Theos-Talk Archives (September 2006 Message tt00259)

Friends,

I have to agree with Daniel's viewpoint by the end of his posting below. 

The 1900 Letter clearly expressed  what would be the means of inspiration and upliftment of the movement from that moment. 

That way of contact had already been in operation since 1891, and it is indeed  a key hint for us and for future generations of students. 

 
The Master says in that letter: 

“AT FAVOURABLE TIMES  WE LET LOOSE ELEVATING INFLUENCES WHICH STRIKE VARIOUS PERSONS IN VARIOUS WAYS.   IT IS THE COLLECTIVE ASPECT OF MANY SUCH THOUGHTS THAT CAN  GIVE THE CORRECT NOTE OF ACTION.” (1) 

This is a most meaningful  statement.  

The History  of the movement since 1900 has confrmed it is accurate. It implies communications are NOT verbal, not literal; they are Budhic, and Buddhi-Manasic, at a non-verbal, abstract, subtle level.

>From 1900, all attempts to "channel" the Masters failed -- and these attempts created the most embarassing episodes in the History the movement. 

Contact is available -- through one's own Monad and Sixth Principle. It is not visual or verbal. It is not "personal".  Realizing this, common sense prevails. 


Regards,   Carlos.

Assunto:Theos-World Claims of being in Contact with H.P.B.'s Masters

> In 1884, the Theosophist A.P. Sinnett, who was the major recipient 
> of "The Mahatma Letters," believed he was in contact with the Master 
> Koot Hoomi, INDEPENDENT of H.P.B. acting as mediator. 
> 
> Sinnett wrote in his book "The Early Days of Theosophy": 
> 
> "About this time [early July 1884] Mrs. Holloway, a wonderfully 
> gifted American psychic came to stay with us. . . . .She used to get 
> vivid clairvoyant visions of the Master [Koot Hoomi], - could pass 
> on messages to me from K.H. and on one occasion he actually made use 
> of her to speak to me in the first person." p. 27 
> 
> But the Master K.H. (in a letter received by Mr. Sinnett on July 18, 
> 1884) pronounced Sinnett's claim FALSE and UNTRUE: 
> 
> "You ask me if you can tell Miss Arundale what I told you thro' Mrs. 
> H[olloway]. . . . . .[But] I have never . . . communicated with you 
> or any one else thro' her. . . . . She is an excellent but quite 
> undeveloped clairvoyante. . . . ." The Mahatma Letters, 2nd ed., p. 
> 355 
> 
> During this same summer, Master KH wrote to Mrs. Holloway:
> 
> "Your vivid creative fancy [imagination] evokes illusive Gurus and 
> chelas, and puts into their mouths words coined the instant before 
> in the mint of your mind, unknown to yourself. The false appear as 
> real, as the true, and you have no exact method of detection since 
> you are yet prone to force your communications to agree with your 
> preconceptions. . . . " "Mrs. Holloway and the Mahatmas," Letter 17.
> 
> Despite this emphatic denial by K.H., Sinnett persisted in searching 
> for another "channel" to the Master INDEPENDENT of H.P.B. 
> 
> In "The Autobiography of Alfred Percy Sinnett," he wrote: 
> 
> "On the 26th of April 1886. . . we went . . . to the Albemarle 
> Club . . . to meet a lady who was . . . desirous of making my

> or remarks." pp 33 & 38-39 
> 
> Again Master KH in a letter (dated August 22, 1888) to Colonel Henry 
> S. Olcott DENIED Sinnett's claim: 
> 
> "Since 1885 I have not written, nor caused to be written save thro' 
> her [HPB's] agency, direct or remote, a letter or line to anybody in

> 
> Mr. Sinnett also ignored this warning preferring to believe that he

> 
> After H.P. Blavatsky's death in 1891, numerous other individuals
