Hallo Leon and all,

My views are:

liberation intended was liberating people from their ignorance of the true nature
of reality. "

I find that to be exactly what I was referring to.
Removal of ignorance is the same as Atma-Vidya.

About Karma - I will refer to the book The Key to Theosophy.

But Leon I do think that Blavatsky did very well. But what does the Master think about it?
Are you a Master? If not - how do you know?

Leon wrote:
"It did not intend to teach those practices.
Therefore, the book was purely intellectual in nature"

I think that is below your usual level of writing.
NO BOOK is only "purely intellectual in nature".
Everything and all life exists on the seven planes of manifestation.
And a book written by a Dhyan Chohan exists on higher levels as well.


Well just a few views of mine.
I might be wrong - but I have done my best to be helpful.

Only when you compare apples to oranges can you say that the Secret Doctrine
was written in any sense for the purpose of "liberating" anyone. The only
liberation intended was liberating people from their ignorance of the true nature
of reality.

There was no intent by HPB or the Masters to liberate people from their own
personal karma, nor was it their intention to form any religion or yogic order
through the teachings of the Secret Doctrine. It simply taught what its sub
tile said -- i.e., "The Synthesis of Science religion and philosophy." Itdid
hthis by giving us a true understanding of the fundamental metaphysics behind
every religion or yoga practice. It did not intend to teach those practices.
Therefore, the book was purely intellectual in nature and it furnished the
background only for the self enlightening teaching of the Heart Doctrine as a means
to creating "a nucleus of universal brotherhood" -- the practice for which
which was delegated to the Voice of the Silence and other yoga teachings, from
Patanjali's yoga aphorisms to Lao Tse's Tao Te Ching, etc., and on to whatever
means one could devise through their own self devised and self determined
efforts-- even if that meant finding a teacher, such as Idries Shah, to help them
find their own self realizaition or enlightenment.

" If all those who think Blavatsky made serious mistakes or that she wrote

I do not think I have said that Blavatsky made serious mistakes. Although
everything is relative.

My view is, that one should know people by their fruits. If their fruits
has been to create cults
of an emotional nature and the like - we can certainly question of they
have provided
some good and digestable fruits. Perhaps Blavatsky made some mistakes we
do
not know about,
but which the Masters know about.
What is relevant are whether her teachings liberates the individual Seekers.

Some Seekers might not need
to seek out Blavatsky's teaching when viewed in a dead-letter manner using
mere theosophical terminology.
That would be a serious mistake for them, because they will go and waste
some time - before they actually can
benefit from her teachings.

To say, that Blavatsky didn't write her teachings from any particular point
of view
related to "TIME, PLACE, PEOPLE and CIRCUMSTANCES"- when viewed in a
DEAD-LETTER manner -

is a mistake or at least to in agreement with the truth. When the teachings
are viewed in a non-dead-letter manner
much of her teachings are timeless no doubt.

I do hope this was helpful.
But, maybe not all of you can understand this.
