Theos-Talk Archives (March 2000 Message tt00051)

Daniel,
all I said was that I found much poppycock in the of KPJ, and when he
recommends the Maroney book and furthermore I find in the announcement HPB
in the same line as E. Prophet, Crowley and Lovelock then it is a waste of
time, energy and money for me as we hear such kind of cover ups every day.
Maroney seems to be not one who has a deeper knowledge about HPB and what
Theosophy is.
And that is perhaps a helpful warning for newbies not too waste too much
with such questionable bad books.
Only my opinion, others may other.
Would like to know what is really new and worth to consider.
