Please Note: This post is in the Open Door archive “INO Schism.” It is part of the record of initiation and the 1989 succession. The letters are critical of the views and conduct of several people and do not stand in for the work of the Order.
Read A Schism in the Transmission for the compiled account. Read on only if you want that record.
After reading the confession of Joe of New York that Mike (Magee) had initiated him as a sadhu, yogi, sanyasi of an Hindu Sampradaya, that many of the initiations in UK are not the transmission of the ancient communities of India, but some spurious play of his own invention, I hope this mess will soon be cleared up under the trio of developed people I have appointed. I myself am too old to play silly games with Mike (Magee). So I have handed over the ION leadership to [the] capable. Shambhala Tapovan will no longer be open to people playing holy men or knights in rusty armour. I will, of course, even remain available to disciples and all who have received the authentic Nath Order transmission which has been received by a properly initiated member of ION.
