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.
