I stand publicly corrected! In my defense, not that there can be much of a defense in this case, it was all those years of TMSP that made me so dysfunctional.

A liar, boy lover and huckster - this is one of your heroes and you accuse me of making stuff up? But you love to adore someone who based his career on made up bullshit like Marshy and CW Leadbeater. Mikey, I think you need to become a better reader. There are remedial programs available for reading deficiencies like yours. Don't be ashamed for being slow, there is no stigma for those who try. I thanked s3erifina for her generosity. I wrote that HW Ledbetter is one of my heroes. I even included a photograph of Ledbetter, so you wouldn't get yourself confused again. This was a follow up to my heartfelt post describing my love of some Bluesmen who had really lived a life and developed such skill that they could express their soul thru their music. In response, you write, for a second time, about some sexual deviancy. What's on your mind? Giving up trying to help lost causes, d P.S. Where do you find the words that you paste into your Posts. Do the words look nice? "In 1906, Leadbeater had been forced out of the Theosophical Society in shame and disgrace after admitting under oath to having performed sexual acts on young boys in his care. However, only a couple of years later, Annie Besant – who was soon to become the president of the Theosophical Society – invited Leadbeater back and readmitted him, much to the shock and disgust of many members. That Leadbeater never reformed his ways is apparent from the mass of accusations, eyewitness reports, complaints, court cases, and police investigations that continued to hound the rest of his Theosophical career around the world up to his death in 1934. His lifelong sexual obsession and abuse of boys has been well documented in many places, particularly in Gregory Tillett’s lengthy biographical study “The Elder Brother: A Biography of Charles Webster Leadbeater” and in this document containing verbatim legal transcripts, court reports, confessions, and graphic letters written by Leadbeater to boy proteges, at http://blavatskyarchives.com/ton2.pdf. In 1909, soon after having been readmitted and raised to a place of prominence by Besant, Leadbeater claimed that he had discovered via his supposed clairvoyant and spiritual powers that the coming of Maitreya was imminent. Now it must be explained that the “Coming of Maitreya” is initially a Buddhist doctrine. It is said that Gautama Buddha stated that the next Buddha would come 5,000 years after him and would be called or referred to by the Indian name of Maitreya. Since Gautama lived 2,600 years ago, this would mean that the Buddha Maitreya is not due to appear on the scene until another 2,400 years from now. But Leadbeater claimed that Maitreya was first of all going to appear as a Bodhisattva and World Teacher and then sometime later on would succeed Gautama as the Buddha. Even more surprisingly, he announced that Christ and Maitreya are one and the same person. According to him, this being – who he called the “Christ-Maitreya” or “Lord Maitreya the Christ” – was a highly advanced soul living in a physical body here on the physical plane, somewhere in the Himalayas, and that he had spiritually overshadowed and worked through “the Master Jesus” during the three years of the latter’s public ministry. Thus, according to this line of thought, Jesus and Christ are two distinct beings. Apparently unperturbed by or oblivious to the fact that equating Maitreya with Christ is offensive to the majority of both Buddhists and Christians, Leadbeater declared that the coming of Maitreya – or, in other words, the Second Coming of Christ – was near and that he was intending to make his reappearance on the world scene by means of overshadowing another individual, this time a young Indian man called Jiddu Krishnamurti who Leadbeater had seen playing on the beach near Theosophical Society headquarters in Adyar, India, one day and taken a shine to. Much to the distress of Krishnamurti’s father – who considered Leadbeater to be a predatory menace and corrupting influence towards all young boys – Leadbeater and Besant eventually managed to seize custody of the boy and the next twenty years were spent carefully grooming and training him – some might instead be inclined to call it brainwashing – for his eventual “mission.”" Maitreya in the Light of Real Theosophy Maitreya in the Light of Real Theosophy Some frequent search terms used by visitors to both this site and our sister site at are Blavatsky and Maitreya, Theosophy Maitreya, and What did Blavatsky say abou...
