Theos-Talk Archives (May 2006 Message tt00668)

Dear Friends, 

In his text "The Myth of the 'Missing' Third Volume of 'The Secret Volume' ", 
Daniel Caldwell honest admits: 

"H. N. Stokes (...) held the view that the real Volume III manuscripts vanished and were never published. (...) To the list of those holding similar views, we can add many other distinguished names: Alice Cleather, Basin Crump, Charles J. Ryan, Victor Endersby, Walter Carrithers, Jr., Kirby Van Mater, Ted G. Davy,Richard Robb, Dara Eklund, and several more." 

By the end of his text, Daniel quotes Richard Robb. This was something courageous. 

Robb kindly shows why Caldwell is wrong, but instead of answering to Robb, Caldwell then says the reader should .... read his own (Caldwell's) text again!!!

Caldwell, who admits he himself is no theosophist, seems to believe he is the only one to understand things. 

All of the lifelong, sincerely committed theosophists he named above, and also Boris de Zirkoff, plus TS Pasadena, the ULT and even Adyar TS -- are all wrong!!!

Yet Caldwell's text "The Myth.. " makes a lot of quotations, as usual, and does not demonstrate a thing. 

Best regards, Carlos.
