THE ENCOUNTERS THAT ALICE BAILEY HAD WITH MASTER KUTHUMI

 
 
Alice Bailey stated that she was a disciple of Master Kuthumi, and in her Autobiography she narrated several encounters that she had with this master:
 
 
 
The first encounter with Kuthumi
 
On June 30th, 1895, I had an experience which has made that date for me one that I never forget and always keep. I had been for months in the throes of adolescent miseries. Life was not worth living. There was nothing but sorrow and trouble on every hand. I had not asked to come into the world but here I was.
 
I was just 15. Nobody loved me and I knew I had a hateful disposition and so was not surprised that life was difficult. There was no future ahead of me, except marriage and the humdrum life of my caste and set. I hated everybody (except two or three people) and I was jealous of my sister, her brains and good looks.
 
And then —at the height of my unhappiness and in the very middle of my dilemma and questioning— one of the Masters of the Wisdom came to me.
 
At the time of that happening and for many years after, I had not the remotest idea Who He was. I was scared stiff at the occurrence. I was stopping with my Aunt Margaret at Castramont, in Kirkcudbrightshire, at the time and the atmosphere was exactly right.
 
It was a Sunday morning. The previous Sunday I had heard a sermon which had aroused all my aspiration. This Sunday, for some reason, I had not gone to Church. All the rest of the house-party had gone and there was no one in the house but myself and the servants. I was sitting in the drawing-room reading. The door opened and in walked a tall man dressed in European clothes (very well cut, I remember) but with a turban on his head. He came in and sat down beside me. I was so petrified at the sight of the turban that I could not make a sound or ask what he was doing there. Then he started to talk.
 
He told me there was some work that it was planned that I could do in the world but that it would entail my changing my disposition very considerably; I would have to give up being such an unpleasant little girl and must try and get some measure of self-control. My future usefulness to Him and to the world was dependent upon how I handled myself and the changes I could manage to make. He said that if I could achieve real self-control I could then be trusted and that I would travel all over the world and visit many countries, "doing your Master's work all the time." Those words have rung in my ears ever since. He emphasised that it all depended upon me and what I could do and should do immediately. He added that He would be in touch with me at intervals of several years apart.
 
The interview was very brief. I said nothing but simply listened whilst He talked quite emphatically. Having said what He had come to say, He got up and walked out, after pausing at the door for a minute to give me a look which to this day I remember very distinctly. I did not know what to make of it all. When I had recovered from the shock, I was first frightened and thought I was going insane or had been to sleep and dreaming and then I reacted to a feeling of smug satisfaction. I felt that I was like Joan of Arc (at that time my heroine) and that, like her, I was seeing spiritual visions and was consequently set aside for a great work.

The following encounters with Kuthumi
 
As the years went by I found that at seven years intervals (until I was thirty-five) I had indications of the supervision and interest of this individual. Then in 1915 I discovered who He was and that other people knew Him. From then on the relationship has become closer and closer until today I can, at will, contact Him.
 
This willingness to be contacted on the part of a Master is only possible when a disciple is also willing never to avail himself of the opportunity except in moments of real emergency in world service.
 
I found that this visitor was the Master K. H., the Master Koot Hoomi, a Master Who is very close to the Christ, Who is on the teaching line and Who is an outstanding exponent of the love-wisdom of which the Christ is the full expression. The real value of this experience is not to be found in the fact that I, a young girl called Alice La Trobe-Bateman, had an interview with a Master but in the fact that knowing nothing whatsoever of Their existence, I met one of Them and that He talked with me.
 
The value is to be found also in the fact that everything that He told me came true (after I had tried hard to meet requirements) and because I discovered that He was not the Master Jesus, as I had naturally supposed, but a Master of Whom I could not possibly have heard and one Who was totally unknown to me.
 
Anyway, the Master K. H. is my Master, beloved and real. I have worked for Him ever since I was fifteen years old and I am now one of the senior disciples in His group, or —as it is called esoterically— in His Ashram.

The Theosophical Society's portrait of Kuthumi
 
It was during this year, 1918, that I discovered for the first time who it was that had come to see me in Scotland when I was a girl of fifteen. I had been admitted into the Esoteric Section (E.S.) of the Theosophical Society and was attending their meetings. The first time that I went into the Shrine Room I saw the customary pictures of the Christ and the Masters of the Wisdom, as the Theosophists call Them.
 
To my surprise there, looking straight at me, was a picture of my visitor. There was no mistake.  This was the man who had walked into my aunt's drawing room, and it was not the Master Jesus.
 
I was inexperienced then and rushed to one of the senior people at Krotona and asked for the name of this Master. They told me that it was the Master K. H.

The first telepathic contact with Kuthumi
 
After writing for the Tibetan for nearly a month I got completely scared and absolutely refused to do any more work.  I told the Tibetan that the three little girls had only me to look to, that if I were ill or went crazy (as so many psychics seemed to do) they would be all alone and that I did not dare take the chance.
 
He accepted my decision but told me to try and get in touch with my Master, K. H., and talk the matter over with Him.
 
After thinking it over for a week or so I decided to get in touch with K. H. and proceeded to do so, following the very definite technique He had taught me.  When I got my opportunity for an interview with K. H. we talked the whole thing through.
 
He assured me that I was in no danger, either physically or mentally, and that I had the opportunity of doing a really valuable piece of work.  He told me that it was He, Himself, Who had suggested that I help the Tibetan; that He was not transferring me into the Tibetan's ashram (or spiritual group) but that He wished me still to work in His.
 
I therefore complied with the wish of K. H. and told the Tibetan that I would work with Him.  I have been strictly his amanuensis and secretary and am not a member of His group.  He has never interfered with my personal work or training.  In the spring of 1920 I entered into a very happy time of collaboration with Him, while working as a senior disciple in the ashram of my own Master.

The following telepathic contacts with Kuthumi
 
Later I had been given the privilege of contacting K. H. when I chose, for I could now be trusted to keep my personality affairs out of His Ashram and I moved on into greater usefulness in His Ashram and, consequently, in the world.
 
(Chapter 5)
 
 
 
 
 
The last encounter with Kuthumi (in that reincarnation)
 
Foster Bailey noted that:
 
When the hour of death of Alice Bailey arrived, her own Master K. H. came for her as he had promised long ago.

OBSERVATIONS
 
Alice Bailey contradicts herself because in chapter one she states that in 1915 she already knew who was the master who visited her in 1895, but in chapter four she mentions that in 1918 she asked a member of the Theosophical Society who this teacher was.
 
Anyway, I can assure you that all she said about her relationship with Master Kuthumi is false. First because she asserted many falsehoods about Kuthumi, which discredits the fact that she had contact with this teacher. And second, because in the blog I have shown you that Alice Bailey was an immense charlatan, so her story of having been a disciple of Kuthumi is just one more lie in the long list of falsehoods that she told.
