Theos-Talk Archives (April 1994 Message tl00051)

I'm not sure how much one needs to postulate an "accomplished
psychic" and how much a highly suggestible subject.  If you
read bios of AB you will see that she allowed herself to be
possessed as it were by a series of influences, centering on
men around whom she constructed her universe.  Bradlaugh,
Aveling, Shaw, Judge, Chakravarti, Leadbeater, Krishnamurti
among others.  There was so little independence of thought and
observation that when K. rejected the TS her mind virtually
collapsed.  Paradoxically, when she gave herself up to these
influences she became very strong on their behalf.

As for the Masters, it all depends on what you mean.  Having
gone into great length on this in the past, I don't want to
repeat myself.  Suffice it to say that I not only believe in
them but believe that I have done all I possibly can to prove
their existence-- the Masters of HPB, that is.  Moreover, that
this proof is persuasive enough to induce the nation's largest
university press to publish my books. Whether TS leader
subsequent to her has been in touch with them is not for me to
say, because I judge on the basis of historical evidence.  To
my knowledge there is absolutely none in the cases of the folks
you mention. But I am open to evidence if anyone has some to
offer.  Right now I am working on a sequel to The Masters
Revealed which covers a large number of characters who CAN be
shown by historical evidence to have been disciples of HPB's
Masters.
