Dear Friends,
In May 1923, the Australian theosophical journal ?Dawn? wrote this about Charles W. Leadbeater (p. 15) :
?His psychopathic tendencies get him into trouble, but the dear devoted souls rally round him again and again, fighting heroically for a bad cause ..... He has a Rasputin-like influence over boys and old women who, when his vileness is exposed, shout ?Judge not.... be tolerant?...... He binds his dupes with the old charm of priescraft and ceremonial magic.? (1)
Yet Leadbeater cleverly managed to lead the police investigations about him into an absence of results.
His irrational protection, promoted by devoted soldiers of a bad cause, still goes on, to a certain extent.
?Judge not!? they say.
Carlos.
