Born on June 25, 1885, she was the great-niece of Isabella Stewart Gardner whose Victorian mansion is now one of the leading Renaissance art museums in the East. Catharine, however, came to the health spa at Wheeler Springs, California in 1927 and immediately fell in love with it. After five y ears, around 1932, she fell in love with and married Billy Mayes, another theosophist, and together was idyllic as they helped build Krotona to the establishment it is today." (from Krotona, Theosophy & Krishnamurti 1927-1931 Archival Documents of the theosophical Society's Esoteric Center. " by Joseph E. Ross) "{It was about a year before the Primrose building went up that Alice Bailey, subsequently a Theosophical and Spiritualist leader and author, moved to a "cottage on Beechwood Drive," to be near the Krotona colony, from Pacific Grove, CA, near Monterey. She had joined the Theosophical Lodge in Pacific Grove and was teaching and holding classes. Not long before, she tells, she had left her original traditional Christian beliefs behind and soon after "discovered" "that there was a great and divine Plan," and that there are those "who are responsible for the working out of that Plan" by leading mankind, "stage by stage," down the centuries. This "hierarchy of spiritual leaders" she calls the "Masters of the Wisdom," and they all report to and work with Christ, Jesus of Nazareth. Her own Master, Lord K. H. Or Koot Hoomi, had made visits to her every few years, starting she said in 1895, this being one of his many duties in his role as a pupil or assistant to the Christ. K. H. Was a master of love-wisdom. Bailey said about 500 people were then part of the Krotona community, some living on the premises, and she began work there by emptying the garbage. Soon she worked in the vegetarian kitchen and noted that some of the vegetarians felt smugly superior to carnivores, while others had no such notions. She remained with the Theosophical Society until 1920." (from Wikipedia). Very Good .
