Theos-Talk Archives (August 2006 Message tt00244)

Dear Carlos,
Thanks for your comments, personally I found Geoffrey Hodson's commentaries on the 
bible the best things he wrote as you say much of his writings were fairly simplistic.

He also perpetuated the notion of fairies with wings and nature spirits in quaint little 
outfits ect. and pretty much echoed CWL in much of his clairvoyant observations.
I am sure he did have clairvoyance to some degree but in the Occult scheme of things this 
doesn't of itself mean anything. 
 
Regarding TS history my concern is the attitude towards people who try and make a validly 
critical and objective study either of past teachers actual writings or with the historical 
context.
(Blavatsky seems to be the exception)

In my case I was barred membership from the Adyar Society for my comments here on 
theos talk !?!

This is outright suppression is enforced under the guise of "brotherhood"!
I can see nothing "brotherly" about that and we need to ask ourselves what are the 
implications?

Maybe this avoidance and intolerance is on an occult level is doing its little bit to fuel 
intolerance and suppression elsewhere in the planet.

The Adyar mindset will use the reverse argument that critical questioning and debate lead 
to disharmony.

Cheers

Perry

supposedly dictated by Masters. Such books  are extremely shallow in content, if 
compared with HPB/Masters content.

The question is -- theosophical historians will aim more directly at extracting  from the 
past practical lessons useful to the movement. And they will give a better picture of the 
context.
