Carlos,
>From one trojan horse to another!!! ;)
You write:
"Boris is certainly one of the best theosophical workers in the 20
century. A mysterious occultist, by the way, on whom scarce personal
data will be found. A man respected by everyon in the movement--
except perhaps Trojan Horses."
I am NOT trying to cast doubt on Boris and that he was one of
the best theosophical workers, etc.
But all of the above does NOT change ONE IOTA the fact that Boris
SILENTLY EDITED the Collected Writings edition of THE SECRET
DOCTRINE.
Nor does any of the above negate the observations made by Peter M.
and Dallas T. as quoted in my previos posting.

entitled to make mistakes as any other human.

centuries, at least, and all its workers will have other chances in
future times, according to their sincerity at heart.
