HPB Declared Innocent by SPR

Daniel,


I will note that in your opinion the SPR did not have any charges against HPB.

And that the SPR did not declare HPB innocent in 1986.

A surprising view indeed. I must recommend you and everyone to read Vernon Harrison's book on the subject. It seems you did not yet.

And also Sylvia Cranston's biography of HPB, which discusses the subject. Very important books indeed, from which every sincere student can benefit.


Regards, Carlos.

Unless Carlos has information I'm not aware of, the SPR
did NOT revise and abandon all its charges against
HPB.

Technically speaking , the SPR as
a society did NOT have any charges against HPB in the
first place.  The charges against HPB were made by
Hodgson and a committee of SPR members.

But see also Leslie Price's relevant comments at:

http://blavatskyfoundation.org/obitpric.htm

But it was certainly significant that in 1986 the SPR
journal published Harrison's report.

Walter Carrither's book and Harrison's book certainly
call into question many of the major charges made against
HPB by Hodgson.

But each reader, student, interested inquirer will have to decide
for himself (herself) the validity of Hodgson's original charges
and the rebuttals by Carrithers, Harrison and other defenders of
HPB.

Some of my own thinking on the matter can be found at:

http://blavatskyarchives.com/mahatmasapparitions.htm

especially in Footnote 1 at:

http://blavatskyarchives.com/mahatmasapparitions.htm#1

For example, interested readers should compare and contrast
Henry Olcott's testimony about his encounters with the Masters
at:

http://blavatskyarchives.com/olcottandmahatmas.htm

http://blavatskyarchives.com/olcottaccounts.htm

with the testimony of Coulomb and Hodgson at:

http://blavatskyarchives.com/coulombandhodgson.htm

I would think that the perceptive reader of this material might
see some glaring differences.....
