Dear Doss and Dallas,
perhaps my English is too bad, but that's not my point.
I agree with that you both wrote.
But I was trying to offer an explanation how Boris could have seen it.
I don't say it is right or wrong.
Please read my text again.
I was trying to say that there are rumours that Boris may have possibly
felt his inner duty to reveil something, considering that to his
understanding
the great majority of students of present day may have become unworth
for the deeper esoteric knowledge.
It is quite possible that you may be correct in your conclusion about
Boris. But, for me there are some serious questions.
I am sure that there is much in HPB's writings that can be understand by
one with a deep spiritual perception and those items of details for which
the public may not have been ready may already been veiled by the Adepts
who were behind much of HPB''s writings. As the original writings are
already in print, anyone interested can get hold of them and the cat is out
of the hat and cannot be put back. So however much Z may have been sincere
and may have been right, I think I will still go with the originals at the
same time be open to any new material anyone puts out. But to edit or
censor or veil something in the original works is something I would not
support.
HPB once said about the Gautama Buddha that in his compassion he gave
too much of the teachings and later regretted it.
Perhaps a simliar situation for Boris who may have felt the same with the
modern theosophical teachings.
While he may be sincere in his assumption, I still question any
organisation backing such editing and present the material as orginal
material to the unsuspecting novices.

We know it for a fact that there is a huge bulk of higher, esoteric
theosophical
teachings existsing on the outer plane, but unknown even to the theosophical
public. Who is that possible? The only satisfying explanation to me is that
we
are not ready for them.
We know that HPB wrote a history of the mystery schools of the past.
The texts are not there. Why?
We know that Purucker planned too to write the story of the mystery schools.
And there were many other plans too. Why do we not have it?
An answer limited to the restrictions of the physical plane, problems to
find
good coworkers, money etc. is not enough seen with theosophical eyes.
Hope, that makes a little bit clearer what I want to say.
