“While it is yet time, both the founders of the Theosophical Society place upon record their solemn promise that they will let trance mediums severely alone after they get to “the other side.” If after this, any of the talking fraternity take their names in vain, they hope that at least their theosophical confrères will unearth this paragraph and warn the trespassers off their astral premises."

Bruce's article about KT as a "medium" was the
first article from him and in Fohat about which I
went angry.
But self-evedently one cannot expect to agree with
all articles...
I do not believe that KT was a medium in the
spiritistic sense of the word.
Perhaps Hargrove did not understand the higher
occult training she underwent.
Take f.e. the states oracle of the Dalai Lama. He
has the highest respect for him and followed the
oracle's decision in 1959 to flee.
In his autobiography he decribes that the orcale
get's in trance and is not conscious then.
And as HPB is quoted as proof against KT:
I did not find in HPB's words a single sentence
which would proof KT wrong.
All I find in HPB is that she is against
contacting the lower selfs of deads on their way
to kama loka.
But neither Judge nor KT ever claimed to have been
contacted the lower self of HPB.

In the latest issue of FOHAT, there
is an article titled
"Trance Mediums and William Q. Judge"
by Robert Bruce MacDonald (Spring 2005,
pp. 7-10, 20-22)
It will be interesting to see if
other Theosophical students respond to
some of the assertions made in this
article.
I'm wondering if Jerry Hejka-Ekins & W.Dallas
TenBroeck will respond to this article either
in letters to the Editor or in postings here
at Theos-Talk.
Some of the speculations in this article
strike me as of the same character as much
of the speculation in K. Paul Johnson's
three books on Blavatsky and the Masters.
