Theos-Talk Archives (July 2006 Message tt00241)

Daniel,

The point raised by Mark can be seen as going beyond  the act of examining the letters in the British Museum.  

There are other ways to get in touch with the authenticity of Theosophy and of confirming it by ourselves, and Mark most certainly knows them.

By reading "The Secret Doctrine" and HPB's writings, or by studying the contents of "The Mahatma Letters", one can see by oneself that there is nothing false about Theosophy, or about HPB and occult learning. 

I guess the main point in the question raised by  Mark Jaqua is: instead of making propaganda (perhaps on a voluntary basis?) of the same old 19 century traitors and Judases, Algeo and you should start getting in touch with Theosophy -- a Divine Wisdom which  could not have been given to mankind by a false person who "faked phenomena" or "invented Masters".


Where is your respect towards the Masters and HPB (I will not mention "gratitude")  if you keep publicizing libels which you KNOW are false? 

A healthy feeling self-respect is enough for anyone NOT to do that. 

Kindly think about that.  HPB as every Initiate, is a Mirror which reflects the state of the soul of the observer.  Respect for one's higher self leads to have respect for her and the Masters.   
 

Best regards,  Carlos Cardoso Aveline

Assunto:Theos-World Mark & Carlos on a Physical analysis of the original Mahatma Letters
