Theos-Talk Archives (July 2006 Message tt00033)

It sounds to me Carlos, that Fohat is more about politics than it is about Theosophy.

 By the text below,  I guess Daniel Caldwell  implies the new issue of FOHAT magazine is already available. It must be arriving to me soon.  
 
 I strongly recomend students to subscribe FOHAT, as it is one of the few theosophical publications now discussing  the problems and potentialities of the movement in an open and direct way. 
 
 FOHAT is an open forum for those committed to the movement. 
 
 Regards,  Carlos Cardoso Aveline .
