Theos-Talk Archives (June 2006 Message tt00087)

Dear Friends,

In Journalism, like in History and in Science as a whole, information out of context misinforms rather than informs.  

The context  of events in the 1880s was most dynamic and full of ups and downs. 

Everyone was under an intense probation, and many people were actually  living PLEDGE FEVERS. 

Daniel Caldwell bring interesting facts to us, but -- they can only make sense if we look at the context, and not with the goal of planting doubts and skepticism. 


I admit that studying those intense years produces insights and lessons for our 21st century. 

Many people in  whom HPB had confidence failed her. Others recovered their balance once the pledge fever  passed and discipleship was abandoned. 

Regards,  Carlos Cardoso Aveline

Assunto:Theos-World ?Look at Mrs. Holloway. Do you still admire her?...?

> In 1885 HPB wrote to Judge:

> "As for L.C. Holloway enough said. I have not seen her since I came

> 
> Then in 1886, H.P.B. wrote her estimation of Mrs. Holloway to Mr. 
> Sinnett:
> 
> "...The first bomb-shell from the Dugpa world came from America; you
> welcomed and warmed it in your own breast. . . . The Dugpa element
> triumphed fully at one time -- why? because you believed in one

> duty it was not to interfere in the great probation save at the last
> moment. To this day you are unable to say what was true, what
> false...." The Mahatma Letters, No. 141.
