Theos-Talk Archives (August 2001 Message tt00023)

Some time ago, I was 'invited' to join a theosophical/spiritual maillist
discussion group subscription to which is by invitation only. While I
felt honored by the invitation, (I do not like being part of any
exclusive club) I declined the invitation since I felt that generally
theosophy and spiritual discussions should be done in open forums so
that everyone can benefit.

>From time to time one receives private e-mail relative to
theosophical/spiritual matters marked confidential or private or secret
or super secret or some such designation since the originator does not
want or is afraid of unfavorable publicity. Sometime one cannot even
verify if the originator is a real person or an assumed name trying to
disguise the real identity. Again it has been my general personal belief
and policy that all theosophical and spiritual matters should be
discussed in the open as such I have told my correspondents that I
reserve the right to disclose or quote the material in the e-mail since
it would be of benefit to everyone in the maillists. And this policy has
worked very well so far and has cut down private e-mail on theosophical
or spiritual matters.

Just thought I should share with everyone.
