Stand beneath the waterfall and receive unreservedly the flow of
the hierarchy of Aquarius that comes through our embodied
messengers.
When the waterfall ceases to flow, move on, for
hierarchy will not be stopped. We will open another stream and
prepare a channel for the crystal-clear waters of life
Kuthumi
On September 7, 1875, Helena Petrovna
Blavatsky and Henry Steel Olcott (below) founded
the Theosophical Society.
They were directed to do so by two eastern Adepts or Masters,
Morya
and Koot Hoomi.(1)
Besides its three official objects
(1a), the mission
of the Theosophical Society was to prepare the world for the coming
of a great spiritual teacher, expected in the last quarter of the
20th century.(2)
Annie Besant, Blavatsky’s successor as leader of the Theosophical
Society, and Charles Webster Leadbeater, mediator between the Adepts
and the Theosophical Society, were directed to implement this
project fifty years in advance.(3)
The young Jiddu Krishnamurti was chosen and trained to be the
vehicle through whom the World Teacher Lord Maitreya would reveal
himself.(4)
The Order of the Star in the East was the worldwide organization to
draw together all those who expected the coming of this great
teacher. Krishnamurti became its Head.
Not all Theosophists were in
agreement with these
 developments.(5)
Until about 1927 all went relatively well
(6)
and starting on December 28, 1925 Krishnamurti (left) was overshadowed a
few times by Lord Maitreya.(7)
Krishnamurti and other Theosophists declared the project
successful,(8)
others were of the opposite opinion.(9)
From about 1927 on Krishnamurti decided to go his own way and
irrevocably dissociated himself from the project by dissolving the
Order of the Star on August 3, 1929.
Through Theosophists Cyril Scott and David Anrias, the Adepts
communicated their evaluation of the project and declared it an
almost complete failure.(10)
Krishnamurti caused so much confusion in the ranks of the
Theosophists, that the Theosophical Society was disqualified as the
spearhead of the work of the Adepts. Nevertheless, some
Theosophists, such as C. Jinarajadasa and Geoffrey Hodson, were
still in contact with the Adepts (11),
and They kept a continuing interest in the affairs of the
Theosophical Society.(12)
Furthermore the Adepts worked also with
Alice Bailey, which was not
successful
(13),
and with Nicholas and Helena Roerich, which was.(14)
Three months after Krishnamurti had dissolved the Order of the Star,
the crash on the New York Stock Exchange happened.
This event was
the starting point of an unprecedented disastrous sixteen-year-cycle
of economic depression, militarism, fascism and war, culminating in
the Holocaust and the use of the atomic bomb. This was no
coincidence.
One of its main causes was the earlier mentioned
confusion amongst many advanced souls. They were not able anymore to
keep the forces of darkness at bay.(15)
In the summer of 1930, the Adept Saint Germain approached
Guy
Ballard, an American mining engineer with an interest in the occult,
with the request to become messenger for the Adepts. Ballard wrote
Unveiled Mysteries under the name Godfre Ray King and founded the
“I
AM” Movement.(16)
Through Ballard the Adepts gave the revelations deemed necessary for
the Age of Aquarius, which originally were intended to be given
through Krishnamurti.(17)
These revelations included original teachings about mantra yoga, the
divine self or the I AM Presence, and the initiation of the
ascension.(18)
In the 1930s the “I AM” Movement was very successful.(19)
Because of Guy Ballard’s passing in 1939, a string of lawsuits and
bad publicity, the movement experienced a setback.
Guy Ballard’s wife, Edna Ballard, succeeded him.
The Adepts
  
El Morya
Khan Maha Chohan Koot Hoomi
(Kuthumi)
In 1944 the Adept the Maha Chohan, the chief of
El Morya and Kuthumi,
contacted “I AM” member Geraldine Innocente.(20)
In April 1952 she founded anonymously the Bridge to Freedom to
spread some teachings by “Thomas Printz,” pseudonym for El Morya.(21)
Mark Prophet (below), who was associated with the Bridge to Freedom, was
contacted by El Morya in the early 1950s.
The Adepts directed him to
found
The Summit Lighthouse, which he did on August 8, 1958. This
organization, now also known as
  Church Universal and Triumphant, has
been a very successful organization in spreading the revelations for
the New Age of Aquarius.(22)
Its current head is Elizabeth Clare Prophet (right), who was contacted in
the spring of 1961 by El Morya to join The Summit Lighthouse in
order to be trained as a messenger.(23)
She became its head in 1973 after the passing of Mark Prophet to
whom she was married.(24)
Among her students she is also known as Guru Ma or just
Mother.
In 1995 the organization lost its protection from El Morya
(24a)
and unfortunately, in late 1998, Prophet was diagnosed with
Alzheimer's disease and soon after stopped transmitting messages
from the Masters.
Recent offshoots of Church Universal and Triumphant are:
-
The Temple
of The Presence founded by Carolyn and Monroe Shearer
-
Shangra-la by
Kim Michaels
-
New Wisdom University by Marsha Covington
-
The
Hearts Center by David Lewis
All were members of Prophet's
organization and claim to be contacted by the Masters to inaugurate
new Ascended Master organizations.
(25)
The revelations given through the Ballards and the Prophets on one
side, and the philosophy of Krishnamurti (and others) on the other
side might both lead to either the beginning of a transformation of
already existing civilizations like the Judeo-Christian and the
Indic, both of which might be stimulated to new levels of
intellectual and spiritual development, or - and this probably being
the case with Krishnamurti’s teachings - to the birth of a completely
new, though deeply flawed, religion and civilization.(26)
1. El Morya wrote in 1882:
“So casting about we found in
America the man [H.S. Olcott] to stand as leader... . With
him we associated a woman [H.P. Blavatsky] of most
exceptional and wonderful endowments... . We sent her to
America, brought them together--and the trial began.”
Letter No.44, Morya to A.P.
Sinnett, February 1882, in A.T. Barker, compiler, The
Mahatma Letters to A.P. Sinnett (Adyar, India: Theosophical
Publishing House, 1972), p. 259.
And in 1975:
“In 1876, Helena Petrovna
Blavatsky was ordered by the Master Kuthumi and me, then
known as the Masters K.H. and M., to write Isis Unveiled.
Later she was given the responsibility of imparting The
Secret Doctrine to the world."

Both Masters took their fifth
initiation, the Ascension, at the close of the last century,
thereby becoming incorporeal Ascended Masters. And as Blavatsky
has written--referring to other saints, that, when “unburthened
of their terrestrial tabernacles, their freed souls, henceforth
united forever with their spirits, rejoin the whole shining
host, which is bound together in one spiritual solidarity of
thought and deed, and called the ‘anointed,’ ”--the same glad
tidings could be told, not only about these two illustrious
Masters, but also about many other brave souls who followed
them.
[H.P. Blavatsky, Isis Unveiled
(Pasadena CA: Theosophical University Press, 1976 [1877]), II,
p. 159].
For practical purposes the
difference between an Unascended Master and an Ascended one is
not very great. Both can work in the physical as well as in the
spiritual realm and both have a wide array of occult powers at
their command to guide Their pupils and help mankind. The
difference is that an Unascended Master has its base of
operations in a physical body and an Ascended Master in a
spiritual body. To dismiss the latter as spooks, because They do
not conform to one’s idea of flesh-and-blood Masters, is to deny
oneself the great wisdom coming from the 'anointed' or Ascended
Masters.
[Blavatsky wrote about the concept
of Nirmanakaya:
"As a Nirmanakaya, however, the
adept leaves behind him only his physical body, and retains
every other "principle" save the Kamic, for he has crushed
this out for ever from his nature during life, and it can
never resurrect in his post-mortem state. Thus, instead of
going into selfish bliss, he chooses a life of
self-sacrifice, an existence which ends only with the
life-cycle, in order to be enabled to help mankind in an
invisible, yet most effective, manner."

1889), pp. 353-354]

The objects of the Theosophical Society are the following:
-
To form a nucleus of the
universal brotherhood of humanity, without distinction of
race, creed, sex, caste, or color.
-
To encourage the comparative
study of religion, philosophy, and science.
-
To investigate unexplained laws
of nature and the powers latent in humanity.

2. Blavatsky wrote in 1889:
“If the present attempt, in the
form of our Society, succeeds better than its predecessors
have done, then it will be in existence as an organized,
living and healthy body when the time comes for the effort
of the XXth century. The general condition of men’s minds
and hearts will have been improved and purified by the
spread of its teachings, and, as I have said, their
prejudices and dogmatic illusions will have been, to some
extent at least, removed. Not only so, but besides a large
and accessible literature ready to men’s hands, the next
impulse will find a numerous and united body of people ready
to welcome the new torch-bearer of Truth. He will find the
minds of men prepared for his message, a language ready for
him in which to clothe the new truths he brings, an
organization awaiting his arrival, which will remove the
merely mechanical, material obstacles and difficulties from
his path.
Think how much one, to whom such
an opportunity is given, could accomplish. Measure it by
comparison with what the Theosophical Society actually has
achieved in the last fourteen years, with out any of these
advantages and surrounded by hosts of hindrances which would
not hamper the new leader. Consider all this, and then tell
me whether I am too sanguine when I say that if the
Theosophical Society survives and lives true to its mission,
to its original impulses through the next hundred
years--tell me, I say, if I go too far in asserting that
earth will be a heaven in the twenty-first century in
comparison with what it is now!”

3. Annie Besant wrote in 1912:
“It may interest members to
recall the fact that Mme. H.P. Blavatsky, one of the
founders of the T.S., regarded it as the mission of the T.S.
to prepare the world for the coming of the next great
Teacher, though she put that event perhaps half a century
later than I do. Which of us is right as to date, only time
can show. I do not say that she was necessarily right in
making this its mission, but as she proclaimed this view in
the supposedly ‘uncolored’ days, under ‘the old régime,’ the
repetition of the statement by myself does not imply any
change of policy. She wrote: ‘The next impulse will find a
numerous and united body of people ready to welcome the new
torch-bearer of Truth. He will find the minds of men
prepared for his message, a language ready for him in which
to clothe the new truths he brings, an organization awaiting
his arrival, which will remove the merely mechanical,
material obstacles and difficulties from his path.’ That was
the view of one of our Founders--really of both--as to ‘the
future of the Theosophical Society,’ and my crime is that I
share it, and do what my poor powers permit in preparing the
minds of men for that coming.”

5. In particular the German Section of the
Theosophical Society, led by Rudolf Steiner, expressed its
intolerance towards members of the Order of the Star, by stating
that membership of both organizations was mutually exclusive.
This policy was obviously contrary to the principle of freedom
of thought and association, a cornerstone of the Theosophical
Society. The defiant stand taken on this issue by the German
Section led eventually to the cancellation of their charter.

6. During the Jubilee Convention of the
Theosophical Society in 1925 a message originating from an
Adept was read to the participants. This happened a few days
before December 28, when the first overshadowing of Krishnamurti
by the Lord Maitreya occurred. A part of the message reads:
“A second half-century of fine
promise lies before you. We say to you: You have the power
to do more in the immediate future than any other body of
men and women has ever achieved before. We say to you:
Within this next half century you can make Brotherhood a
living reality in the world. You can cause the warring
classes, castes, and nations to cease their quarreling, the
warring faiths to live once more in brotherhood, respect and
understanding. Make Theosophy a living force in your lives,
and through your example those class and caste distinctions,
which for so long have bred hatred and misery, shall at no
distant time come to be but distinctions of function in the
common service of the nation-family and of the
World-Brotherhood... ."
"It is the Law that Our Blessed
Lord comes among you, be His welcome what it may, though
even he may not outstay His welcome. And only at long
intervals, so far, has He been able to bestow upon you the
priceless benediction of His immediate presence in your
midst. We have to wait. So be it. Yet, if His welcome lasts,
perchance grows, He may dwell long with you, and the doors
thus be flung wide open between Our world and your, and
between other worlds and yours, that they may become one
world, Ourselves restored to Our natural place among Our
younger comrades, and Devas and mankind be once more
together in happy comradeship.”

Theosophical Society from an Elder Brother,” The Theosophist

Instead of opening, he slammed the door in Their face.

7. Geoffrey Hodson wrote in 1927:
“As he [Krishnamurti] speaks,
the spirit of the Christ descends, as a great collective
inspiration, into the hearts and minds of all. It draws
nearer and nearer in a great ring-shaped cloud of golden
light. It hovers over our heads, descends still lower,
slowly and gently, like a warm summer rain, till all are
enwrapped in its beauty, its peace and all-compelling
love... . Night after night, as he ceases to speak, a
miracle occurs. Two thousand sevenhundred people remain
perfectly still. In that silence the splendor of splendors
is revealed to the inner eyes. The figure of the Lord
appears above the head of Krishnaji. The silence deepens. We
are enfolded in His embrace, filled with tenderness and
compassion as he draws near.”

Theosophical Publishing House, 1929), pp. 107-108.
Leadbeater wrote in 1930:

there is no need to look elsewhere; as I have said, I know
that the World-Teacher often speaks through Krishnaji, but I
also know that there are occasions when He does not.”

Some have almost become intellectual snobs, for they do not

they have such and such teaching that other earthlings do
not have. This was never the Brotherhood’s intent in the

connecting on one side the story of the Adepts’ involvement
with the Theosophical Society and Krishnamurti from 1875 till
1929, and on the other side the story of Their involvement with
the Ballards, Innocente, the Prophets and the Shearers from 1930
till the present. The rationale of the Masters’ changing
allegiance to their embodied representatives is as follows:
“The Ascended Masters are the
authority of the true teacher and the true messenger. We
release the energy, the light, the teaching, the
initiations, and the discipline to and through our
representatives. If at any time the teacher or the messenger
who has surrendered his human will to the divine will should
elect to take back that human will, our dispensation will
terminate. The light...would be withdrawn and the trained
disciple would receive the certain sign of hierarchy that
the instrument had become a dry reed, hollow and without the
authentic vibration and backing of the entire Spirit of the
Great White Brotherhood... . Stand beneath the waterfall and
receive unreservedly the flow of the hierarchy of Aquarius
that comes through our embodied messengers. When the
waterfall ceases to flow, move on, for hierarchy will not be
stopped. We will open another stream and prepare a channel
for the crystal-clear waters of life.”

Universal and Triumphant over the years. Some of us, and
perhaps most of us who participated in the study, brought
certain negative stereotypes along with us on our first trip
to Montana [where the Church has its headquarters]. Yet,
once there, our preconceptions quickly evaporated in the
encounter with a group of generally very likable,
intelligent, flesh-and-blood human beings. ... Beyond simple
positive intentions, I think they have managed to establish
one of the most intrinsically interesting religious
communities to come into being in this century. The range
and complexity of their worldview, just to mention one facet
of the Church, deserves a half-dozen studies of the length
we have undertaken in the present volume.”
