spread of its teachings, 
and, as I have said, their prejudices and dogmatic illusions will 
have been, to some extent at least, removed. Not only so, but besides 
a large and accessible literature ready to men's hands, the next 
impulse will find a numerous and united body of people ready to 
welcome the new torch-bearer of Truth. He will find the minds of men 
prepared for his message, a language ready for him in which to clothe 
the new truths he brings, an organization awaiting his arrival, which 
will remove the merely mechanical, material obstacles and 
difficulties from his path. Think how much one, to whom such an 
opportunity is given, could accomplish. 

>From "The Secret Doctrine" (Introductory)

In Century the Twentieth some disciple more informed, and far better 
fitted, may be sent by the Masters of Wisdom to give final and 
irrefutable proofs that there exists a Science called Gupta-Vidya; 
and that, like the once-mysterious sources of the Nile, the source of 
all religions and philosophies now known to the world has been for 
many ages forgotten and lost to men, but is at last found.
