Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt00746)

Dear Krsanna,

I also have a general, unfortunately vague recollection that there are 
dedicated HPB students who doubt not only the authenticity of the Bowen 
Notes, but also the authenticity of her Diagram of Meditation.

Yet this is not a big deal. Examining both texts we will see both are 
consistent with H.P.B.'s  writings.

The Bowen Notes but stress and underline some basic points she had made in 
several places, the Three Fundamental Propositions above all.

I would say the same as to the 1900 Letter, which is rather similar to the 
so-called and fundamental  "Letter from the Maha-Chohan" (in fact it is but 
a report on the Maha-Chohan's view of the TS).

And the 1900 Letter also anticipates all the mistakes A. Besant would do in 
the following 33 years: that why its main sentences were kept hidden and 
censored by A. Besant, C. Jinarajadasa and their successors.

I guess the tendency to reject there three documents may be associated to a 
feeling that "everything which comes from Adyar is, in principle, false".  
There are strong  reasons for such a feeling, of course, but whenever 
possible things should be examined case-by-case and CONTENTS of documents 
should be evaluated to see if they are consistent or not with the 
HPB/Masters teaching.

I am not saying that the origin these documents  is authentic;  I am saying 
that their content is consistent with their being possibly authentic.  And 
the content, and the usefulness of things,  is often more important than 
their outward  form or origin.

Best regards,   Carlos.
