Theos-Talk Archives (March 2005 Message tt00624)

Hi Daniel and Dallas
Of course KH was right.
Supposely it wasīnt any master that was talking to Sinnet bay Mrs Holloway or the so called "Mary". 
My POV is that Sinnet was a mere average man in his psychic conditions, although all the trading of posts between him and those Masters, he didnīt learn from what he even read and repplied in the letters.
Driven by curiosity he was still looking for other sources other than HPB and as it seemed he was owner of a great curiosity, 
He was doing what many enquirers sometimes do , crossing mediumnistic information from many sources.
It is a rubbish.
I have myself done it and confess that most of all the crap we hear from these psychic are not even worth comenting.
Claire prophet - Summit Lighthouse Org - for example claims herself the contemporary source and channel from the masters of wisdom and probably if AP Sinnet were still alive - under a natureīs miracle effect - he would of course be running after her!

The above question has gone unanswered.
The person to whom this was initially addressed
to apparently does not want to discuss the
underlying issues in a public forum.

Anyway, all serious students of Theosophy need to be
aware of these historical facts because the
underlying issues touch upon various Theosophical
teachings.

A.P. Sinnett wrote in his book "The Early Days
of Theosophy":

"About this time [early July 1884]
Mrs. Holloway, a wonderfully gifted
American psychic came to stay with us. . . . .
She used to get vivid clairvoyant visions
of the Master, - could pass on messages to
me from K.H. and on one occasion he actually
made use of her to speak to me in the first
person." p. 27

But the Master K.H. (in a letter received
July 18, 1884) pronounced Sinnett's claim
false and untrue. The Master wrote to Sinnett:

"You ask me if you can tell Miss Arundale
what I told you thro' Mrs. H[olloway]. . . . . .
[But] I have never . . . communicated with
you or any one else thro' her. . . . . She is
an excellent but quite undeveloped clairvoyante. . . . ." The
Mahatma Letters, 2nd ed., p. 355

Despite this emphatic denial by K.H., Sinnett persisted in searching
for another "channel" to the Master independent of H.P.B. In The
Autobiography of Alfred Percy Sinnett, he wrote:

"On the 26th of April 1886. . . we went . . . to the Albemarle
Club . . . to meet a lady who was . . . desirous of making my
acquaintance . . . . . I will give her a fictitious name and call
her Mary. . . . shortly afterwards I tried a mesmeric experiment
with her (in accordance with her wish) and obtained remarkable
results - she went very easily into a trance in which she became
unequivocally clairvoyant. . . .I became convinced that she
clairvoyantly saw the mountain region in Tibet where the Master K.H.
resided. . . . . It became obvious that Mary might become a link
between myself and the Master. . . . . Mary came to stay with
us . . . in February 1888 and our regular mesmeric sittings were
resumed almost every evening, the Master [KH] talking to me through
her in most cases. In this way I gathered a great deal of
miscellaneous occult information. . . . . Mary left us to go to her
own home in May 1888 having had mesmeric sitting almost every
evening while she was with us, at most of which the Master spoke to
me, - or rather dictated to her what he wished to say. She would
pass into a higher condition in which she could be in touch with him
and be enabled to repeat his words to her in reply to my questions
or remarks." pp 33 & 38-39

But again Master KH in a letter (dated August 22, 1888) to Colonel
Henry S. Olcott denied Sinnett's claim:

"Since 1885 I have not written, nor caused to be written save thro'
her [HPB's] agency, direct or remote, a letter or line to anybody in
Europe or America, nor communicated orally with, or thro' any third
party. Theosophists should learn it. You will understand later the
significance of this declaration so keep it in mind. Her [HPB's]
fidelity to our work being constant, and her sufferings having come
upon her thro' it, neither I nor either of my Brother associates
will desert or supplant her." Letters from the Masters of the
Wisdom, Series I, 1973, p. 45

Who do you believe: Sinnett or Koot Hoomi??
