How Treason Took
Place
In the
Theosophical Movement
Alice Leighton
Cleather
Ms. Alice Leighton
Cleather (1846-1938) remained loyal to ethics
A 2013 Editorial Note:
The law of karma is
dynamic and no mistake is eternal, for the very purpose of life is to learn. As
a result of this, the theosophical movement is getting rid in the 21st century
of the organized falsity created by Annie Besant and her associates in the
1895-1934 period.
The victory of ethics was in part prepared by the
pioneers who, although unable to prevent a short-term victory of disloyalty, succeeded
in documenting facts so that the following generations could know them well and
act accordingly when the right time came.
Alice L. Cleather was a personal student of Helena
Blavatsky in London, and published various testimonies written in plain
language. Her 1922 book “H.P. Blavatsky:
A Great Betrayal” is a bright example of sincerity and love of truth. Ms.
Cleather deserves the gratitude of all theosophists for having chosen truth, instead
of mere politics.

H.P. Blavatsky: A Great Betrayal
Alice Leighton Cleather
Foreword
[September, 1922]
This Protest has been undertaken at the earnest and
repeated requests of Theosophical friends of long standing. They feel strongly
that the time has come for one of H. P. Blavatsky’s old pupils, who was a
member of her Inner Group [1], to
demonstrate as clearly as possible that the teachings promulgated for nearly
twenty years past by the present leaders of the “Theosophical Society” have
departed more and more from H.P.B.’s, and are now their direct antithesis,
particularly on the fundamental question of sex morality.
Since Mr. G. R. S. Mead, one of my fellow-members of the Inner Group,
spoke out at the Leadbeater Inquiry of 1906, and resigned, no other surviving
member, so far as I have been able to ascertain, has attempted to stem the
awful and ever increasing tide of horror and delusion, that is, engulfing - one
might almost say has
engulfed - Mrs. Besant’s Society. If Mr. Mead could say in 1906; - “We stand on
the brink of an abyss”, what is to be said now? The enquiries and researches I
have undertaken to enable me to write this pamphlet have revealed the present
state of things to be far worse than I could have imagined possible.

In September 2016, after a careful analysis of the state of the
esoteric movement worldwide, a group of students decided to form the Independent Lodge of Theosophists,
whose priorities include the building of a better future in the different
dimensions of life.
