NATIONAL & RACIAL DIFFERENCES

Dear Mark,
That's it, thanks a lot.
As to A. Besant and C. W. Leadbeater, I would not say that they can be accused of being Nazis or pre-Nazis, since they were completely pro-British Empire.
Yet Leadbeater expressed a deep racist contempt for the "negro" and "indigenous" peoples in his short novel "Saved By a Ghost", part of his book "The Perfume of Egypt".
Something which is completely against the first object of the Theosophical Movement.
In one of the Letters, a Mahatma says that the first thing the "white races" must do is to see as their brothers the "negro" peoples.
Of course, the same applies to Jews, Muslims and whatever people-nation which is -- as such -- an object of hatred or contempt.
I hope things can improve in the next few years or decades. The theosophical movement should be able to help in that.
Best regards, Carlos Cardoso Aveline

> Blavatsky's use of the term "Aryan" is a completely different thing than the Nazi's use of it and they get mixed up, and Blavatsky gets flak and ignorant prejudice for it. Blavatsky uses it in terms of large cycles of human types, the Asian Indians being the first "Aryans," the Jews and Negroes also being "Aryans" in her system. She writes on the Jews:
