Sept 8th 1998

Dear Rodolfo:

I am glad to learn that Krishnamurti has the same opinion
concerning Manas (mind) as you say.  Have you had the opportunity
of comparing those important statements of his with what HPB
states in KEY TO THEOSOPHY ?  If you have can you let me know if
there are any differences ?

Thanks,

Dallas

I hope you have the KEY and the INDEX to it ?  I can send if you
do not.

I agree with you, Dallas: MANAS (MAN) touches both: SPIRIT and
MATTER and
we should find out everything that we can about MANAS (MAN). We
should
learn about memory, beliefs, TRUTH, and so on. Krishnamurti gives
very
important instructions on how to deal with the mind (as a tool).
Krishnamurti's teachings hold a key (a very important one) for
practical
theosophy. The mind has to be transformed before we can use it to
perceive
TRUTH. Without TRUTH all we have is a set of beliefs, and we have
to be
brave enough to drop those beliefs and stand naked.  Then, we can
start our
search for TRUTH.

I'll be very happy to continue this discussion.
