Theos-Talk Archives (July 2007 Message tt00356)

I don't accept that Daniel.  I am not a male, but I presume when the sexual urge is aroused it is almost inherent to address that arousal with self touch.  Even babies do it.  My gut feeling is that Leadbeater got them to do it to him, why else would K call him evil?  Makes me want to puke thinking about it.

Krishnamurti case) he gave that advise, to half dozen of boys (If I 
remember well), without their parents knowing it, but only in the cases 
it was necessary and not as a general teaching. . . . 

I know the situation was delicate. Imagine Leadbeater trying to teach 
a child about masturbation, in a period with no sexual education in any 
sense. He probably had to show a bit the child how to do it. It's very
disgusting, I know, and I think his action was an error. But it'd had
been worst if he had showed it on himself!!!

I do hope that there are no Theosophical teachers out there TODAY 
showing a child "how to do it" ....
