Theos-Talk Archives (March 2004 Message tt00732)

Pedro,
In all honesty, no, I am not familiar with the Krishnamurti quote you
give to me and others. I candidly state that I have not read the works
and publications of Krishnamurti. I have scant exposure to them. Even
though I lived in LA for twenty years. I was aware that he lived at Ojai
the Theosophical Retreat and even have several friends that had been to
see him and have read his works which they valued highly. My post was
limited to the Madison Square Garden. I do not think of Krishnamurti as
responsible for the actions of Besant and leadbeater and I am grateful
to him for his action then. I appreciate the spiritual altitude he has in
his discourses that I have had exposure to and it is to his credit that he
proceeded and became the unique figure in Theosophy that he did in 
the decades following the Madison Square Garden disaster. In one post
it was said he left Theosophy but this contrasts his living at Ojai and the
large following that he developed that thronged to him there. It is a very
unusual context. The fact that Leadbeater and Besant groomed him from
childhood for the role they planned has no mark on him in my view, it
and remains their creation in the timeline.

As to what he says in the quote, having not read his works I am without
a defined understanding to just what he is stating in the reference and
so I make no jump in speculation about it. you are welcome to expand
on it if you desire. But from what he says it reminds me of Madame
Blavatsky and many of the statements she made and I do find agreement 
with most of all he said with the sole exception of the ability to will the
ordered controlled exit from the physical in the limit of the very
advanced Adepts. Perhaps what is a monitor to the expression of Will 
concerns the Karmic residuals, my speculation here.
