The third principle to be discussed is the
one of the preparation and execution of the coming of a
great religious teacher. In the timeline of our discussion
this event is the World Teacher project. This principle
is almost identical with the Centennial Principle. The difference
being that the spiritual impulse is channeled through a
major religious teacher working in the open. This event
is predicated on the genuineness of the project with Krishnamurti.
An alternative interpretation would be that it was not genuine
and therefore a opposition to real Theosophy. This was Steiner's
contention.
