Bjorn: May I suggest that you read Albert Screecher's book: "The Search for
the Historical Jesus", and then we can talk about this subject. I am not a
Christian "near Saint" Schweitzer is. I always prefer to refer people to
real experts.

That is true, but one has no way of actually identifying them. The hard part
for those not Shamans, is deciding what is real.

Can I be empirically proven? Yes I can. Well I am intrinsically  a spirit,
as are you. As a Shaman, "spirits"who are intrinsically unidentifiable, use
my body and voice as a transmitter for the Cosmic harmonic. Who they are, I
have no idea,although I do see them from time to time, and they are very
interesting indeed. BUT that is a far cry from saying I have met the Master
K.H. or The Master Jesus. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? I have
met several people whom I consider to be Adeptii, but they were in the
flesh. Some of the spirits I work with and see may indeed be at that level
but I would never presume to say so. If one is going to be an occultist, one
must follow the rules of occultism.

Many people have called Mme. Blavatsky a fraud, and in some instances they
may be right. But reading her words one finds they are anything but
superficial and banal, they may be absurd and ridiculous, but they are never
banal. The theosophical writings that are banal and superficial were mostly
written by Bishop Leadbeater and his many imitators, and they in fact are
the basic sources for Elisabeth clair Prophets writings.

His name by the way, was Mark Probbert (he was her husband, not simply her
predecessor). She changed it after his death to suit her purposes. This is
one of the many reasons I find her extremely questionable. One of the joys
of being a doddering old man is that I can say I met him once or twice. I
liked him and thought he was a valid psychic. I do not think she is. i don't
think he thought she was either.

 But you see Bjorn, I was attracted to theosophy by three little things, the
three objects, and by one big thing, the motto: "There's No Religion Higher
Than Truth". I didn't "fall for HPB" or "CWL' or anyone. I was much
attracted by "Isis Unveiled", but I am regarded as at least neo-heretical by
many theosophists for my views on "The Secret Doctrine"

Oh I couldn't agree more, don't ever think I want anyone to take my word for
anything. Read her words by all means. I trust the judgement of most people
on this list.

Bjorn: "Pity" is something one feels, it cannot be demonstrated. What it
means is that I feel "sorry" for you. There are better things, I believe,
for one to believe in. But it is your choice. You will learn differently in
time. You are relatively young yet.
