This is a book-length sort of topic, so I'll boil it down to essentials and solicit comments from anyone interested.
Basically, Bulwer-Lytton's son Robert was dispatched as viceroy to India and was engaged in the Second Anglo-Afghan War.
Britain was involved in the Great Game with Russia for influence over the subcontinent. In Tsarist Russia there was a push to take India, Britain consolidated it first, but Russia didn't entirely abandon the project and the theater of influence-battle shifted to Afghanistan because of the low-lying pass southwards from Kandahar by which the Persians had traditionally invaded India.
The Great Game is also the title of the book by Jimmy Carter's National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, who sent arms and money to attack the Communist but not Soviet government in Kabul, precipitating a Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
The Great Game in Afghanistan broke down into region, tribe and village level as the Russian Empire and British Empire fought for influence. Russia had just consolidated Kyrgyzistan, Tadjikistan and Uzbekistan as well as the Near Eastern countries in the Caucasus, and annexed the ancient Persian oasis of Merv claimed by Afghanistan. Afghanistan itself only formed as a sort of left-over smorgasbord of land too desolate or too fierce for the Great Powers to worry themselves over.
Bulwer-Lytton and other members of the British colonial aristocracy set their summer capital in India in a place called Simala, an apline village with skiing nearby. The town still has a number of British colonial architectural heritage sites. Alfred Percy Sinnett pops up there, as does Rudyard Kipling and other significant figures.
The thesis is basically this. While the Great Game was playing itself out in Afghanistan, there were players involved, mainly in India, who were engaged in a spiritual sort of warfare, for whichever side.
The main players would be Helena Petrovna Blavatskaya, then an American citizen but a Russian for all practical purposes. Nicholas Rurik/Nicholas Roerich/Nikolai Konstantinovich Rerik, a Russian who arrived via America and supposedly sent reports on matters of interest back to one of FDR's vice-presidents, concerning spiritual quests.
Alfred Percy Sinnett and Krishnamurti weren't players so much as instruments. The game Blavatsky played involved resurrecting the ancient idea of the secret council or brotherhood who run the world from behind the scenes. GRS Mead, another theosophist, wrote a rather sophisticated book called The World-Soul in support, although he doesn't seem a real part of the scheme. It essentially involved resurrecting Aśoka's legend of the Nine and their Nine Books of Forbidden Technology. H. G. Wells and others would also repopularize Aśoka, the famous king whose Lion Capital (capital of a pillar not a seat of power) is the symbol of modern India. Aśoka also built those famous sandstone Buddhas the Taliban razed in Afghanistan, to UNESCO's horror and dismay. (Rurik invented a cultural protection institution and formed an international treaty on cultural heritage protection that was basically the forerunner of UNESCO).
The game was to have these hidden Mahatmas (Blavatsky's term, before Gandhi, who was christened Mahatma probably because the term was current because of Blavatsky's endeavors) actually exert some pull, and a series of Mahatma letters began to appear, letters on paper, signed with initials, sent to Alfred Percy Sinnett and other real-world political players.
Rurik's game was simpler, he was involved in creating a joint origin, cultural and spiritual, for Russians and Indians. This would have served to make a merger easier. His involvement with the US is murky and he seems to have been mostly airbrushed out of American culture, although he ws very influential as a painter, writer and thinker during his time, which incidentally was a bit later than Blavatsky's time.
Balavatsky and her people seem to have decided Krishnamurti was their Maitreya on the basis of a founding member having seen his clear aura one day by accident. I rather think it had more to do with his appearing to be a tabula rasa the theosophists could write on, an empty vessel for them to fill, but in any case after a few world tours Krishnamurti himself abdicated as World Saviour.
Blavatsky also took the Vril concept and ran with it. Her theosophy also originally claimed that Africans and Australian natives were not part of the root races, so not true people. I haven't seen any indication that Blavatsky knew Rurik or Bulwer-Lytton, but most of these people ended up going through Simla.
If Blavaksty or Rurik were Russian agents, she would've been working for the Tsar and he for the Party, but that's not all that important here. What's important is the Great Game probably had spiritual aspects, and that secret spiritual councils sitting in Shangri-La, Shambala, Agartha or somewhere were sending out physical letters to influence policy.
The bigger dimension is post-WWII in the US.
Fred Crisman in his letters to Amazing Stories in the Shaver Mystery series hints at laser technology being used against him in Central Asia, and later in reference to the shooting down of the Army Air Corps craft returning to California after the Maury Island UFO investigation.
The ancient legend of the Nine includes Nine Books with secret knowledge of nine subjects, including lasers, propaganda, germ warfare/vaccines and so on.
What then happens in the US seems to me to replicate the model of using the Secret White Brotherhood in Shambala to influence British and Asian politics. This is Puharich's seance with Nine, but also concurrent events and phenomena. Frank Sarfatti is contacted by an artificial intelligence with a mechanical voice over the telephone who says it exists in a UFO in space. One of the early UFO contactees contacts the aliens telepathically and in seances, and begins relaying messages to the Pentagon, another moves from Princeton to California to work for a major defense contractor when he has his second encounter... In 1974, which forms a kind of symmetry with 1947, Philip K. Dick has a close encounter with an artificial intelligence that provides him information about aliens from Sirius, among other things. Dick thinks it might be a transmission from a satellite. Timothy Leary publishes the Starseed Transmissions around this time.
Back to Puharich. His group gets the inside dope on the Secret Council, the Nine. They reveal their interest in human welfare and deep ecology. They are in a UFO in space.
Puharich writes his The Sacred Mushroom as a spiritual whodunit, and if you compare it carefully with Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu, you'll see how he likely modeled his book on Lovecraft's story. He even uses some of the same words which Lovecraft calls Turanian, a sort of animalistic proto-human speech that gave rise to certain non-Indo-European languages later, such as Eskimo, Turkish, Bushman, etc. With that clue, we are to understand Puharich is having a nice joke on us and there is more to the book than just its superficial story and statements. So what lies under the surface of this tale of Egyptian atavism? Well, Puharich tells us he works for a biological weapons laboratory. He also conveys a vision of an ancient Egyptian god holding the sun over the ocean of the earth with all his might so it doesn't drop. This and elsewhere in his book he's casting Amanita muscaria as the proverbial mushroom cloud, the nuclear bomb.
Oh, and Puharich's Nine are racist. According to them, pure Africans don't have starseed origins like the rest of humanity does. It's Blavatsky all over again.
Do the Nine represent a reconfiguration of Blavatskyism for MKULTRA? Who exactly is fooling whom here, are the Inner Council with access to the spiritual Nine actually undergoing mind control under trance or using psychotronics? Is there an inner council of the Nine as human avatars who are perpetuating a scam on the outer rings? It's not hard to imagine how apotheosis would apeal to the American elites of 1952, but it is harder to explain whence they channeled unknown technologies, if in fact they did. So that brings up the possibility that there is something to the spiritual side of the scam or scheme or project, perhaps some sort of entities with access to alternate time streams, or some manner of dybbukim or fallen angels or what have you amsquerading as Egyptian deities.
And if the evil Nine exist, it sounds a lot like the gnostic myth of how the archons tried to assume power and act as aeons from the pleroma, creating a darkworld mirror of the light world. I think Plato says somewhere in the Repubic that the best tyranny perfects itself by mimicking nature.
Following up on the Nine's apparent program of action, judging from the television transmission by "Grahama" in the UK in the 70s, it's what conspiracy folk call Project Bluebeam. Bluebird-->Bluebeam. Grahama said they would contact every individual individually, as a voice in their head, and they would do so when the American stock market crashed. I guess they're behind schedule, or maybe somebody was just having a good belly laugh while television engineers were pulling their hair out trying to explain how the signal took over theirs and where it came from. Obama of course is the sort of empty vessel Krishnamurti was and would make a fine Maitreya in the theosophical tradition.
That's the basic outline of it. Comments, criticisms, suggestions and thoughts appreciated.

wikipedia Wrote:In September 1878, Lytton sent an emissary to Afghanistan who was refused entry. A month later in October 1878, he ordered an invasion which not only failed in its objective, but whose costs (and brutality) became a major issue in the defeat of Disraeli's Conservative government by Gladstone's Liberals in 1880. Lytton resigned with Disraeli.
