Event VI:
Contingency Plan

This principle is close to the Principle of the Centennial Effort. Some Centennial Efforts can build on the success of its antecedent, like the 1175-1275 period building on the success of 1075, and the 1475-1575 Efforts building on 1375. Some work out Contingency Plans, like the 1375 Effort with Rosenkreuz being a Contingency Plan for the failed Gothic Age and the 1675 start of the Enlightenment being a Contingency Plan for the failed Rosicrucian Renaissance.

Question is whether the Contingency Plan with Ballard and those following him will constitute a continuation of the Theosophical Enlightenment or will stand on its own. My feeling is that the HPB-Leadbeater-Ballard-Prophet story should be seen as a continuum, with a problematic intermezzo with K's World Teacher Project. It might turn out that the HPB-Leadbeater-K story will be seen as a unit and the Ballard-Prophet story as a separate, though related story.
