Theos-Talk Archives (June 2003 Message tt00216)

Hi,

You talk a lot about true theosophists - your version of them doesn't 
seem quite human.

Of course it matters who writes what. If a mahatma writes about their 
own work that it should not be studied, that is quite a different 
matter than somebody else saying: this shouldn't be studied. I think 
it is far more reasonable to say: study and find out for yourself.
