Mr Carlos,
Thank you for your response. I am not sure when Leadbeater asked you
or anyone else to believe what he said. He ceratinly has not had the
chance to ask me to believe what he claims to know. Neither do I ask
you to believe what I say. However, surely you do not question his
right (or mine) to make such claims and express our opinions as well
as our 'knowledge' about any matter, including life on Mars.
In my last post, I gave you quite a plausible explanation how
Leadbeater may have seen life on Mars. Unfortunately, not being as
spiritually advanced as him, I am unable to verify for myself the
truth of his statements (by travelling to Mars consciously in the
astral plane) - I am assuming you have the same problem (Yes, Mr
Carlos, it take spiritually advancement to achieve such siddhis, no
amount of intellectual prowess will do it for you).
In any case, you must grant after reading my explanation, that there
is still a small chance (1% chance? 0.01% chance?) that Leadbeater
may be proven to be correct about Mars after all.
As for Adyar, HIDING the texts about mars - it is obvious that they
did it out of fear of ridicule (such as yours). I, on the other hand,
have no such fear (mainly because I don't pass myself off, as some
sort of theosophical scholar). However, I think, the people who act
out of fear of ridicule are easier to forgive than those who indulge
in such ridicule themselves.
Incidentally, I recently created a webpage (very timely it looks
like) about different kinds of theosophists - you fit into one of
the types rather well (you may want to look at the page
http://www.sentforlife.com/theosophy.html ). And by the way, I am
well aware of the 1925 incident when the 'Arhat' announcement was
made, I have mentioned it in my webpage (near the bottom of the
page), if you care to read it.
Regards,
Dave
