Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt00947)

Friends,


Nigel's last sentence, below, is:

"With the Adyar Society, some of us live in hope..."

And I am among them, although I am not a member of it.

My first hope is that Adyar TS Publishing Houses will STOP trying to adopt 
the Coulombs/Soloviof
libels against HPB published and accepted as if they were  her own words and 
as part of the "theosophical literature".

My second hope is that Adyar TS will get rid of CWL's fancies and of the 
authoritarian power-structure, the "esoteric popery" inherited from him and 
A. Besant.

I am sure such an evolution, to take place in the next few years/decades, 
will be most positive to the theosophical movement as a whole -- so this is 
my hope.   And I know of many, many  honest people within the Adyar TS and 
around the world who will be probably helping this improvement.


Best regards,   Carlos.
