Sorry, that I really don't know - because it is untrue. HPB was very eager
with the ES, calling it "the heart of the TS".

When you think the ES is only an another organization the it seems to me as
if you not aware of what an ES really is. And your assume that only HPB and
Judge were good leaders of the ES is only your personal view, based on
presumtions and avidya. The more it is not logically. Why should the Great
Ones establish the ES and forget it only a few years later? Do you think the
occult wheels all stood still this then? That no more teachings were given?
That humanity was let alone? That is not the policy of them as it is
attested by hundreds of intelligent pupils over the decades. All what you
say is just a feeble try to justify the Long actions (whom you desribed
former as a shiva).

I know (really) some individuals which are saying that Adolf Hitler was ever
most loving and compassionate. So I am not so much impressed of the
subjective views about any persons and I consider first their actions. By
their fruits you shall know them. It is really very sad to see that, reading
your emails, obviously the Pasadena TS has invented such new teachings about
karman etc. and has such an exoterical view on HPB.
have you any proof for your claims about HPB and the ES as described above?
Would like to read it.
