Re: Sir Thomas More, et al .....

Greetings, my Fraternal Brothers & Sisters,

I address you as a fellow theosophist, though not associated currently with
any "theosophical organization" anymore.  My Karma led me to "The United Lodge
of Theosophists" in London, Ontario a few years back where I studied the
original publications of H.P.B and W.Q. Judge.

My Karma then landed me in Ottawa, Ont., where I remain.  I would like to
contribute what I feel to be truth as to the identity of Sir Thomas More.  I
offer some of his more notable incarnations, up to his most recent.  Where I
get this information, you should concern yourselves with, for it is from the
modern Movement of the Masters.  Here then, I include from most ancient to
most recent, taken from a web site (of which I am affiliated) and the book
"The Chela and the Path":

Abraham, the ancient patriarch who emerged from Ur of the Chaldees to become
the prototype and progenitor of the twelve tribes of Israel.

Returning as Melchior, one of the three wise men of the East, he followed the
star that portended the birth of the best of his seed who would fulfill all
the promises of God unto his spiritual descendants.

As Arthur, king of the Britons, he summoned knights of the Round Table and
ladies of the court of Camelot to quest the Holy Grail and to attain through
initiation the inner mysteries of Christ.

Appearing again on Britain's soil as Thomas Becket as well as Thomas More,
both martyred, he twice played the role of defender of the Faith and
challenger of King Henry--also twice born (Henry II and VIII), and twice the
oppressor.

In the sixteenth century, his soul's journey took him to the East in the
person of Akbar, greatest of Mogul emperors, and in the nineteenth to Ireland
to be her poet laureate Thomas Moore.

Next he appeared as El Morya Khan, perhaps the most renowned of the Tibetan
mahatmas. Paradoxically, little biographical information of a traditional
nature is available about El Morya Khan. It is known that he was born a Rajput
prince in the Indian class of warriors and rulers esteemed for their courage
and honor. The date of his birth is uncertain.

What makes the life of El Morya so notable is his far-reaching work in the
merging of the ancient spiritual truths of the East with the traditions of the
West. This was accomplished largely through the founding of the Theosophical
Society in the latterpart of the last century and the subsequent instruction
released through that organization by the Master Morya and his longtime
friend, the Master Koot Hoomi Lal Singh. This instruction came in part in the
form of personal letters addressed to but a handful of Theosophical students,
chelas of the "Mahatma of the Himavat." These letters are now on file with the
British Museum in London.

Found also within the society's literature are occasional awe-filled
testimonies of the few Theosophists that were visited by this Himalayan adept
who, for the most part, preferred to remain unidentified by the outer world.
The writings of these disciples reveal that many strove for even the slightest
contact with El Morya.

In 1898, El Morya Khan ascended to the heart of God.


The Ascended Master El Morya Khan is the Lord (Chohan) of the First Ray of
God's Will and Chief of the Darjeeling Council of the Great White Brotherhood.
The Master's extraordinary devotion to God's word and work is a powerful
stream that runs throughout his soul's incarnations on earth as he has stood
staunch in the role of advocate, teacher, and exemplar before our spirits
soaring unto Love.

Any theosophist worthy of the name is questioning the validity of this
material.  Certainly I did.  Some of you have questions which I am pleased to
attemp answers to.  I am equally happy to offer the web-site to those
interested is also finding the string of embodiments of Master Kuthumi (K.H.,
or Koot-Hoomi).

You will forgive me, I hope, if you get no reply back from me.  I ask all to
question the source of any material that comes your way, but be open to its
possibilities.  I do not respond to those who do not ask nicely.  And why
should anyone?  Is it a virtual certainty that the above will be met with
disbelief and even hostility by the few? It is likely.

I don't respond to carnal or "lower self" argumentation.  I have
responsibilities like everyone as theosophists.  Do you need leaders of a
Society to tell you what you duties are?  Surely not, or at least the Founders
I have studied never propounded such external reliance on a governing Board.
but, I digress...

In any case, thanks for your attention.  Please direct your email to

Fraternally, I am;

<< Some neo-theosophical writers (and also Alice Bailey and Douglas Baker, I
 believe) refer to an "English Master" one of whose incarnations was the
 Renaissance Catholic saint and martyr, Sir Thomas More. His best known work
 was UTOPIA, a prophetic vision of communal democracy. This same Master seems
 to have had a subsequent incarnation as the poet Robert Browning. The
 "Initiate" series of books written by Cyril Scott refer to this mysterious
 figure in veiled terms. There is a specific reference to an English Master
(as
 Sir Thomas) in Scott's THE INITIATE IN A DARK CYCLE .  I don't have access to
 all my books since most of them are in storage. I remember, however, that
 Cyril Scott regarded this English Master and the Master Kuthumi as his
 personal gurus. Most of his communications to and from these personages were
 through trance channellers. Eileen J. Garrett, the famous British medium, may
 have been part of this tightly knit group of independent esotericists who
 skirted the periphery of the Theosophical Movement. I think I remember her
 writing something about this in her autobiography.
