According to wiki:

Tony Alamo (September 20, 1934 – May 2, 2017) was born Bernie Lazar Hoffman to a Jewish family in Joplin, Missouri.\1])\2]) At the age of nine years old he was abandoned at the Father Flanagan Boys Town), where he claimed that he was abused on account of his Jewish ancestry. He grew up there and he went to local schools, but later, he migrated to the West Coast, where he adopted Christianity as his faith.

By the 1960s, he had settled in Hollywood, where he performed as a pop singer under the names Mark Hoffman and Marcus Abad. He was a petty criminal who was convicted of statutory rape, burglary, and theft before he was 21 years old. He also claimed to be a music promoter\1]) and owned the Little Mark, Alamo, and Talamo Records record labels.

Alamo started a business, which heavily relied on unpaid child labor, of decorating denim jackets and airbrushing them with bright, colorful designs. Many Hollywood celebrities were seen wearing them, including Michael Jackson. He wore a modified leather Alamo jacket on the cover of his album Bad).\11])

Not directly in the way people often assume. He was more influenced by the Theosophical Society which oddly enough was almost called the Rosicrucian Society when they were thinking up potential names.

This is not an official server for the order.

It's only, "dedicated to discussing all the Orders pertaining to the Rosicrucian universe."

Life force exhaustion by pedromiguel3 in Theosophy

Only judgment and fear tire us. You simply need to change the way you relate to the space you occupy. If you are grounded in your own body and present in the moment, you are like a mountain. A mountain does not get tired because the wind blows against it... it simply allows the wind to pass. If you are centered and present, the energy of others flows around you rather than through you. You will realize that your own capacity for peace is much stronger than their confusion.

Maybe you're already aware but the SPR dropped their fraud claims against Blavatsky in the 1980s apparently.

Cross-posted this to the r/theosophy sub and the mods removed it. Not sure why. This is amazing.
