Theos-Talk Archives (June 2008 Message tt00044)

Ok and to further my question, this overshadowing, is it a one off thing so when it happens the man it happens to will be totally transformed without prior knowledge or will it happen in stages growing in strenght?

Please
Curiosty and all lol

 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. "
