"Creme’s telepathic communications with his Master and Maitreya can be seen in the same light as the communications of Blavatsky, Leadbeater and Bailey with various Masters from the hierarchy... Creme’s belief that the Maitreya would manifest on Earth can be found in Besant and Leadbeater; but where the latter held that the Maitreya would overshadow Krishnamurti, Bailey maintained that the Christ would return in his own physical body... For Bailey, the Christ announced his imminent reappearance at the height of the World War of 1914–1945, in order to try to re-establish peace and harmony and to usher in the new Aquarian Age."
