Theos-Talk Archives (April 2011 Message tt00115)

Dear friends,

The current of letters to the president of Adyar Theosophical Society
continues uniting more and more students, asking that justice be done to
one of the original founders of the Theosophical Society, William Judge.

Below you can read one of several letters sent from Brazil.




Best regards, Joaquim

Mrs. Radha Burnier

International President,

The Theosophical Society,
Adyar, Chennai 600 020
India

                                                                                                      
Brasília, April 13th, 2011.



Dear Ms. Burnier,





Greetings from Brazil.



The present letter deals with the subject of serendipity or the emerging
of good karma.



Each day is a new day.  Every aspect of life is always new, provided
that we remain free from naïve attachment to past events.



The following paragraphs aim therefore at submitting to you an entirely
new idea: that you might take action to help correct the existing
injustice towards William Q. Judge.



This is only the sixth time in five years that students from various
countries and theosophical associations write to you about the topic. In
historical time, half a decade is but an instant. It might be compared
to the fraction of a second. Yet, even in such a short time a limited
but solid progress was made in the direction of a "pan-theosophical
dialogue", a respectful and frank exchange of views among people
belonging to different theosophical associations, or to none of them, on
issues dealing with the past and future of the movement.



The chain of letters to India has started to become more than a yearly
celebration of William Judge's life and work.



Writing to the president of the Adyar Society is a way to reflect upon
and strengthen the unity of the theosophical movement as a whole.



Just as the politically motivated persecution against Judge in 1894-1895
provoked the first formal split in the theosophical movement, a calm and
philosophical examination of that mistake will provide a key to
understanding the Dynamic Unity of the movement, in the present as in
the future.



Once karma is ready, change can occur in many different forms according
to circumstances. Karmic adjustments cannot be avoided.  If one form of
renewal is blocked, another one emerges. You are an honest person, and
everyone owes you respect. You are also human.  Except for a short
letter to me by the middle of 2004, you have avoided any clear statement
in defense of H. P. Blavatsky, although you know the main founder of the
movement has been subreptitiously and gravely slandered by dr. John
Algeo and the USA-TPH since December 2003.



In 2006 and 2007, you wrote a few kind letters answering with a
"No" to requests from various countries asking you to reopen and
reconsider the so-called "Besant's Case Against Judge".



Perhaps it was not a coincidence that, soon after such an omission in
defending the truth about two of the three founders, you had to face an
electoral coup d'etat organized by your very same vice-president,
Dr. John Algeo of the TPH-USA.



The main tactics of Dr. Algeo's followers, in their failed attempt
to "win" the international election in 2008, was spreading false
statements about your physical health. The method was rather similar to
the one previously used against HPB.



The 2007-2010 crisis should therefore not be seen as an isolated event,
or as something unrelated to the karma of the movement.  It does more
than revealing the level of ethics of some of your colleagues at that
time.



It might be seen as a wake up call to everyone. It could be a sign among
others that the whole movement, not only Adyar, needs an ethical
renewal, and that ethics towards our Founders, including H.P. Blavatsky
and William Judge, is present at the very foundation of the brotherhood
and truthfulness we need in this century;  a century whose number,
H.P.B. warned,  equals three times seven.



It will be no secret to you that the theosophical movement must have an
aura, and that the living center of that aura is made by the skandhas
given to the movement by its main founders.  You and many others among
us all are aware of the fact that the movement has several levels of
action and being. It is indeed septenary. Its lasting and occult
structure was built through the self-sacrifice and efforts of the
Founders, while they were working in close cooperation with Masters of
the Wisdom.  Masters themselves also contributed to the building of such
a Central Aura during the formative years of the movement.



It is possible that no attempt to deny that central magnetic field -
whether "masonic" or "liberal catholic" - will be able
to last for ever.  Every unbiased student can see the nature of the
ritualistic "aura" created by Annie Besant after she decided to
ignore the 1900 Letter from a Master. I refer to the full text of the
1900 letter, addressed to Mrs. Besant, and only published during the
second half of the 1980s.



The ritualistic - if not popish - magnetic field created after 1900 is
but a secondary structure existing around the central aura, and
unfortunately feeding on it. It is therefore a happy circumstance that
it cannot and will not outlive its own cycle.



At the end of probationary periods, the Law of Justice opens room to
serendipity.



The 2007-2010 power crisis is another indication of the closing of a
mayavic cycle; but it is not the first one. It came less than one decade
after the crisis which caused the formal split in the "theosophical
masonry".



Pseudo-theosophical ritualism was fabricated at the beginning of the
20th century by Mrs. Besant and a false clairvoyant.  Beneath the
surface of appearances often absurd, in layers deeper than the
ill-informed pursuit of personal ambition, there may be a magnetic link
between the center of the aura of the movement and the conscience Duty
of sincere theosophists.



The karma and magnetism of the movement have their own tectonic layers,
and these can rearrange the surface of their crust as cycles of
falsehood end, and cycles of rebirth begin.



You are the seventh president of the Adyar Society, and everyone knows
what H.P.B. wrote about number seven in life and in the theosophical
movement, in two different articles. In theory, it is not impossible for
you to help clear the way back to those long-standing, deeper
foundations of the movement which were abandoned in the 1890s by your
Society during the persecution against William Judge.



Of course, a narrow-minded perspective would say that writing letters to
you on the topic of  Respect for Our Founders is an effort made
"against the Adyar Society".



Such an illusion could only emerge from a blind and bureaucratic feeling
of attachment to corporate organizations.



In fact, the idea of Justice to Judge and the effort around it
constitute a gift to your Society. The action is based upon the fact
that your Society is a living process, apt to respond, sooner or later,
to new realities and cycles. As we all know, Justice may take time, but
it doesn't fail.



Truth can often be seen and transmitted through small events. The humble
chain of letters about Justice to Judge  is a friendly initiative. It is
but putting at your disposal some of the lost elements of information
which are necessary for your Society to reconcile itself with its own
deeper Dharma.  Such a "dharmic" Duty is shared by Adyar with
those sectors of the theosophical movement which already know that
William Judge was one of its main founders, and are aware of the fact
that his books and articles have a unique value for truth-seekers in the
21st century.



It would be an illusion to think or to say that the Adyar Society is
unimportant.



It will be good for the theosophical movement to have a more quickly
awakening Adyar Society. You and every theosophist can take practical
steps in that direction. The movement is but one. It is undivided at the
occult plane, and you can take the initiative to accelerate its
liberation from some of its worst 20th century delusions, thus clearly
opening the door for a much better future.



In any case, you have, and you deserve, the sincere respect and
admiration of all.



Best regards,







Carlos Cardoso Aveline
