CHAPTER 16. ATHEISM, THEISM AND REALITY
the new house. If it had happened gradually over time his parents would not have been so frightened.
And even more intriguing was that as soon as he was taken from the new house for a while he was
his old self again. He was okay when he was brought to me. The young man himself said that in my
presence he was feeling fine but the moment he entered that house everything turned upside down.
I put the young man under hypnosis and questioned him for a while. A harrowing story emerged
from the session and it stretches over a period of eleven hundred years.
This new house where the young man lives is a haunted house. The spirit which haunts it happened
to be the owner of the land on which the present house stands. And for these eleven hundred years
this spirit has been continuously engaged in getting members of a particular family murdered. He
has, up to now, thirty five murders to his credit, spread over many generations. The spirit said that
he would not leave this young man until he committed a murder for him.
Eleven centuries ago, members of the family that happen to be targets of the ghost’s vendetta had
murdered him on this very farm. Since then his ghost has been continuously camping here busy
avenging his own death. And the ghost takes every care to trace the members of the family as they
are born and reborn and gets them killed through such mediums as this young man.
Evil souls send their own messages and do their own things. Many times you are made to do things,
good or bad. You think you did them. No, you are made to do these things by bodiless souls that
lurk around everywhere. Sometimes you are amazed at your own performance. Never mind others,
you yourself refuse to believe that you could do such a great thing. In fact some bodiless soul is
behind it; he is getting it done through you.
There is nothing wrong in Bailey’s statement, but she cannot prove its authenticity. No one can, Not
even Madame Blavatsky could do it with the large volume of such messages she had received.
In this context I will explain further an event which I mentioned a little while ago. I said that a
great experiment was being carried out with Krishnamurti and it failed. The venture was such that
any number of godly souls got themselves involved in it in a concerted way. They were trying to
see to it that a consciousness of the height of Buddha, Mahavira or Krishna enters the person
of Krishnamurti. In fact, such a consciousness was already waiting for an opportunity like this. A
promise given by Buddha before he left his physical body was close to its time of fulfill ment. Buddha
had said that after twenty-five hundred years, he would visit this earth once again in the name of
Maitreya.
So Buddha’s own soul, his own incarnation, has been waiting to come here in the form of Maitreya
But a suitable body, a right medium for his incarnation was not available. Theosophy’s whole
planning and efforts for a hundred years were consecrated in the search of a medium for Maitreya’s
incarnation. So they worked on four or five persons, but they failed in every case. They spent most
of their attention and energy on Krishnamurti, but they could not succeed.
The most important reason for the failure of this great effort was the effort itself; the theosophists
really overdid it. All those who were involved in this venture concentrated their efforts on
Krishnamurti and pressured him so much that his individuality revolted against them. Krishnamurti
reacted and said a big No.
