Theos-Talk Archives (August 2001 Message tt00104)

Dear Friends:


Obviously there are contrasting opinions which at this point in
time can only be settled by looking at and studying the writings
of the several individuals. Any other method is adopting
opinions, over which we can have no control, as the writers of
those opinions are no longer with us to defend or to explain.

Get a copy of Mr. Crosbie's THE FRIENDLY PHILOSOPHER, or his
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS AT AN INFORMAL "OCEAN OF THEOSOPHY" CLASS.
and see how you would rate it on your own reading. Get also a
copy of any one else's writings. Read and compare.

If this is done, then each reader can form his own estimate of
their respective worth. What could be fairer ?

Best wishes,

Dallas

I take it then that the author of the book is Mr. Crosbie?

I have noticed that it is a terrible hatchet job, and extremely
biased. I was wondering whether it was the work of a single
author, or
of a committee.

It will be interesting to see, in my further reading, whether Mr.
Crosbie writes in a more restrained manner when he writes
something
that he attaches his name to.

This is an interesting example of "anonomous" writing, where one
does
not know the personal biases of the author.
