I make your words, mine.
Open mind is the first thing we ought to bear in mind when studying any philosophy.
Curiously, man can transform any belief into a religion.
I just wonder how would all things be if Krishnamurti didnīt split with the movement and really become its head ,just like Leadbeater expected and managed to.
Theosophy would probably be considered , turned into an organized religion, with all the pomp it needed.
>From sacraments - under the guide of a Mahachohan - to very complicated rituals...oh God.
Just my view, of course.

All these "facts" presented by Amand Gholap are nothing more than personal 
opinions -- conditioned by his own prejudicial biases, beliefs and convictions 
-- that have been refuted over and over again by the Masters and others. When 
will he wake up and see things as they really are?   

The real nature of reality can never be written down. This includes bothHPB 
and CWL who saw the fundamental ontological basis of reality from their own 
individually personal points of view which incorporated their own particular 
emotional and mental biases which was also conditioned by their educationand 
the times and societies they lived in.   

Therefore, neither of them could explain -- if we take their dead lettersat 
their face value -- the true nature of occult reality that would be consistent 
with each other. Nevertheless Blavatsky gave it out first in its entirely, 
and taught it to both Besant and Leadbeater -- who then reinterpreted it based 
on their personal biases toward the Christian religion that they were co
nditioned into believing since birth. Blavatsky pushed it in the opposite 
direction because she was conditioned to hate the Jesuits and Catholicismand thus was 
biased against all organized religions of a personal God nature. Thus all 
their inner visions are questionable. As for fundamental reality and its 
metaphysical ontology, that has never changed. And has its basis in fundamental 
truths that go beyond any written interpretation.  

That's why HPB said, when not so conditioned, that the real occult 
ontological truth is hidden "in and around the words and between the lines," and only 
through our own intuition and self devised study and practice, could we ever 
truly understand it in its entirely. Thus we each have to find that truthfor 
ourselves, and cannot be stuck in the dead letter writings of either HPB or CWL.  

The problem here is that Amand is as much a "dead letter" Leadbeater 
fundamentalist as those who read the Secret Doctrine in its dead letter are Blavatsky 
fundamentalists.  

The true occultists/theosophists are neither. And take what they know tobe 
the truth from their own inner intuitive understanding -- based on a 
comprehensive study of all the writings and interpretations, so as to compare them, 
cull out the inconsistencies and arrive at the "golden mean" of absolute truth 
through their own direct inner visionary experience -- without any biasesor 
prejudices that come from the conditioning of their lower natures. 

Enough said.
