Theos-Talk Archives (May 2006 Message tt00265)

Daniel, Friends, 

Thanks.

If you calmly read these lines belos, Daniel, perhaps you can move on and drop this question which seems ot arise once and again in your mind. 

I am talking about the general policy of constantly publicizing lies and liars against HPB to the great public. 

And, at the same time, of stimulating dissent, doubt and skepticism about all theosophical groups and institutions.

Instead of helping the movement to go ahead with its healthy diversity
and helping it recognize that Theosophy is much bigger and much more 
important than personality gossips. 

I hope you can see the point. I sincerely do so.

Best regards, Carlos.
