Theos-Talk Archives (July 2005 Message tt00183)

Annand,
It was the singer/songwriter Paul Simon who put it succinctly 
in his song THE BOXER " A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the 
rest.."What we have here is the same situation. History has recorded what 
has happened it is unalterable,Annie Besant, CWL et al all freely and openly 
acknowledge the debt that they owe to HPB. Whether one agrees or disagrees 
with her writings is of no matter. You question why don't students study 
objectively facts. I would say that they do, Is it not the case of what 
preconceived opinions that have been subjected to before they study is 
perhaps the problem.
In your own case Annand, what is your history? When you came to knock at 
Theosophy's door who influenced you? Why did those who influenced you 
perceive their agenda and for what purpose?
cheers Iain
