  Hi just our of interest this overshadowing that takes place, does the man invite the energy or does the energy choose the man? Just curious.

  My views are:

  In the following we learn that Geoffrey Hodson claimed that J. Krishnamurti stated - SEVERAL TIMES - that he was the Maitreya - World Teacher. What more do you want?

  AN APPRECIATION OF C. W. LEADBEATER By Geoffrey Hodson
  "As I have elsewhere written, I attended several of the Star Camps in Holland and
  was present when there was evidence of remarkable, if brief, supernormal
  manifestations. On more than one occasion some two thousand people from many
  parts of the world were gathered at Ommen to hear Krishnamurti. Each evening, all
  were seated in concentric circles round a large camp fire. Krishnamurti would arrive,
  take his place for a time, and then rise and apply a torch to the camp fire. As the
  flames arose against the evening sky he would chant a mantram to the god Agni, and
  return to his seat. Thereafter he would begin to speak, and on more than one occasion
  a noticeable change took place in him. His voice altered and his hitherto rather
  iconoclastic utterances gave way to a wonderful tenderness of expression and thought
  which induced in those present an elevation of consciousness. The Talks were
  followed by prolonged meditative silences. Many of those present, myself among
  them, bore testimony to the sense of divine peace which had descended, to a
  realization of the Presence of the Lord, and to an assurance that the prophecy had
  begun to be fulfilled.
  These phenomena occurred during some few successive years, the events being so
  marked that Krishnamurti himself thereafter changed the Objects of the Order of the
  Star in the East from, in effect, "To prepare for the coming of the Lord" to "To serve
  the World Teacher now that He is in our midst." I, myself, more than once heard
  Krishnamurti affirm that the great Teacher was now here and that the "Coming" had
  actually occurred. Even now when he is speaking, with others I discern a spiritual
  influence emanating from him, as if a great Being were still using him as a vehicle.
  This, however, does not constitute a complete fulfillment of the original prophecy. "
