Hi folks -

Thanks for the help with the Maitreya image. I think this is the one that was
used by the LCC:

Can anyone confirm?

As to Steiner and the preparation of the World Teacher -- Steiner believed in
the immanent return of the Christ, but he taught that this return would be in
the etheric realm, and not through a physical vehicle. So he had big problems
with Krishnamurti. There are a bunch of Steiner lectures on this - I think
some are collected under the title: The Reapppearance of Christ in the Etheric.


As someone pointed out, RS was not exactly tolerant toward those who did not
share his views. It is interesting to look at some of his lectures from 1912/13,
when the separation from the TS happened. For example, the lecture series published
as Life Between Death and Rebirth spans this period. He doesn't tackle the
TS head-on, but makes many statements about Christianity and Eastern religions
which are clearly aimed at the conflict.
