Theos-Talk Archives (January 2005 Message tt01079)

Dear Perry
My understanding of the Lord Maitreya is that it is pure spirit, and only incarnates for a few years in a body. The body of Jesus was used (his spiritual faculties held in abeyance) by Maitreya for 3 years, from Jesus' age of 30 to 33. These years were used by Maitreya to bring a new understanding of religion to mankind. I believe CWL and AB believed that Krishnamurti would be the body that Maitreya would use, hence the need for purity at all levels. So I do not see how the Lord Maitreya would have been available to edit something as trivial as this. Maitreya has taken the 7th initiation and is line with a Manu of a new race. My teachings say 
Silent Watcher 10th initiation
Lord of the World 9th initiation
Pratyeka Buddah 8th initiation
Manu 7th initiation
Chohan 6th initiation

I personally have problems with the Masters editing anything at a physical level. Why do this when they can source the information directly from the mind? My gut instinct tells me that some theosophists chose to namedrop the Masters to validate the new teachings.

I also have problems with the Masters, sending letters to students to advise them that they have been accepted as a disciple or a Chela's of a certain Master. My belief is that when the student is ready the Master is there, and that instruction can be given when we are out of our bodies, e.g. in sleep. The necessity to be in their presence is only required when the pupil has acquired a certain level on the path.

Some theosophists have made of the Masters, super-human men. The Masters have spiritual work to do in the world and I cannot see why they would spend their time writing to their disciples. HPB was insistent that her teachings came from a higher source than herself, and in order to validate this, reference to them was necessary, but that the masters would spend the last 100 years appearing and channelling their teachings through others, to me, is absurd.

Kuthumi and asked Him to be so kind as to read it over. He read it,
altered a word or two here and there, added some connecting and
explanatory notes and a few other sentences which I remembered having
heard Him speak to Mr. Krishnamurti. Then He said: "Yes, that seems
correct; that will do" ; but He added : "let us show it to the Lord
Maitreya." And so we went together,"

Masters & the Path p.175

Notice how the Master read over & "CORRECTED" this manuscript and then
showed it to the "Lord Maitreya" as well.

Why would the Mahatma's not have pointed out to Leadbeater(whom he
claims to be in such close personal contact with) that the teachings
he was puting in his textbooks and manuals as being the teachings of
the Adept Brotherhood actually didn't match with their own?
