Theos-Talk Archives (January 2005 Message tt00790)

Pedro, if all of the stuff is in the British 
Library under Mead's name, even that is not 
entirely satisfactory because one has to have 
research credentials to gain access to the British 
Library. How then do ordinary folks get hold of 
this material?

The suppresssion then has at least kept the 
material out of the hands of all those who do not 
have access to the British Library, a pretty 
successful suppression indeed.

And why do you know that Mead's letters which may 
be stored in the BL are THE SAME letters which 
Adyar in The Hague and Adyar HQ are hiding from 
reasearch?

And finally let's don't lose the point, which is: 
If you or Gregory Tillett cannot tell us EXACTLY 
where all the material is, then the suppression 
has plainly succeeded. AND if we would have to 
climb mountains to actually obtain copies of the 
material, then the suppression has plainly 
succeeded.

This is the typical Adyar rhetoric:They act like 
they know everything, but then not actually share 
their knowledge with us. That's my point. NOT 
share what they know.
Would you are Greogry Tillet send me or other list 
members here copies? And if you do not have 
copies, why not, if they are so easy to get.

Frank

Well, it is a bit difficult to regard the British 
Library in London as
a "non-answer".

Also, please remember that Mead was the EDITOR of 
"The Theosophical
Review" and he provided FULL space in the magazine 
for the Leadbeater
critics, which included William Kingsland, Bertram 
Keightley and A.R.
Orage, besides his own editorial comments. He also 
provided space for
Annie Bessant's articles and replies. The "Review" 
was widely read at
that time and therefore influential among TS 
membership.

No, the Archives at Adyar were not affected by the 
tsunami, and
equally no, I don't know where the original 
letters are. But would the
British Library accept inauthentic copies of 
documents as part of its
collection?

Pedro
