Theos-Talk Archives (January 2005 Message tt00384)

Hello Pedro (and others)! I just wanted to make a brief comment. I 
guess we should remember that the TS had ran out of control... HPB 
was asked to leave adyar.. and then she created the London 
Lodge...apart from the TS, something that even Olcott could not 
undersant. 
I don't think the Master interfere in things of the world... and 
could get Leadbeatter to leave the TS. They can't interfere in the 
karma and free will of beings... only adapt circumstances in some 
cases.
Leadbeatter was at first, in my opinion, a good person... but as it 
is said... one in a thousand chelas are happy in their path.. have 
sucess... leadbeatter failed. he went into test and he couldn't 
beare, and his psychism and his ego were bigger than him. Alice 
Bailey is another who got into a trap... and lost the true 
conection...
if leadbeatter did something good at the beggining, whe can't approve 
the things he did after. After HPB's death he brought Besant to his 
own trap... and destroyed any potencial Krishnamurti could have with 
the master with his 'new christ talk'.
Well...i guess that is all
There 's a good book about this matter..
Alice Cleather's book "Blavatsky the great betrayal"

best regards
