RE: theos-talk Alice Bailey & H.P. Blavatsky on the Christ

"The Master K.H., being a Chohan and one of the senior Masters (ranking next to the Christ himself), can "walk into the courts of Shamballa" at will. Masters of my degree can only make contact with Shamballa at certain stated periods, and one of the goals of our training is to move steadily forward into a closer relationship with the Christ, and through him with the Lord of the World." DINA II, p 564
 
 
Christ in the KH Letters.
 
Our Maha (the "Chief") 
 
our highest CHIEF
our venerable Chief.
our Supreme Chief 
my venerated Chief
the Chohan has permitted me
KH speaking: the hitherto implacable Chohan my Master
the Chohan refused permission to M.
KH speaking: It is written with the special permission of the Chohan (my Master)
M speaing: Neither the Chohan, nor K.H., nor myself 
KH speaking: the hitherto implacable Chohan my Master

 
Here are the key references to Chohan and Maha Chohan from the KH letters. I think they were referring to the Christ 'their' Master, head of hierarchy, the 'venerable chief' referred to, i.e. *"the all powerful hand of our Chohan"* *the one elect*. JPC.


"Alas! by no means are we all "gods"; especially when you remember that since the palmy days of the "impressions" and "precipitations" -- "K.H." has been born into a new and higher light, and even that one, in no wise the most dazzling to be acquired on this earth. Verily the Light of Omniscience and infallible Prevision on this earth -- that shines only for the highest CHOHAN alone is yet far away from me! Letter 59. KH. 1883/4.
  
And because you recognise this great principle of personal observation, and are not slow to put into practice what you have acquired in the way of useful information, is perhaps the reason why the hitherto implacable Chohan my Master has finally permitted me to devote to a certain extent a portion of my time to the progress of the Eclectic. But I am but one and you are many, and none of my Fellow Brothers with the exception of M. will help me in this work, not even our semi-European Greek Brother who but a few days back remarked that when "every one of the Eclectics on the Hill will have become a Zetetic then will he see what he can do for them." And as you are aware there is very little hope for this. Yours sincerely, K.H. Letter 11. 1881.
 
H.P.B. is in despair: the Chohan refused permission to M. to let her come this year further than the Black Rock, and M. very coolly made her unpack her trunks. Try to console her, if you can. Yours, K. H. Letter No.17.
 
Neither the Chohan, nor K.H., nor myself ever under valued Mr. Hume's worth. He has done invaluable service to the Th. Soc. and to H.P.B. and is alone capable of making the Society an efficient agent for good. Letter 29. M.
 
Do you not realize that were it not for your exceptional intellect and the help to be derived therefrom the Chohan would have long ago closed every door of communication between us? Letter 35. KH.
 
And for that you have to remember that when K.H. shall say to you, Come up hither -- you should be ready. Otherwise *the all powerful hand of our Chohan" will appear once more between you and Him. Letter 42 M.
 
I was with the Chohan when I received the letter I now enclose, and -- the Chohan was perfectly disgusted, and called the whole thing the Tibetan name for "comedy." It is not that he is anxious to "do good" or "help the progress of the T.S." It is simply, believe me or not -- insatiable pride in him; a ferocious, intense desire to feel and show to others that he is the "one elect," that he knows that which all others are barely allowed to suspect. Do not protest for it is useless. We know, and you do not. Letter 50. 1882.
 
But D.K. would try and then went and begged permission to present it himself to Col. Chesney; a permission which was, as a matter of course, refused by the Chohan and he himself reprimanded. Letter 53. M.
 
Could you but work out this idea, I would submit it to our venerable Chohan, who now gently smiles from the corner of an eye, instead of frowning as usual -- ever since he saw you become President. Letter 54. KH.
 
They have pledged themselves -- (most of them) to me for life and death -- the copy of the pledge is in the hands of Maha-Chohan -- and I am bound to them. Letter 55. KH.
 
My dear friend: -- do not accuse me -- after having started it myself -- of indifference to, or oblivion of, our little speculation. The Chohan is not to be consulted every day on such "worldly" matters, and that is my excuse for the unavoidable delay. And now, I am permitted by my venerated Chief to convey to you a memorandum of His views and ideas upon the fortune and destinies of a certain paper upon which his foresight was asked by your humble friend and his servant. Putting them into business shape I have noted his views as follows... Yours sincerely, K.H. Letter 78. KH.
 
Your Review of the Perfect Way is more perfect than its author's conception. I thank you, my friend, for your good services. You are beginning to attract the Chohan's' attention. And if you only knew what significance that has, you would not be calculating to a nicety what reward you are entitled to for certain recent services mentioned. Yours affectionately, K. H. Letter 95.
 
Mahatma K. H. has received but never read his letter, for the simple reason that he was prevented by his promise to the Chohan never to read a letter from any theosophist until his return from his mission to China where he then was. This He condescended now to tell me to help to my justification, as he says. He had forbidden me most strictly to send him any more letters until further orders. Yours to the end H.P. Blavatsky. Letter No. 138.

The Work of the World Teacher, the Christ


Group two has the World Teacher for its presiding Head. He is that Great Being whom the Christian calls the Christ; he is known also in the Orient as the Bodhisattva, and as the Lord Maitreya, and is the one looked for by the devout Mohammedan, under the name of the Iman Madhi. He it is who has presided over the destinies of life since about 600 B.C. and he it is who has come out among men before, and who is again looked for. He is the great Lord of Love and of Compassion, just as his predecessor, the Buddha, was the Lord of Wisdom. Through him flows the energy of the second aspect, reaching him direct from the heart center of the Planetary Logos via the heart of Sanat Kumara. He works by means of a meditation centered within the heart. He is the World Teacher, the Master of the Masters, and the Instructor of the Angels, and to him is committed the guidance of the spiritual destinies of men, and the development of the realization within each human being that he is a child of God and a son of the Most High. IHS 44.


Bodhisattva. The exponent of second ray force, the Teacher of the Adepts of men and of Angels. This office was originally held by the Buddha, but His place was taken (after His Illumination) by the Christ. The work of the Bodhisattva is with the religions of the world, and with the spiritual Essence in Man. TCF 122. 


The line of the Bodhisattva is that of Love-wisdom, and of the detailed science of the soul; it is the teaching line and the path upon which an must eventually pass. TCF 198. 


He has been for two thousand years the supreme Head of the Church Invisible, the spiritual Hierarchy, composed of disciples of all faiths. He recognizes and loves those who are not Christian but who retain their allegiance to their Founders - the Buddha, Mohammed, and others. He cares not what the faith is, if the objective is love of God and of humanity. If men look for the Christ Who left His disciples centuries ago they will fail to recognize the Christ Who is in process of returning. The Christ has no religious barriers in His consciousness. It matters not to Him of what faith a man may call himself. EXT 612. 


Esotericists, occult students, Rosicrucians and Theosophists have always proclaimed the physical Presence of the Christ, but have so distorted the teaching by dogmatic assertions on unimportant details and by ridiculous claims, that they have evoked little recognition of the underlying truth, nor have they portrayed a Kingdom which is attractive. Yet that Kingdom exists and is not a place of disciplines or golden harps and peopled by unintelligent fanatics, but a field of service and a place where every man has full scope for the exercise of his divinity in human service. EXT 604. 


JC: The title ?Christ? refers to the office of ?the world teacher,? the supreme Head of the Masters and Hierarchy. He is the ?one elect?. It is the Master KH who will eventually take this office.

The Master K. H. is in line for the office of World Teacher when the present holder of that office vacates it for higher work. IHS 54.


The hitherto implacable Chohan my Master. K.H. Letter 11. 1881.


The all powerful hand of our Chohan. Letter 42. M.


Our venerable Chohan. Letter 54. KH.


He is the "one elect," that he knows that which all others are barely allowed to suspect. Do not protest for it is useless. We know, and you do not. KH Letter 50. 1882.


H.P.B. is in despair: the Chohan refused permission to M. K. H. Letter No.17.


Infallible Prevision on this earth -- that shines only for the highest CHOHAN alone is yet far away from me! Letter 59. KH. 1883/4.


JC: Once again, ?The title "Christ" refers to the office of "the world teacher," the supreme Head of the Masters and Hierarchy. He is the "one
elect". It is the Master KH who will eventually take this office.? It is proposed that the Chohan referred to by the Mahatmas is the Christ Maitreya, the ?one elect?. KH refers to this Chohan as ?my Master? and I would ask everyone, who is the Master of KH? KH is in line for the office of the world teacher which the Christ Maitreya occupies. Both are on the 2nd ray line of love/wisdom and I propose the Christ is the direct Master of mahatma KH. This Chohan, the ?one elect? is the Master of KH and he it is that ?knows that which all others are barely allowed to suspect?. Does this not allude to the Christ Maitreya the Master of Masters, the teacher of angels and men, and could this not include ?infallible prevision on Earth? of the highest Chohan of which KH states is ?yet far away from me!? I propose that the ?highest Chohan? the ?Maha Chohan? the ?one elect? with ?infallible prevision? is the Master of all masters and the direct Master of KH, and is the Christ Maitreya, Our Maha (the "Chief").
