Theos-Talk Archives (July 2004 Message tt00453)

Perhaps you mentioned, but I did not see it, the ancient ruins that are being excavated in the center of Mexico City also. 
My humble apologies to those offended by my remarks or my manner in the previous message. This old Master Sergeant (and ex-Mormon) has to "let loose" once in awhile. The "Stanzas of Dzyan" and "The Scret Doctrine" itself have been my only firm foothold (almost my "scriptures") for nearly a lifetime. I get really defensive when I feel that they are not being treated fairly in our movement. I had the privilege of exploring Katinka's wedsite last night, and found all sorts of new material. I am thankful to all those who are our real scholars today, Dallas most of all, as well as Katinka and many others. I used to be a regular correspondent with Kirby van Mater years ago, but no longer have any of the letters. He was my mentor and lovingly taught me Theosophy as it ought to be. I feel that way now about our mentor and group owner. As to myself, well, "there's no fool like an old fool", huh?
