Re: Theos-World Re: Master Koot Hoomi authorizes publication of those portions of his letters dealing with the teachings

there are 2 points here:
1. permission granted is for the "use" of material in
the books or essays you intend writing on theosophy
and allied subjects.
2. They say, elsewhere, that they are not infallible.
information is provided as "data" nd you have to
verify, examine and make it ring true to you. That is
not to be taken "on authority."
Contemporary writers know all this.
The main issue of ULY not studying the Letters is also
getting revoked. What TS calls "A MAHACHOHAN'S LETTER"
is available "A Master of Masters Letter" in the ULT
pamphlet series.
Above all, if we close ourselves to the valuable
information provided by them, wo are the losers, not
They.
