For whatever it is worth, my first encounter with the Einstein-Secret
Doctrine connection was through the late Alfred Taylor. Dr. Taylor was
at the time the director of Krotona school. According to Taylor,
Einstein was his long time personal friend. Since, the great
mathematician was always sort of a hero figure to me, I especially
delighted in broaching the subject. So Dr. Taylor and I discussed
Einstein on several occasions. More than once Taylor described
Einstein's enthusiasm for the Secret Doctrine which, Taylor said,
Einstein referred to as his "bedtime reading."
