Theos-Talk Archives (March 2001 Message tt00006)

When in doubt study.

H.P.B. gives all the information one could use if we decide to
find out it is valid and useful.

To depend on another's say so, is to have confidence in an
authority unchecked, unverified.

H.P.B. and ORIGINAL THEOSOPHY invite both study and checking, and
demand no blind adherence, If you desire to know what THEOSOPHY
teaches (as from the Masters and H.P.B.) then go to what they
write. It is possible for anyone, as most of the texts are on
line through BLAVATSKY.NET.

But this study has to be done by the individual him or herself --
and one cannot (WITHOUT DANGER) rely on what any one else says.
How can one know if the interpreter that one selects is reliable?
Only by comparing what the write with the ORIGINALS. How else
can one do it ?

Well, when one considers that the "secret doctrine" (the
doctrine
itself as opposed to Blavatsky's book about the secret doctrine)
is the
correct interpretation of Theosophy, then Blavatsky didn't have
it, the
Mahatmas didn't have it, and certainly those who came later
didn't have
it.
