Since the Masters knew what problems resulted from the revealing of 
their names by their first messenger (HPB) -- do you think they (or 
their successors) would make the same mistake again when the new 
messenger begins the new mission?

And, by all the rules set down by the Masters (and promulgated 
through HPB) -- wouldn't the actual work on that mission have to 
begin in I975 by someone already mature in the practical ways of the 
modern world, fully educated and experienced in ALL the fine and 
applied arts of current science, engineering and all levels of high 
technology communication -- while also being fully indoctrinated with 
the theosophical teachings -- to at least the beginning of adeptship 
-- as was HPB when she began her mission in 1875?

And, wouldn't all the occult powers -- that also attracted hordes of 
superficial sycophants and resulted in many fraudulent copycats 
during and after HPB's time -- be intentionally withheld from their 
new agent (such as the power of foresight and other siddhis was 
withheld from HPB)?

Obviously, of course, none of the present Masters would ever reveal 
themselves, personally, or allow their messenger to expose their 
names this time around. There would also no longer be a need to 
attract members to the teachings through an organization, or to a 
notorious personality. .. Since all that now matters would be to 
prove the theosophical teachings beyond a shadow of a doubt, free 
each human to be their own judge and master, as well as discredit all 
forms of organized religion based on supernatural causation, personal 
Gods, vicarious atonement and living messiahs.
.
Think about all that, and try to imagine anyone in the Theosophical 
Society, or appointed by its leaders, being in a position to fill 
that role... Especially, anyone who is not fully indoctrinated into 
the entire secret doctrine -- as thoroughly taught by HPB in ALL her 
writings.

Didn't William Q. Judge say that there were only three books 
necessary to fully comprehend theosophy -- which were, the Secret 
Doctrine, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali? 
(Is it any wonder, then, why he transliterated all three -- along 
with their detailed commentaries and answers to questions?)

Isn't it, then, also obvious why the real identity of the messenger 
could not be revealed until the actual scientific "proof" of the 
Secret Doctrine metaphysics actually shows up in the scientific 
journals and the mass media, and becomes worldwide public knowledge? 
And, even then, the true messenger will not be known, since the 
accredited, peer reviewable physicists who win the prize for such a 
proof will never acknowledge who or what inspired them -- (as 
Einstein never would think of giving credit to HPB for his 
theories.;-) See:
http://leonmaurer. info/einstein. html

Only, then, will all true theosophists recognize the new teachings 
(with no need to make the retired messenger their leader) and rally 
together as true "companions" to form the nucleus of the "universal 
brotherhood" ... That, by their example, teaches the rest of the world 
the true meaning and practice of the Heart Doctrine of theosophy as 
the basis of *true* democratic government.. . With no need of a 
messiah and his hierarchical leadership, New World Order police state 
governments, personal gods, priests, or religious organizations.

Thus, anyone who claims to be the new messenger, world teacher, 
messiah, returned Christ, Maitreya, etc., before (or after) that 
time, would necessarily be an impostor (or false prophet). And, the 
biggest joke of all is the delusional idea that the "new message" 
will be in the form of a musical album, sung by the messiah himself ;-)

So, let's stop this endless speculative nonsense, and knuckle down to 
learning and teaching pure theosophy -- so we'll all be ready when 
that "new message" shows up... And, afterward, have no need for 
organizations or leaders to tell us how to act (as one) in whatever 
way is necessary to turn this world back into the paradise it was 
meant to be.

Best wishes,
Leon Maurer
