Theos-Talk Archives (January 2002 Message tt00081)

Hi, Steve and all of you,

Thank you for your answer.
But, Steve what kind of "involvment" do we talk about ? In what manner was Blavatsky associated with Randolph. Is there any reason to suggest, that Blavatsky considered Randolph as her teacher - or did she just quote some of his - words or materials - just to attract - seekers of visdoms teaching, -or are there other important issues going in to the picture here ??
Do you suggest that Blavatsky considered Prandolph as a teacher - and if so, what is that based on - a few remarks etc. or something more substantial ??

I think that Blavatsky's writings to a great extent were done - with due respect for the present curcumstances on the Planet. But - I do'nt think she really seriously considered Randolph a teacher - ever since 1874 and onwardto 1891. (maybe Akasha - I am 100% certain.)
