Hi Pedro
Are you fine?
Here is Krishtar from Theosophic list.
Where are you from?
Brazil or Portugal?
You can write to krishtar_a@brturbo.com if you wish.
Good to see someone who can perhaps talk Portuguese.
The " fight " is hot now with the active participation of Daniel Caldwell again.
His site is very useful and meaningful.
Regards
Krishtar

Subject: Theos-World A new torch-bearer?
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.
