Theos-Talk Archives (August 2005 Message tt00125)

Thanks for providing the extract so readers can contrast
it with what the previous person wrote about the "higher [??]
teachings" of Theosophy. I guess KH was only giving out
a "popular" [lower?] teaching. Poor KH, he doesn't know
much about real Theosophy so apparently Leadbeater,
Purucker and Reitmeyer had to come along and set the record
straight!!
