Bart :

Very good e-mail and I did apreciated your opinions.
I agree that we cannot be narrow-minded in only one direction but we must take the best referrences too.
Wisdom is spread everywhere as much as untruths are.
If we observe cautiously the world as mere watchers we can undersand many things, and it is the " life-university." as many say.

I think yes. I have read most of them and found them useful while 
there are some thinhs which I couldn't agree with. But I can say this 
almost about any book. There never was a book that had no any doubtful 
points for me.

There's an article "Pseudo-occultism of Alice Bailey" by A. Cleather
(see http://www.theosophy.ca , where you will find a big theosophical 
library). Naturally she is arguing strongly against Bailey, but she 
also says that the teachings by Bailey and Leadbeater are essentially 
the same, and I agree with her in that point. So, if you find the 
works by Leadbeater & Besant suitable and useful for you, you can 
surely study works by AAB too.
