MORE ON CLAIMS
Nov 02, 2006 06:34 AM

Friends,
I do not remember HPB "claiming" anything. Or Crosbie. Or the ULT.
It was A. Besant who presented herself as an Adept -- HPB rarely or never stated that she was even a "Initiate".
It was C.W. Leadbeater who claimed he had several initiations, visited Mars and Mercury and talked to "Mr.Christ" nearly every week. And this is in the Adyar literature -- with good sources!
It was Besant and CWL who claimed Krishnamurti was the new Messiah, etc.
It is the Coulombs who claimed HPB "claimed" this or that. It is the Coulomb and Soloviof publicizers who 'claim' that Crosbie 'claimed' this or that.
Regards, Carlos.
