Theos-Talk Archives (March 2004 Message tt00582)

I have received positive feedback on the following two webpages:

"As a Butterfly in Its Chrysalis"

"Once Awakened from Their Post-Mortem Torpor"

As one ponders the above material, one might also consider
the following material.

Master K.H. once wrote to Mr. Sinnett:

"...he who holds the keys to the secrets of Death is possessed of the keys of Life...."

Quoted from:
http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/mahatma/ml-65.htm

Master M. also wrote to A.P. Sinnett:

"The whole individuality is centred in the three middle or 3rd, 4th and 5th principles. During earthly life it is all in the fourth the centre of energy, volition -- will. Mr. Hume has perfectly defined the difference between personality and individuality. The former hardly survives -- the latter, to run successfully its seven-fold downward and upward course has to assimilate to itself the eternal life-power residing but in the seventh and then blend the three (fourth, fifth and seventh) into one -- the sixth. Those who succeed in doing so become Buddhs, Dyan Chohans, etc. The chief object of our struggles and initiations is to achieve this union while yet on this earth. Those who will be successful have nothing to fear of during the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds. But this is a mystery. Our beloved K.H. is on his way to the goal -- the highest of all beyond as on this sphere." 

Quoted from:

H.P. Blavatsky in an 1881 letter gives some insight on Master M.'s above statement that "K.H. is on his way to the goal" :

". . . Koot-Hoomi is now gone to sleep for three months to prepare during this Sumadhi or continuous trance state for his initiation, the last but one, when he will become one of the highest adepts. Poor K. H. his body is now lying cold and stiff in a separate square building of stone (1) with no windows or doors in it, the entrance to which is effected through an underground passage from a door in Toong-ting (reliquary, a room situated in every Thaten (temple) or Lamisery; and his Spirit is quite free. An adept might lie so for years, when his body was carefully prepared for it beforehand by mesmeric passes etc. It is a beautiful spot where he is now in the square tower. The Himalayas on the right and a lovely lake near the lamisery. His Cho-han (spiritual instructor, master, and the Chief of a Tibetan Monastery takes care of his body. M . . also goes occasionally to visit him. It is an awful mystery that state of cataleptic sleep for such a length of time. . . ."

Master M. wrote again to Mr. Sinnett's about K.H.'s "retreat":

". . . At a certain spot not to be mentioned to outsiders, there is a chasm spanned by a frail bridge of woven grasses and with a raging torrent beneath. The bravest member of your Alpine clubs would scarcely dare to venture the passage, for it hangs like a spider's web and seems to be rotten and impassable. Yet it is not; and he who dares the trial and succeeds -- as he will if it is right that he should be permitted -- comes into a gorge of surpassing beauty of scenery -- to one of our places and to some of our people, of which and whom there is no note or minute among European geographers. At a stone's throw from the old Lamasery stands the old tower, within whose bosom have gestated generations of Bodhisatwas. It is there, where now rests your lifeless friend [K.H.]...."

their right value; and unless a judge compares notes and
hears both sides he can hardly come to a correct decision."
