Theos-Talk Archives (October 1999 Message tt00009)

What a coincidence! In ML 65, you find the following statement:

"It is an old truism that none of you have ever formed an accurate idea of
either the "Master" or the laws of Occultism they are guided by."

What a precise and definite statement!!!

So, before we try to comment on Their actions or try to critique what they
did or did not do, it may be good to keep the above in mind.
