Theos-Talk Archives (December 2006 Message tt00196)

The word 'theosophist' can be used strictu sensu,  or latu sensu. 

Strict sensu theosophist is one who relates to modern theosophical movement.  Latu sensu theosophists don't necessarily.  Yet there is an occult link among most theosophists of any age and  culture, strictu sensu or latu sensu: they know about the law of karma; about reincarnation; and they usually teach about it and  about Ethics.  

Krishnamurti never claimed to be an Avatar, and he never denied it, either. He should have denied it,  in order to be more sincere with his own public. Truthfulness is inescapable,  in the spiritual path.

Besides, he was not an Avatar, as that was a 'production' made be Leadbeater. I wonder why Krishnamurti never said he was not Lord Christ. He should have done so... in order to be more honest and sincere, shouldn't he?

Jesus (by the way was he a Theosophist?) when he said, turn the other cheek, perhaps was implying that when Karma comes along accept it graciously and without prejudice? Discipleship is not strictly limited to Theosophy. K never claimed to be an Avatar (Annie Besant and Leadbeater did-not him). I imagine that he never said he was Lord Christ, because he knew he wasn't (more wishful thinking of Besant and Leadbeater).
