Theos-Talk Archives (February 2006 Message tt00700)

Dear Hauw,

The inner circles in existence include aspirants to discipleship, with no 
claims as to occult status like discipleship and so on.

Such claims, as to Adyar Society, have been quietly  abandoned  from N. Sri 
Rams's time, in the
early 1950s.

Thus ended the period of official and crazy fancies inaugurated after HPB 
left her physical  body.

Also in the Adyar Society, Geoffrey Hodson claimed  (yet not in a noisy way) 
to be in direct contact with the Masters,  very much in the CWL's  fancy 
tradition. But it was no too expressive internationally.   Hodson died in 
the late 1980s.

As long as I know, the Esoteric School of the Pasadena TS was dissolved by 
mid-century.

Apart from any physical plane offices or groups,  the true esoteric school 
has existed for thousands of years.  It never closes.

One's Monad, Atma-Buddhi, Buddhi-Manas,  Higher Self can have severral forms 
of contact with it, sometimes quite unconsciously, as was the classical case 
of D.M. Bennett, which is commented by the Mahatmas in their Letters to 
Sinnett.

As one Master wrote (and I quote the idea, not the words):   "every small 
light in the dark valley is easily seen from the white snow-covered peak of 
the mountain..."

So dropping pseudol-theosophical  fancies and studying real theosophy can 
reveal a true opportunity before eranest students.


Best regards, Carlos Cardoso Aveline
