P.S. You might consider editing the Wikipedia

I've already made one change myself. It stated 
that "all Theosophists"
believed that the "World Teacher" was coming. I 
changed it to "many
Theosophists."



Well done. The Point Loma Theosophists never 
believed in the World teacher poppycock of Adyar 
as they misunderstood (and still misunderstand?) 
the doctrine of tulku, messenger or divine envoy.
Only a few years ago it was clmained by Adyar 
member in this list that the Great Ones 
communicate directly with world men. It's 
therefore not surprizing that they believe that 
people like Besant, Sinnett, Leadbeater were in 
direct communication with the Masters! And that 
explain also the megalomania of that people and 
also their jealousy against the rightful messenger 
such as Damodar of Judge.

Besant believed self-fulfilling that she was in 
direct (but nevertheless passive) communication 
without the background help of either HPB or WQJ. 
As they lived only in their lower manas they did 
not understand that.
Besant did not even understand when she was 
teached. She did not even understand when Judge 
demonstrated his occult standing on the E.S. 
meeting in Boston, where he showed the thousands 
of E.S. delegates his tulku body.

For a better understanding of the World teacher 
case - which is directly connected with the 
doctrine of messengers in both higher Buddhism and 
higher Theosophy - Katherine Tingley's book "The 
Mysteries of the Heart Doctrine" may be helpful 
and gives first hand information.
The poppycock speculations online on that topic 
http://blavatskyarchives.com/latermessengers.htm 
also proof that the mass of Theosophists even 
today does not understand what a world teacher, a 
messenger, a tulku, a Leader, an Outer Head, a 
helper of mankind, a paraclet is.

As with the higher doctrine of the inner and outer 
rounds it seems that also no discrimination and 
understanding about inner and outer messengers in 
the Theosophical Movement exists. It seems that 
the various theosophical schools should also be 
classified in Mahayana Theosophy (complete 
vehicle) and in Hinayana Theosophy (defective 
vehicle).
