Theos-Talk Archives (May 2005 Message tt00171)

Several years ago I asked Wes Amerman & other
ULT associates the following:

"I was also told by another 'well-placed' ULT 
associate that even the current ULT 'leaders' {LA} 
believe they are in contact with the Mahatmas.
About 15 years ago I was told by Walter Carrithers 
that he had discovered evidence to show that Robert 
Crosbie, John Garrigues and later 'leaders'
believed they were communicating with HPB, Judge, 
and the Mahatmas. Messages had been received from 
the 'Masters.' Several years later, I asked John
Cooper of Australia if he thought this was true 
and he confirmed everything Walter had originally 
told me and added more! I bring this all up because
of Jerome's remarks in his latest email. So I ask 
the group: are any of you willing to comment on 
these claims? These claims go against the public
persona the ULT tries to project."

Wes Amerman replied:

"ULT and Mahatmas: Somewhere, I have heard this 
rumor, but always second hand, never from anyone 
who stated it from first-hand experience.
Apparently, the axiom, 'those who know don't 
say, those who say don't know' holds true. Over 
the years among Theosophical groups there have 
been so many claims and counter-claims about 
letters, masters, ascended masters and
occult successors, that yet another such claim 
would hardly seem to be constructive."

"However, let me ask Daniel a question: Suppose 
YOU were the one who received a 'communication' 
from a Master, and you were convinced it was
genuine. What would YOU do? It seems to me 
you would have two choices: Tell others, and 
risk having them turn you into a 'guru' of some 
sort, or keep quiet about it! I'm not saying that 
is what happened here, but how would such a situation 
'go against the public persona the ULT tries to
project?"
