Re: Theos-World Re: The Clairvoyants on Krishnamurti?

I have searched for the website in the past but could never find it - not even a link from Sydney TS. Perhaps you can send the address to me. I didn't even realise there were tuesday evening talks. I know I should make the effort to come to the sunday lectures but tend to spend sundays, weather permitting, in the garden. I was a member up until 5 years ago and then out of the blue I stopped receiving all correspondence and hence my membership fell.

Joe is Joe Butchko - I spoke to the librarian a few months back (tried to donate my Leadbeater/Besant library but no response) and she told me that Joe was still alive and well.

Cheers
Cass

My last Sunday talk 'Blavatsky & Krishnamurti - an Odd Couple' was well attended, lively & recorded. Maybe they can put it on the web.

The lecture on "Spiritual and Temporal Authority" was very important , although I will have to disagree with it to a certain extend. A influence which have not changed much since that structural change occured. A change in opposition to the Masters and HPB's stance in 1888. So I am right now wondering why that change was necessary?

>> >> "Spiritual and Temporal Authority"
>> >> "And the Society grew, became more numerous, and spread in many lands; and naturally as it spread, many of these ties somewhat weakened so far as the Society, as a whole, was concernedÃÂÃâÂ"not weakened with individuals, but somewhat weakened with the Body at large. And so things went on and on, until the Society passed through the same stage through which humanity had passed when the Priest-Kings entirely disappeared, and when those words were spoken by one of the Great Ones: "The Society has liberated itself from our grasp and influence, and we have let it go; we make no unwilling slaves.... Out of the three Objects the second alone is attended to; it is no longer[108] either a Brotherhood, nor a body over the face of which broods the Spirit from beyond the Great Range." And when that time was well established a change was made in the organisation of the Society. It was no longer, so to speak, one and indivisible, but two parts were
>> madeÃÂÃâÂ"Exoteric and Esoteric; and, as you know, for some time the Colonel fought against that, thinking it meant an unwise and dangerous division of authority in the Society, until, as he was coming over here with his mind in opposition to the proposal that H.P.B. should form the Esoteric Section, he received, on board the steamer on which he travelled, a letter from his Master telling him to carry out what H.P.B. wished; and, ever obedient as he was, for when his Master spoke he knew no hesitation, when he arrived here in England he did what he had been told, and authorised the formation of what was then called the Esoteric Section of the Theosophical Society. You can read all this for yourselves; it is all in print. Then came that distinct cleavage of Exoteric and EsotericÃÂÃâÂ"the two heads, H. S. Olcott and H.P.B., one wielding the temporal and the other the spiritual authority in the Society. It meant that the Society had ceased to
 be the
>> spiritual vehicle it was in the earlier days. It meant, as was printed at that time, that some of the members wished to carry on the Society on its original lines, and so they formed themselves into this Section under her, on the original lines. So it went on, like that time in the history of humanity, in order that certain faculties might grow and become strong, and that the spiritual side for a time might seem apart, and the other might go its own way unruled. Many difficulties grew[109] out of it, but still they were not insuperableÃÂÃâÂ"a certain clashing of authorities from time to time, and certain jealousy between the one and the other. These things were the inevitable concomitants of the separation, of the differences between the spiritual and temporal sides, the Spirit and the body, as it were. So things went on until the President passed away. When H.P.B. left us, she left me in charge of her work, as her colleague did in AdÃÅÃÂyar
 lately,
>> thus uniting again the two powers, the two authorities, in a single person.
>> >> Now, what does it mean to the Society? That is the question for us. What is it to bring forth in our Movement? Ill or well? It is only possible, at this beginning of the road, to point out the two things that may happen. For the Society and its President together will have to settle which of the two shall come. It may be that They, who from behind look on, may foresee what is coming; or it may be, as it often is, that They also are not able completely to say what shall come out of the clashing wills of men, differing views, possible antagonisms. Two possibilities there clearly are before us, either of which, I suggest, may come. For you and for me it is to decide which shall come. And I can only tell you how it seems to me, and you must judge and act as you think right. For at last our Society, like humanity, has reached the point when the individual must do his duty, and must no longer be a child guided entirely from without, but a man with the God
>> within co-operating with the God without. Hence it is not a question for any to decide for us: we have to decide it for ourselves. And as I say, I can only put to you what seem to me the two possibilities. Let[110] me take the bad possibility first. It may be that I, in whose hands these two powers now are placed, shall prove too weak to bear that burden, too blind to walk along that difficult path. It may be that I shall err on the one side or on the other, either making the Society too exoteric and empty, a material thing, or, on the other hand, pressing too far the spiritual side, with all that that means. It may be that the task is too great, and that the time has not come. I recognise that as possible; for in all questions of peoples, persons, and times, experiments may be made which it is known will fail, in order that out of the failure fresh wisdom may be gathered, and it may be that this shall be a failure. And if so it matters not, for out of
>> that failure some higher good will spring. That is the conviction of those who know that the Self is ever in us, and that the Self can never perish; so that it matters not what catastrophe may come, provided faith in the Self remains secure with His endless possibilities of recovery, and greater powers of manifestation. And it may quite well be that, in hands as weak and knowledge as limited as mine, failure will meet this great experiment which the Masters are making, and that we shall find that neither President nor Society is fit to take that step forward, are both still too childish, not sufficiently mature, and therefore not able to tread the path which is the path upwards to the spiritual life, when the organisation shall again become but the mere outside veiling of the spiritual life, carrying the message of regeneration to the world, and the birth of a new civilisation. That is one possibility that should be faced. And the other?[111]
>> >> 
>> >> The other is that we may permit the Great Ones to be sufficiently in touch with our little selves to send Their forces through us, and that Their life shall become the life of the Society; that out of this rejoining of spiritual and temporal a greater spirituality shall circulate in every vein and vessel of the Society, and it shall become again truly a vehicle of the Masters of the Wisdom. It may be that it is preparing for a greater and a nobler life, making the place ready for some greater one to come, who shall worthily and strongly wield the power that I am bound to wield too weakly, but yet, perhaps, strongly enough to make that preparation possible. Perhaps you and I together are strong enough and wise enough to till the field, where another shall sow the seed that shall grow up into a greater civilisation and mark a step forward in the history of humanity. That is our great opportunity, that the possibility that I see opening before us in
 this
>> policy now changed for the second time. It may be that we have learned enough in the last eighteen years to tread this path rightly, to tread it sufficiently to prepare a field for a greater one to come; and that is the hope in which I live at the present time. I believe that it is possible, if only we can rise to the height of our great opportunity, that someone will come from the far-off land where greater than we are living, and take this instrument and make it fit to be a tool in a Master's handÃÂÃâÂ"some Disciple greater and mightier than I, someone belonging to the same company, but far wiser and far stronger than I. And that such a one will take this Movement and make it a little more what the heart of the Masters desiresÃÂÃâÂ"more truly a Brotherhood, more full of knowledge, more[112] really linked to the higher worlds by a centre of wise OccultismÃÂÃâÂ"that seems to me the great possibility which is opening before us. But,
 as I said, I know not
>> if we are great enough to take it, or are still too small; but it is to that great work that I would invite your co-operation; it is to that mighty task that I would ask you to address yourselves. At least believe in the possibility of it; at least raise your eyes to that great stature to which it may be our Society shall attain. For if we can rise to it, then it means that we shall be builders of the next civilisation, that our hands shall take part in the making of the foundation of the humanity that is still to be born; it means that we shall be its forerunners, its heralds, that we shall be the messengers whose feet shall be fair upon the mountains, telling of the coming of a greater man, of the birth of a more spiritual humanity. And even supposing that, accepting that ideal, we fail, supposing that we are not strong enough, and wise enough, and unselfish enough, to do it, then, thenÃÂÃâÂ"if I may quote the words of Giordano
 BrunoÃÂÃâÂ""It is

A World Teacher not creating more impact than an average philosopher from India, who travels to Western countries, can hardly be called a World Teacher, but aught rather to be called an Exclusive "Secterian", who rejected the thought of comparative studying to create peace and end the strifes between the worlds religions on Earth. Even Vivekananda did a better job on that in his day. Please do not misunderstand me, I and others do hold the view and knowledge that meditation, PROVIDED it is understood correctly will lead the Seekers after Truth in the proper direction, but we do not teach the WHOLE world meditation, when they need something else before they will appreciate real occult meditation and not the superficial one, which is almost the same a the Christian dogmatic lip-prayer services towards a physical World Teacher of own their choosning.

Nisagardatta famously said that a fact is "an event in awareness unstained by desire or fear". My experience is that I rarely enjoy such unstained moments - hence my opinions, no matter how well researched usually turn out to be wrong or sometimes half right i.e. also half wrong.

Question remains for many: What's the overarching, most plausible hypothesis to explain most, if not all, facts? It's up to us to develop the most plausible ones and debate the pros and cons. In the process we can get somewhat hardened or passionate, some more than others, but that comes with debate on profound spiritual issues. And of course, if one has soaked up enough HPB and got a taste for her polemics, one might emulate her rhetorical style.

Two were boys who lived with him & denyed any impropriety; another was a very senior Australian Public servant who was fascinated by his theosophical teaching but who constantly had to remind himself that Leadbeater was essentially a 19th century Englishman whose conditioning was very different from his own; as both are from mine and mine from young people today. e.g. He used this insight to help him interpret Leadbeater's description of K's initiation in 'Masters & the Path'. Another woman of the same era could not stand the man. I try and suspend judgement. I don't know & I don't have to know. HPB praised awareness of one's own ignorance as necessary before one begins the quest for the Voice of the Silence. In spite of my conditioning I try to 'know that I don't know'.
