ABSTRACT

Leadbeater believed that Krishnamurti's teachings were destructive and dangerous. Leadbeater and Mrs Besant had been in Geneva they met with the representative of the Point Loma Society. Leadbeater's final attempt to achieve his desired effect of merging the idea of a community of young people with ceremonial work came in his last group of pupils. Leadbeater planned that the Egyptian Rite would draw together the angels of the Church's ceremonial and those of Co-Masonic working. Most Theosophical journals excelled themselves in hymns of praise to Mrs Besant, the Canadian Theosophist, ever and a thorn in Adyar's side. Leadbeater concluded what was to be his last year with further occult chemistry work. Leadbeater's condition continued to decline, and he wras unable to see anyone other than Morton. The mortal remains of Leadbeater were distributed between The Manor, Adyar and Huizen, with a portion being placed behind a memorial tablet on the wall of the Liberal Catholic Church in Perth, Western Australia.
