Theos-Talk Archives (April 2006 Message tt00785)

Dear Friends,

Do I use thoughts and words similar to those of Leadbeater?

Well, if Leadbeater uses some words and ideas similar to those of the Esoteric Philosophy, that's no my fault. 

I plead "Not Guilty", then, to the acusations below. 

Best regards,  Carlos.
