Theos-Talk Archives (December 1996 Message tt00053)

Jerry,

I though there may be some connection between your thinking and
Heidegger's thought, for two reasons:

1) Heidegger is in many respects a forerunner of postmodernism;
and

2) he was much more ontologically oriented and sensitive to such
issues as reality, being, and truth than French thinkers, which
is a plus: it's evident that anyone seriously studying Theosophy
cannot be content with a mere textual analysis of HPB's writings.
