Theos-Talk Archives (June 2003 Message tt00214)

Hi Katinka and all of you,

My views:

Why do you ask ?
I think your question is unimportant.
If it is a Mahatma Letter, so what ?
If it is'nt a Mahatma Letter - who cares ?
It is what the text says and the impression the readers get, which at least
has importance.
Please let me know if I am wrong.

Some of the readers might get embarrassed because they thought differently.
But true Theosophists do not get embarrassed do they ?

M. Sufilight with peace and love...
