RUDOLF STEINER ASSURANCES THAT THERE ARE TWO MASTERS KUTHUMI




Rudolf Steiner to solve the problem that:

-      On the one hand, he claimed to be in contact with Master Kuthumi who sent him very Christian telepathy messages,
-      And on the other hand, he repudiated the Eastern esoteric teachings, which Blavatsky claimed to have been transmitted by Master Kuthumi and Master Morya.


To resolve this contradiction Steiner developed the idea that there really existed two "Masters Kuthumi":

·        One was the real Master Kuthumi who was in contact with him,
·        And the other was a fake Master Kuthumi who was the one who had been in contact and had manipulating Blavatsky.

The “real” Master Kuthumi had supposedly had Western esoteric interests at heart and was one of Blavatsky’s early inspirers. But due to her uncontrolled mediumistic nature she came in contact during her early days in the USA with an impostor, who she failed to recognize as an impostor.

In 1916, Rudolf Steiner explained that:

« Blavatsky’s original leader wanted to pilot her into safe waters [of Occidental esotericism] generally speaking, when another leader appeared on the scene who was far from what Blavatsky used to call a Mahatma, someone completely different. »

The idea that Steiner initially presented in regard to this purported occult interloper was that he was named John King and was a disembodied sea pirate who had been famous in the 17th century.

In a lecture of 11th October 1915, Steiner tells those in attendances that:

« It is this John King who, by means of the precipitation process, produced the letters for Sinnett’s books, both the first book The Occult World and the second Esoteric Buddhism»

Blavatsky was apparently powerless to resist and, according to Steiner, from 1874 onwards was under the guidance and control of this false Kuthumi, namely John King.

Why would a deceased pirate want to do such a thing?

One might not unreasonably ask.


As ever, Steiner is ready to tell us:

« Then – in a certain sense under the mask of a previous individuality – a person entered the spiritual horizon of Blavatsky who was actually the carrier of what certain ones wanted to be introduced into the world from India … under the mask of the Mahatma Kuthumi You probably know that Olcott has written a great deal about this Mahatma Kuthumi, including the fact that in 1874 this Mahatma Kuthumi gave his opinion about the individuality which resided in him.

He said that in fact his name was John King and that he had possessed the personality of a pirate who had been famous in the 17th century. Further, Col. Olcott expressed himself in a curious manner about this John King. He says that probably one has not at all to deal with the pirate’s spirit, but with the creation of an Order which exists as a visible Order amidst physical humanity, while for results it is dependent on the invisible. »


The actual facts of the matter are that (1) Olcott did not write a great deal about the Master Kuthumi, (2) He never wrote anything at all about the Master identifying himself in any way with John King or a pirate, and (3) Nothing to this effect, nor even similar to it, can be found in any of Col. Olcott’s books.

So once again we are faced with the uncomfortable and unfortunate fact that Steiner was either completely unstable and out of control psychologically or a deliberate liar, perhaps being himself the one with highly suspect aims and possibly sinister inspiring forces.
He later went on to add more detail to this fiction.

This Adept-impersonating pirate was in fact…”a Russian spy.” Yes, just as previous opponents and enemies of Blavatsky and the genuine Theosophical Cause had accused her of being a Russian spy, always without any evidence or proof, Steiner accused her unseen inspirer of being a Russian spy! From his 9th December 1916 lecture:

« After a Mahatma who was referred to by the letters Kuthumi had for some time exerted a favorable influence on her, this Mahatma, through a number of machinations, was replaced by a spy in the service of a certain body. This spy had deserted occult fraternities where he had been initiated into high degrees, so that he was able to remain in the background as a Mahatma in order to attain through Blavatsky results which he wished to attain. »


Many Anthroposophists continue to believe and promulgate such notions, accepting Steiner’s every proclamation as gospel.

Another idea they keep alive is that of Blavatsky’s supposed “occult imprisonment” or “occult captivity.” She “had already been used as a puppet by diverse powers which influenced her,” he states, when “in 1879 at a meeting of occultists from various countries” it was decided upon that now she had relocated to India she should be put into a state of occult imprisonment, “achieved by a certain form of ceremonial magic,” essentially disabling her own soul and rendering her an inwardly paralyzed slave to be used by devious Eastern occultists for their own aims and ends.

Is it any wonder that few Anthroposophists hold Blavatsky in high regard after being fed all this nonsense?
                                             
From where did Steiner get these ideas about the Mahatmic imposter and so on?


He told his listeners that “there appeared – according to well informed occultists – under the mask of the Kuthumi personality, one who was in the service of the Russians and who consciously tried to unite the capacities of Blavatsky’s soul with English occultism.”

Who were these “well informed occultists” who stated such things?

Were they figments of Steiner’s own imagination or unscrupulous living men – Jesuits, perchance?

Who wished to use him as a tool for blackening the name and image of Blavatsky, the Masters, and Theosophy?


We can only speculate and speculation is rarely of much value. It is of equally little value to try to deduce why this Russian spy/disembodied pirate who had the task of forcing Blavatsky to promulgate Indian and Eastern esotericism wished to inwardly unite her with English occultism. But as the reader may be starting to see, there is very little in Steiner’s world that makes much sense.
