Brenda, thank you again for your information. You may kindly
note that the quotations I made from HPB are from the
original English books. And I also named the sources, f.e.
the BCW. What is wrong with that?
Why do you know that I don't enjoy all spiritual studies?
HPB brought the same teachings as Jesus, Krishna, the Buddha
and St. Germain. They are in harmony. I feel HPB had any
right to warn the students against pseudo teachings. What is
wrong with that? Every teacher has the duty to do, otherwise
he/she would break the rules of occult law. Every teacher is
pledged to awaken the chela's discrimination - it is the
first presupposition before a pupil is able from within to
receive.

As I said before, I have any respect for the opnions of
others and it is self-evident that you are free to believe
what you like. Who am I to deny this? My only reason was to
let me know who you come to your conclusions that HPB acted
as a medium, that St. Germain is a master and about rounds &
races. I drawed attention not to my own believe, but rather
to the original sources. I can't understand why seem to be
worry about this. Is it forbidden to compare different
teachings? Why do you qualify my questions and my comparings
with the statements of HPB as "applaud"? In turn I could
said you are applauding to I AM and ignore prejustly HPB's
and Masters teachings.
Comparing study prevents against "make belief". Looking for
"authentication" is not an open minded way. It is also
contradict to HPB and the masters, which are teaching
universalism and the greatest freedom.
When someone spreads teachings which seems contradict to the
accumulated teachings of the Ancient Wisdom, you should
allow another one to ask for the reasons. Theosophy is ever
logically, therefor we can understand it with our minds.

I sense you allow no critical questions. One has to "accept"
blindly what someone is saying. My apologies for asking my
distinct questions. I hav'nt found a better way to learn
until now. And it is even a scientific way. Science works on
the same lines. When a scientist claims new theories he must
be able to explain if his claims are in harmony with the
experiences and proofs of other scientists. For example, if
I would now say that the theory of an expanding universe is
wrong, I have do bring facts and proofs and I must not
bludgeon all arguments with the words: Only applaud, applaud
to Einstein. And I read since theosophy's founding, too.
Again, you have any right not to answer my questions, but on
the other hand they are important to me while I compare the
various teachings/claims.
I now go on to comprise my detailed questions and present
them in the net. Perhaps is anybody else able to enlighten
me why the St. Germain of the I AM Temple spreads teachings
which are not in harmony to the other masters. A riddle.

Best wishes, Frank
