Theos-Talk Archives (August 1999 Message tt00039)

Thanks Dallas for your kind response to my post earlier. I do not have your
perspective on these matters being relatively new to this list.

With the expanding discoveries being made in archeology and natural
sciences... astronomy, I feel it is very important to keep apprised of
changing developements in these fields, such as the discoveries of the Nag
Hammadi scrolls that supplement the work of GRS Mead. I feel a lot of
theosophists and other esoteric students with the exception of Hoeller have
basically ignored them.

Manichaean scrolls are turning up in Central Asia.

Most recently the Buddhist scrolls were discovered in Afganistan in the
Kharoshti script, a derivative of Aramaic characters. The Buddhist
documents turn out to be the earliest surviving written records of the
Buddha's teachings.

I commend you for your work!
