Dear Compiler:
Many thanks for the email message.
You have done a great service by compiling the series. I became familiar with the work as pamphlets when I visited a metaphysical library. I was studying about some of the heroes you have mentioned. I requested a xeroxed copy from the library of one of the articles, but for a reason which I do not consider good, it was denied though I was willing to pay for it. You have filled this gap.
These articles, I believe, are from the magazine called "Theosophy". In 1999 and 2000 I was in a library many times. I went through them. The articles that you have put on web are really in a simple, direct and effective language. In the "Theosophy" magazine there are two articles on Giordano Bruno. I compared both of them. They are not the same. I would like to suggest that you also put the second one on the web. I made a hand written copy of the one that is not on the web. I do not know where I have placed it in my storage.
I am forwarding your message to other groups similar to theos-talk@yahoo.com so that more people will know about your good work.
Thanking you,
Yours truly,
Jayananda H. Hiranandani

I hope that many readers, especially
newcomers to theosophy, will find
this important, unique, and very
informative series of 29 articles,
entitled "GREAT THEOSOPHISTS", which
are article numbers (130) to (158) in
the 166-article "Setting the Stage"
Introductory book on my WisdomWorld.org
web site, taken from THEOSOPHY magazine,
to be very informative and useful. Why?
Because "this series basically paints a
specific picture by telling a clear and
provable story of relationship between
Theosophy and mostly western civilization
for the last few thousand years -- but
mostly for the last 2,000 years, the
Christian era." This is a series that
no one should miss.

Dear newcomers to Theosophy:
I sincerely do hope that my web site offers
a well-rounded overall view of Theosophy and
the Theosophical Movement. The 3 main links
to everything on it are found below.
Please know that I'm only the compiler of
all the articles found on my web site; I'm
not a scholar; and also that I personally
do not like to take part in conversations,
even though I do hope that what I present
from time to time will help a little in
the discussions being carried on by others.
So please do not be insulted when I do not
respond if someone addresses me, or addresses
anything that is found in any of the articles
on my web site; I leave that for others to
deal with if they want to -- whether pro, con,
neutral, friendly or unfriendly.

You may find a great deal of the Truth that you
are searching for here:
WisdomWorld.org web site (Main Page):
http://www.wisdomworld.org
This is the Index page of the "Introductory",
"Setting the Stage" book, which was especially
compiled for newcomers to Theosophy:
http://www.wisdomworld.org/setting.html
The page where "Additional" articles are slowly
being added (which contains 18 sections that
can each be clicked on at the top of the page
in order to go directly down to them, as well
as to get the link to any particular section
that you may want to use in a posting on a
discussion board, or in an e-mail to someone):

"PUBLIC & PRIVATE ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT FORUM":
This next link is to the most updated version of my
economic proposal to humanity, a practical project
to help our suffering world that I also consider
to be Theosophical. In it you will find a new and
unique, but mostly unknown, economic system
model that might be able to put an end to involuntary
poverty on earth. How? It presents a way to fully
finance everything of importance that is needed
in every nation. Because of this it's well worth
pointing to. Please note that, for strategic
reasons, of wanting it to have the best chance
of being accepted by all peoples worldwide,
no matter what their religious, philosophical,
and scientific beliefs are, I've put it on a
completely different web site; it contains
no mention of, or link to, the Theosophy and
the Theosophical Movement that is presented
on my WisdomWorld.org web site:
