Theos-Talk Archives (November 2001 Message tt00513)

Brigitte you write:

"However Godwin in 'The Theosophical Enlightenment' one of the best 
books in the field together with the books by Deveney 
mentions: 'Sotheran- knew of things that Colonel Olcott did not, and 
that the Colonel was being manipulated in order to enroll him in the 
program that she (Blavatsky) and her 'Brothers of Luxor' were 
promoting.' (The Theosophical Enlightenment" p. 292)"

But Brigitte please tell us HOW Dr. Godwin himself KNOWS
that "Sotheran knew of things that Colonel did not", etc.?

What original source by Sotheran is Dr. Godwin referring to that 
documents this statement by Dr. Godwin?

I have corresponded with Dr. Godwin and he has kindly shared some of 
his material with me. And he writes many interesting things in the 
above mentioned book but that does not mean that the perceptive 
reader should not ask what are the specific primary sources on which 
Dr. Godwin makes such generalized statements as the one you cite 
above.
