Hi Terrie

Your e-mails! Rather like the sun peeping out from behind they dark black
clouds. They warm the soul. Thanks.

You initially wrote:
<<<I think/feel that HPB's materials are
a worldly, enlightening and unbias resourse AND that what she has
written is in fact a tremendous accumulation of reason and wisdom AND
quite a respectable gift to have accomplished/offered on up - it's an
inspiration, even today.>>>

Alas, what seemed a reasonable statement, has turned into a rather tacky
conversation about bias. Like you, biased is not something I would use
about or attribute to H.P.B. We do know she had tremendous powers of
discrimination:), and where you might well use discrimination, another might
use bias. The books you read may be to do with your discriminatory powers,
rather than with bias. The sun view is different to the black clouds view.
Bias is below the belt, discrimination above the head. Roget is not law.

I have read some Olcott, and been to several talks given by Krishnamurti.
It is nice to dip into lots of different things, but there is no particular
reason why anyone should feel the need to read Krishnamurti from the
Theosophical point of view. Olcott did a wonderful job as an
administrator, and also did mesmeric healing and other great things.
But H.P.B. was the Occultist, was of the inner side, so to put it. Here in
London it is warm, and the happy waitress serving the coffees to us outside
in Soho was from Mauritius, and was demanding to see some snow. It is always
supposed to snow at Christmas here, but rarely does. There is something
magical about snow. Is it something to do with the fact that every
snowflake is a geometrical shape. It is very like H.P.B's writings. They
are full of symbols and geometrical shapes, sounds and colours, pictures,
and so on. As snow flakes are so beautiful, think by how much more so are
the thought flakes in "The Secret Doctrine" and "The Voice of the Silence,"
and All works of That occult or hidden Nature.

Keep shining
Tony
