Theos-Talk Archives (February 2005 Message tt00433)

Hi Pablo,
Thanks for your comments !

You mentioned:
"But there is not a policy of Adyar TS to prevent this kind of 
articles."

Why wont the TS make a public statement to this effect and back it up 
with proactive support and action?


Also:

"However, I think most of members are not interested in this kind of 
investigation."


I am and I think many on this list are.
Why can't we?

Sincerely

Perry

But there is not a policy of Adyar TS to prevent this kind of 
articles. However, I think most of members are not interested in this 
kind of investigation. They usually study what they like, and put an 
aside that that they disagree.

But these studies must be directed by an honest spirit of to find the 
truth, and not by prejudices and corporative attitudes. I hardly find 
articles with the correct spirit (from my viewpoint).
