Dear Friends, 
 
         THE ?RED PLANET? REVEALED? The paragraphs below, by C. W. Leadbeater, illustrate the  extraordinary gift he had  as  a clairvoyant  of imaginary things. 
         In the early 20th century, Leadbeater used his many occult talents to announce to the world that Jiddu Krishnamurti was,  in fact, ?Lord Christ?, and that he would end all wars and establish peace on earth. The Second Coming of Christ  was the reason for the ?theosophical? creation of the Liberal Catholic Church. Such a Church is even now especially influential among Adyar theosophists in the USA.    
         An imaginative clairvoyant, Mr. C. W. Leadbeater is the main responsible ? together with his protégé Annie Besant ? for the many other clairvoyant descriptions and informations which were the basis and foundation for the creation of a shadow, unofficial, ritualistic power-structure in the theosophical Society, Adyar.  These ?inner? structures try to materialize a masonic order, besides sustaining a ?liberal? Catholic Church, etcetara.  I will leave the discussion  of ?etcetara? for some future occasion.  
         I  put before you now a description of things that the NASA never saw. (The title of the text belongs to its clairvoyant author.)
 
Best  regards,  Carlos.

MARS AND ITS INHABITANTS
 
 By Charles W. Leadbeater  
 
 
         The present  condition of the planet Mars is by no means unpleasant (...). 
         The present population (...) find plenty of room for themselves to live without  great effort, in the equatorial lands, where the temperature is highest and there is no difficulty as to water.  The great  system of canals which has been observed by terrestrial astronomers was constructed  by the second order of moon-men when they last occupied the planet, and its general scheme is to take advantage of the annual melting of enormous masses of ice at the outer fringe of the polar snow-caps.  It has been observed that some of the canals are double, but the double line is only occasionally apparent; that is due to the f ore-thought of the Martian engineers. The country is on the whole level, and they had great dread of inundations; and wherever they thought  that there was reason to fear too great an outrush of water under exceptional circumstances the second parallel canal was  constructed to receive  any possible overflow and carry it away safely.
         The actual canals are not visible to terrestrial telescopes; what is seen is the belt of verdure which appears in a tract of  country on each side of  the canal only at the time when the  water pours in.  Just as Egypt exists just because of the Nile, so do large districts  on Mars exist only because of t hese canals. (...) 
         (...) In physical appearance the Martians are not unlike ourselves, except that they are considerably smaller.  The tallest men are not above five feet in height and the majority are two or three  inches shorter. According to our ideas they  are somewhat  broad in proportions, having very great chest capacity ?  a  fact which may possibly be due to the rarity of the air and the consequent necessity of deep breathing in order fully to oxygenate the blood.  (...)

(Bibliographical commentaries: This is from the book ?Inner Life?, by C. W. Leadbeater, Section Ten. Published  by the magazine ?Theosophical History?, London, January 1988, see pages 143-144 for the sentences quoted above. The text takes several pages. I also have the same text in the Spanish edition of ?Inner Life?, by CWL,  published in Buenos Aires by Editorial Glem. A Brazilian edition of the book ?The Solar System?, by Mr. Arthur Powell ? a follower of C.W.L.?s ?  can still be bought in Brazil with this description of physical life on Mars. Another author and leading Adyar clairvoyant, Mr. Geoffrey Hodson,  followed the same track at least up to the 1950s. Yet in later years the USA TPH editions of the book ?Inner Life?, by C.W.L., have silently eliminated this description,  as well as the brief but astonishing description of physical life on Mercury.
