Theos-Talk Archives (April 2002 Message tt00237)

Dear Friends:

There is no question but we are always learning from others.

In the case of theosophy, since H P B was its exponent, I would
recommend we all go to her to find out what she taught. What
could be simpler ?

Many have evolved their own ideas as to what theosophy might say,
but are those opinions "in line" with the original teachings by
the original teacher ?

Every one has to do the reading and the studying for themselves
and make up their own minds.

Opinions about Theosophy are many. The teaching of Theosophy was
the province and duty of one person: H P B.

And that's the position I take but, it is strictly for myself. I
also read what others say. And I compare those ideas with the
originals. Everyone has to do this for themselves. There is no
other way. But yes there is accepting the opinions or the say-so
of others without thought or checking. That is blind belief and
faith. It may or may not be true. But, WHAT DO WE ACTUALLY KNOW?
???????????????????????????
Not much, i'm afraid.
