Dear M.


Thanks Mark -- understood -- no ambiguity.

Study of symbols is valuable (see SECRET DOCTRINE (on
Swastika) I pp 4-6,411, 433, 529, 657, and, S D II 29-31,
99-101, 413fn, 586-7, 546, 558,

Best wishes,

Dal

Hi Dallas & All,

In my e-mail I refer to the 'perceived Swastika' and the
'close
resemblence'. I attempted to draw reference to the
misconception of laymen
and newcomers who do not intially distinguish the difference
and who may
well associate - abeit on a subconscious level, the TS
emblem and the
Swastika.

Apologies for any confusion caused by my ambiguity.

Love to all,

Mark








Hi Dal & All,

My apologies for confusion. In my e-mail I refer to the
'perceived
Swastika' and the 'close resemblence'. I am aware of the
diffferences. I
referred to the misconception of laymen and newcomers who do
not intially
distinguish the difference.

Love to all,

Love to all,
