Re: Theos-World Leadbeater revised

Dear Gregory,
I am not interested in that subject and guesses people make that somebody might have done something to somebody. I am interested in Theosophy and any book I read, I judge every sentence with my own knowledge, intellect and intuition.
Best regards.

Subject: Theos-World Leadbeater revised


Anand Gholap claimed:

"(4) Boys asked him [Leadbeater] what to do about continuous sexual 
thoughts in their minds. Leadbeater replied masturbation would relieve 
from those thoughts for some time. Any doctor will tell you he is right. 
>>From that statement many stories were created by others about CWL."

Interesting revision of history, but, alas, simply false. 

Leadbeater, by his own admission:

(i) claimed to be able to know clairvoyantly when boys where experiencing 
sexual desire and initiated discussions about masturbation with them;

(ii) "taught" (his word) masturbation to boys [whatever "taught" might 
mean];

(iii) included "indicative action" in his "teaching" of masturbation;

(iv) may have used "physical touch" in his "teaching" of masturbation;

(v) did such things to pre-pubescent boys.

This is a long way - morally and legally - from providing counselling to 
boys who sought his advice. Any doctor (or psychologist or clergyman or 
counsellor) who did what Leadbeater admitted doing would be de-registered 
and sent to jail.
