Dear Sufi,

Perhaps you should read more carefully what HPB said about the Masters of 
Wisdom "sending some disciple more informed, and far better fitted to give FINAL 
AND IRREFUTABLE PROOFS that there exists a SCIENCE called Gupta-Vidya." 

That statement does NOT say sending more of the Gupta-Vidya -- which has 
already been given out on the highest and compassionate level since time 
immemorial, and can never be added to or subtracted from. 

A PROOF of the science of Gupta-Vidya is not the same as changing or adding 
to the Theosophical teachings -- but is simply a verification of them. 

"Irrefutable proof," means exactly what it says. And such a proof, which, as 
HPB pointed out, means a demonstration that the SCIENCE of GUPTA-VIDYA 
--already completely given out as thoroughly as it could be in the Secret Doctrine, 
as well as in all the references to all the ancient scriptures within it -- is 
the final TRUTH of the way the Universe really is and actually works. 

So, who is it that must bring such a proof? 

Why, a knowledgeable scientist (who may also be a theosophist) of course. 

Who else can devise a new scientific concept of reality that synthesizes all 
the modern sciences of today into a "Grand Unified Field Theory of Everything" 
(including consciousness and mind) -- that completely confirms the 
theosophical metaphysics of Cosmogenesis and Anthropogenesis? Wouldn't that, in its 
final analysis, be the complete Science of Gupta-Vidya, as stated unequivocally 
in the Book of the Golden Precepts -- which includes both the Book of Dzyan and 
the Voice of the Silence? And, what more could anyone add to that totality? 

Isn't it obvious that, once such a new scientific paradigm merging and 
synthesizing all the modern sciences of relativity, quantum physics, biology, 
psychology, evolution, anthropology, physiology, chemistry, etc., and linking them 
to the epistemology and ontology of mind and consciousness, can be proven 
beyond a shadow of a doubt -- and such a new paradigm becomes accepted as the true b
asis of reality by all scientific disciplines -- it will also be accepted by 
all of mankind?... And, with it, all the truths of reincarnation and karma, 
as well as all the moral and ethical precepts they imply -- compassion included?

Therefore, isn't it also quite obvious that the "teaching" of theosophy and 
the "proof" of theosophical science are two different things, although 
interrelated? And, that the "New Messenger" and the "New Message" has nothing to do 
with adding to or changing the Science of Gupta-Vidya itself? 

All that will be accomplished by such a Messenger and Message, is to finalize 
the Three Objects of the Theosophical Movement -- of which the Science of 
Gupta-Vidya is simply the rock upon which they stand. 

Any additions brought to us with respect to the fundamental teachings 
themselves, would simply be applicable to that understanding of the means whereby 
each individual can attain enlightenment and self-realization -- "so as to be 
better able to help and teach others" -- which each of us must find for ourselves 
through "our own individual self devised and self determined efforts"... The 
final answers for which can only come through direct contact with one's 
Master within (with or without guidance from both living and dead Masters or 
Adepts). "Self-realization" belongs to each of us, as indivdual "nuclii" of 
universal brotherhood -- and not to our groups, the world, or Mankind and its 
evolution -- which is what the Theosophical Movement is concerned with. (Although, 
if we all were self-realized, the world would also be.)

As an added thought, perhaps the Messenger who came in 1975 was one of the 
known or unknown scientists who first suggested multidimensional "string theory" 
that could soon lead to the final experiment that proves the universe is and 
works exactly the way it was explained in the Secret Doctrine. 

Incidentally, the final step that marries consciousness and mind to the 
physical multidimensional hyperspace theory of Superstrings and M-branes (today's 
contender as the final Theory of Everything) was first conceived by me in 1975 
as the "theory of ABC" (based on the teachings I received from a now deceased 
nuclear physicist, Dr. Philip Sebastian Percheron, who was, besides a 
theosophist, an ordained Lama of the Nyingmapa, a nephew of Gurdjieff, a personal 
friend of the late Panchen Lama, and the designer of the trigger mechanism on the 
Hiroshima A-bomb). 

Could "Doc Perch" be the New Messenger HPB was talking about? Could his 
"message" to and through me, be his final restitution for the karma he created 
back in 1945? And, am I, as well as those theosophists and scientists who read 
my stuff and might act on it, just one of the many "agents" or "companions" 
that the Masters would have to place around any such Messenger -- who, like HPB, 
couldn't expect to be here when such a message would be fulfilled? 

I'll leave it to you (along with the rest of us) to mull over all this and 
decide whether or not you agree that we have been talking, all along, about two 
different things. That is, the Theosophical Teachings vs. the Theosophical 
Movement -- which like consciousness and matter are ever to be separated, but 
always dependent on each other -- as above, so below. 

With that, I will continue to do my work toward helping prove the Science of 
Gupta-Vidya -- with the hope that you (and others of like mind) will continue 
to do your best in reinterpreting and "spread broadcasting" the teachings in 
"the language of this age" so that it may be understandable to all those of 
differing ethnic and cultural backgrounds as well as karma. Some of them, could 
be among those who assist in helping prove the Science of Gupta-Vidya, as well 
as carry on the further development of the Theosophical Movement toward 
achieving the final Universal Brotherhood of all Humanity -- long after both you 
and I have left this short scene in the vast history of the TM.

Thank you for your input and questions -- that allowed me to further clarify 
these matters.

Best wishes,

LHM
