In a letter dated Jan 6, 2006, Carlos Aveline writes to
Betty Bland, President of the American Section of the TS
(Adyar):
"In time I hope the Adyar TS will come to publicly
acknowledge and debate other mistakes it made.
"A few, selected examples:
"1. The tampering with the first edition of The Secret Doctrine,
until the ULT published the first facsimile edition in 1925...."
[The Aquarian Theosophist, March 17, 2006.]
Yes I would like to see such debate and discussion of such
tampering.
But I would also hope that Carlos Aveline and ULT would
also want to publicly debate and discuss the publication
of "tampered" editions of HPB's writing by the ULT (actually The
Theosophy Company).
See the following articles that demonstrate the
unacknowledged "tampering" with HPB's original text in two
books published by the Theosophy Company and sold at ULT lodges
worldwide:
• The Theosophy Company's Edition of HPB's The Voice of the Silence

• HPB on "thin oblong squares" as found in the original edition of
THE VOICE

• An Update on The Theosophy Company's edition of THE VOICE OF THE
SILENCE
http://theos-talk.com/archives/200310/tt00153.html
• Reprint of A Modern Panarion by the Theosophy Company

Does Carlos acknowledge that these are mistakes that the ULT/
Theosophy Company has committed? etc. etc.
