Theos-Talk Archives (July 2007 Message tt00313)

You are right Frank, but he (Krishnamurti) teaches us about ourselves, and that is the first step on the road to theosophy.

          If K attacked the mayavic Masters of Besant's and Leadbeater's striving for power, then he is a good man and has developed power of discrimination.
Then he helds the same position as HPB, when she wrote to Franz Hartmann about the vivid phantasy of Olcott abou the Masters.
>From that point of view, K is a healing medicine for an occult illness at Adyar, but that does not mean that one should accept K on a general basis as he teaches not theosophy.

Subject: Re: Theos-World was promotion of Krishnamurti's teaching a big mistake

Dear Cass
You write, "My personal opinion is that Krishnamurti saw the 
corruption in the TS and wanted no part of it."

Yes indeed. Moreover when he utterred the famous words "The Masters 
are poison" he was referring to the "masters" created by Bishop 
Leadbeater and Dr Besant.

Kind regards
Nigel

take those souls that glimmer. HPB was the best of a bad bunch but 
capable of doing what the world needed at that time.

initial step is taken, i.e. control of our ego selves, we will never 
reach higher conscious awareness.

religions, and to uncover, to some extent, the fundamental unity from 
which they all spring; finally, to show that the occult side of 
Nature has never been approached by the Science of modern 
civilization" the two teachings parallel each other.
