After Leadbeater's Fancies -- What?

Friends,
Konstantin, in an interesting dialogue with Paul Johnson, mentions C. W.
Leadbeater.
Indeed, Leadbeater's ideas and books are responsible, even now, for the
structure of the Adyar TS.
CWL wote absurds for decades --- with the wild excuse of being clairvoyant.
If you want I can bring some of thesefancies here. I have them all mapped
out bibliographically.
They were the subject of a correspondence between me and Joy Mills in
1999-2000, in which
Joy did what she could not avoid doing. She at least half-confirmed that
in her view CWL's books are absurd. She admitted she considered his books
"science-fiction", but recommended ... that I remained in silence about
those PUBLIC nonsenses!
Mr. Leadbeater described in details the "physical life in Mars", in his
time. He gave some of the details about physical life in Mercury.
He announced that Julius Caeser and the Christ would both come back,
eliminate all wars and establish universal peace on earth during the second
half of the 20th century.
Krishnamurti, of course, was to be the vehicle for the Neotheosophical
Christ imagined by CWL.
All Leadbeaterian nonsenses have been carefully removed from his books, and
several books have simply been abandoned, as time came to show they were
really absurd.
This has been the "editorial" work of several TPHs (Theosophical Publishing
Houses), along the decades.
And now the USA TPH superates itself by adopting as true... the old 19th
century libels against HPB.
The "clairvoyant" Leadbeater is the one who created the ritualistic
power-structure which is beneath the façade of liberty of thought in the
Adyar TS.
This ritualistic power-structure is now void of content or even of fancies.
People are about to open their eyes. Right now, it is hard to find any
Adyar theosophist who has a bright vision about the future of the
Leadbeaterian movement. Et pour cause. And there are reasons for that.
Each crisis brings several opportunities. The movement is in a crisis now,
and it will most likely take advantage of the opportunities available and
CHANGE for the better in the years ahead.
It will be easier than appearances suggest. I am already thinking I see
the first signs of a new morning to arrive. Venus, HPB's lightbearer, the
star of the morning, seems to be announcing better days for us poor
students and aspirants, while humankind's karma accelerates into new
pathways too.
I guess Bruce MacDonald, the editor of FOHAT magazine, has mentioned
something of it a couple of days ago, didn't he?
Best regards, Carlos.

The answer is quite simple. If Johnson's allegations were true, it
would mean that CWL had false visions while HPB was simply
lying! The latter accusation is much worse. In this case CWL and
his followers can be regarded as in some extent victims who
believed to the myths initially invented by HPB.
