Theos-Talk Archives (October 2004 Message tt00142)

Dear Suvarna:



You ask:



"Can I have queries such as why there are these differences in what HPB said
and what Leadbeater had to say?"



There are very important differences.



I would recommend familiarizing yourself thoroughly with HPB's The KEY TO
THEOSOPHY and The VOICE OF THE SILENCE -- then you will know what she
taught on behalf of the Masters of Wisdom.



Compare that with what CWL or AB wrote. You will detect the differences.



There is however a book available that pin-points those differences. But it
will not do you much good unless you are well grounded in what THEOSOPHY
teaches. And the first and best place to secure that is direct from HPB
herself.



This book was issued in 1923 5 by Margaret Thomas an old student of HPB she
was disturbed by the differences that had occurred in the presentation of
THEOSOPHY.



"THEOSOPHY OR NEO-THEOSOPHY "



Ity is available through Daniel Caldwell's archives.



But I recommend you first study and KNOW what HPB taught.



Best wishes,



Dallas

Hello Dallas,



I have been reading articles by HPB, Annie Besant and Leadbeater.

I have also read what Steiner has to say.



I started reading Ramana Maharshi teachings. To expand on my theoretical
knowledge I read upanishads. Well, quite some reading. The only purpose
being to correlate what all philosophers say, because there has to be a
common line of TRUTH.



Can I have queries such as why there are these differences in what HPB said
and what Leadbeater had to say?



Regards



Suvarna
