Caldwell and Johnson

Apr 20, 2006 12:42 PM

Dear Friends,


Daniel seems to think that persons have to be all black or all white. They are not. 

Paul Johnson admits he is not a theosophist.  Why should be have admiration for HPB's work?   He is free to say HPB invented the Masters and so on. No problem with that, as long as people do know that he does not consider himself a theosophist and clearly thinks  what he does about Masters/HPB. 

P. Johnson is not infiltrated in the movement. He is not trying to speak as if he were  an "HPB student", or an "HPB editor". 

Paul Johnson's testimony on the possible internet tricks and intellectual frauds committed by Daniel Caldwell might have validity, since Daniel never commented them -- so far.  But I am still waiting for Daniel's explanations. 
He might show us all that he is a decent guy and not a deceiver. I do not like prejudging people. 

Best regards,  Carlos.
