Theos-Talk Archives (August 2006 Message tt00269)

Friends,

This, below, is another posting which can hardly be described as aggressive or hurtful to any persons who are, as we all are, truth-seekers. 


This is the difference between blind belief and search for true knowledge, and I am confident that Pedro and other Adyar TS members will see that. 

A student of Occultism  does not develop a personal attachment to opinions or, at least, once confronted with facts, he will (painfully or otherwise) accept them. 

Because Occult Science cannot be found in belief-systems. 

The Masters made that most clear in a number of occasions. 

Now, again, there are other mistakes besides those of the Adyar TS, of course. 

Best regards,    Carlos.
