Theos-Talk Archives (March 2004 Message tt00723)

Daniel,
While reading string of thread posts betwixt you and Morten my mind 
as usual wandered to a peculiar place involving the history post
Blavatsky. In the forefront of my thought I was looking at the Madison
Square Garden event which Annie Besant and leadbeater had devised
very carefully for years. Krishnamurti in actuality before a full house
and perhaps a wide Radio audience then recanted and disavowed
publicly before all there that he was not what Besant and Leadbeater
had claimed. How dismayed and dejected they must have been to have
been so publicly embarrassed before the entire world.

But let us do a thought experiment and imagine that Krishnamurti had
not repudiated the status they placed upon him and had indeed 
Declared that he was the awaited personage they claimed he was.
What then would have been the effects created for Theosophy? And
what consequences though imaginary here would have taken place?
Would there then be a complement to Alice Baileys origination's?
Would Alice Bailey's works have been pre-empted? What had Besant
and leadbeater planned to take place as the continued augmentation
after a successful declaration at Madison Square Garden and what
would have been the form, context and teachings they must have
spent time well planning to implement around Krishnamurti had he
carried out their will and purpose.

Something to consider,
John
