CHARLES LEADBEATER SAYS HE COMMUNICATES TELEPATHICALLY WITH BLAVATSKY

 

 

On May 8, 1917, during the White Lotus commemoration, Leadbeater mentioned the following at the Sydney Lodge:

 

« You are rather fortunate people, brothers. I shall be able to open with something which you certainly do not expect. As I was on my way across to you (on the ferry from Neutral Bay, crossing Sydney Harbour), Madame Blavatsky herself gave me a message to you. Now I am quite sure you did not expect that — at least, I did not. I tried the best I could to get it down, but I am a little doubtful about the exact wording in some places still.

 

Of course, you know that Madame Blavatsky lives now in a masculine body which she took directly she left the other one. When she left that body, of which you have a very inadequate portrait over there, she stepped into the body of an Indian boy, then about fourteen years old.

. . .

So far in this life she has not come down among us or taken any direct share in the work of The Society, though she has often given us her advice, I am glad to say, and has also dictated to us or written for us various teachings on different points. But at the present moment this is what she has to say to you. So far as I know, you are the only people in the world who are getting a message from her; you may naturally feel yourselves honoured.

 

She says:

 

“I greet you well, you who meet to celebrate my birthday in my present body.

 

Mine was the rough pioneer work. I bore the brunt of the storm. Yours is the smoother sailing of the entrance into port. Yet both were needed, and but for that clearing of the ground you could not sow your seed so easily, you could not gather in your crops.

 

Now you have many lines along which you can choose your work, but none of them would have been possible unless the parent Society had first been firmly established. More than once I have had to shake and to sift its members before they were ready to follow where the Bodhisattva wished to lead them, before they had conquered all their ancient, time-honoured, moss-grown prejudices, and were prepared to open their minds to comprehend the wide ocean of His all-embracing love.

 

You who live here, in the metropolis of the Southern Hemisphere, you have a grand opportunity before you. See that you take it, that your part of this new Sub-Race may not disappoint Him [Lord Maitreya] when He comes to rouse it and to lead it. I watch you, as I watch my own Society. You have my earnest goodwill and the Great Masters’ blessing in all your lines of work. Go on and prosper, but remember that only by utter self-forgetfulness can success be obtained.” »

(Theosophy in Australia, September 1917, p.144-150)

 

 

 

 

 

 

OBSERVATIONS

 

That supposed message that Leadbeater received from Blavatsky, he received telepathically because fourteen years later for the commemoration of the centenary of Blavatsky's birth, Leadbeater said at Adyar headquarters that “a few days ago I finally met her in her new physical body".

 

But the content of that message shows that it was not dictated by Blavatsky because it makes no sense she motivate the members of the Sydney Lodge to continue supporting Leadbeater for "the prompt arrival of Lord Maitreya," since the real Blavatsky specified several times that there is still a long way to go before Maitreya comes to Earth; and instead if it makes much more sense to consider that Leadbeater invented this message to continue manipulating his followers.

 

And previously Leadbeater had invented a similar hoax since when he was writing about Colonel Olcott, he pretended that Olcott’s disembodied spirit had approached him to dictate a message to the Theosophists saying something similar (see his book "The Inner Life ”II, section 14).

And this is one more example that shows you the big charlatanism of Charles Leadbeater who in reality had not active his telepathy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE PAST LIVES OF COLONEL OLCOTT

On this matter Charles Leadbeater wrote the following in his book "The Inner Life II":

 

« Long ago in old Atlantis, in the great City of the Golden Gate, there reigned a mighty King. One day there came to him a soldier whom he had sent out to head an expedition against a troublesome tribe on the borders of that vast empire. The soldier reported victory, and as a reward the King gave him the position of captain of the Palace guard, and placed specially in his charge the life of his own only son, the heir apparent to his throne. Not long afterwards the newly-appointed captain had an opportunity of proving his faithfulness to his trust, for when he was alone with the young Prince in the Palace gardens a band of conspirators rushed upon them and tried to assassinate his charge.

 

The captain fought bravely against heavy odds and, though mortally wounded, succeeded in protecting the Prince from serious harm until help arrived, and he and the unconscious Prince were borne together into the presence of the King. The Monarch heard the story and, turning to his dying captain, said:

 

-         "What can I do for you who have given your life for me?"

 

The captain replied:

 

-         "Grant me to serve you and your son forever in future lives, since now there is the bond of blood between us."

 

And with a last effort he dipped his finger in the blood which flowed so fast from his wounds, and touched with it the feet of his sovereign and the forehead of the still unconscious Prince. The King held out his hand in benediction, and replied:

 

-         "By the blood that has been shed for me and mine, I promise that both you and he shall serve me to the end."

 

So was the first link forged between three leaders of men of whom we have all heard; for that great King is now the Master M., the Prince his son has been known to us as Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, and the Captain of the guard as Henry Steele Olcott. Through all the ages since, through many strange vicissitudes, the link has been kept unbroken and the service has been rendered, as we know that it will be through ages yet to come.

 

 

Since then as Gashtasp, King of Persia, he protected and assisted in the foundation of the present form of Zoroastrianism, and later as the world-renowned King Asoka he issued those wonderful edicts which remain until this day graven upon rocks and pillars in India to show how real were his zeal and his devotion. And when, at the end of that long and strenuous life, he looked back upon it with sorrow to see how far short of his intentions even his wonderful achievements had fallen, his Master showed him, for his encouragement, two visions, one of the past and one of the future.

 

The vision of the past was the scene in Atlantis when the link between them was forged; the vision of the future showed his Master as the Manu of the Sixth Root-Race and our President-Founder as a lieutenant serving under Him in the exalted work of that high office. So Asoka died content in the certainty that the closest of all earthly ties, that between the Master and His pupil, would never be severed.

 

Having thus taken a prominent part in the spreading of two of the great religions of the world, Zoroastrianism and Buddhism, it was appropriate that he should be so closely associated with the work of this great movement which synthesizes all religions — the Theosophical Society. Never himself the spiritual teacher, he has always been the practical organizer who made the teacher's work possible. »

OBSERVATIONS

 

Given the big charlatanism that Charles Leadbeater displayed, it is most likely that those previous lives he related that Colonel Olcott had were mere fantasies of his imagination. We do not know what Colonel Olcott's true past lives have been.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LEADBEATER AFFIRMED TO MAINTAIN COMMUNICATION WITH OLCOTT AFTER HE DIED

On this matter Charles Leadbeater wrote the following in his book "The Inner Life II":

 

« He was unconscious for a while after death, but soon became fully awake and active. As I was always deeply attached to him, his Master told me to act as a kind of guide to him when necessary, and to explain to him whatever he wished. He had always been keenly interested in the powers and possibilities of the astral plane, and as soon as he could see it clearly, he was full of eager and insatiable desire to know how everything is done, to understand the rationale of it, and to learn to do it himself. He has an unusually strong will in certain directions, and that made many of the experiments easy to him even when they were quite new. He is most at home in work which involves the use of power in some way — to fight, to cure, to defend. He is full of big schemes for the future, and is just as enthusiastic as ever about the Society which he loves.

 

His attention has been attracted by the strong thought about him involved in writing this; he stands beside me now, and insists that I shall convey to the members his most earnest advice to give whole-hearted loyalty and support to his noble successor, to put aside at once and forever all pitiable squabbling over personalities, all unprofitable wrangling over matters which are not their business and which they cannot be expected to understand, and to turn their attention to the one and only matter of importance — the work which the Society has to do in the world.

 

His message to them is:

 

"Forget yourselves, your limitations and your prejudices, and spread the truths of Theosophy."

OBSERVATIONS

 

Here we perceive once again the charlatanism of Leadbeater who claimed to have such a developed clairvoyance that according to him he could communicate with the souls of humans who were on the astral plane. But as I have shown you in other chapters, Leadbeater's clairvoyance was appalling, to the extreme that everything he claimed to have discovered through his clairvoyant investigations turned out to be completely false.

 

And that trick of pretending to convey the message of some former deceased leader of the Theosophical Society so that the members of that organization do not criticize him but instead support him and Annie Besant for the soon coming of the "Lord Christ-Maitreya." Leadbeater did it several times, since later in a speech he gave at the Sydney Lodge, on May 8, 1917, he repeated the same thing again but this time pretending that Blavatsky had dictated it to him. But that is false because the real Blavatsky specified on several occasions that it is a very long time before Maitreya appears on Earth.
