Theos-Talk Archives (August 2006 Message tt00553)

Gary,

Speaking for myself only, I have no agenda and have come fresh into 
this form.  I've taken no courses in Theosophy.  But I am interested 
in the subjects you mentioned also and I will cease the political 
talk after tonight.  I am interested in comparing Blavatsky's "Isis 
Unvieled" with her Secret Doctrine also - I preferred her earlier 
work on "ISIS Unveiled" actually.  I am interested in Karmic 
debt/effect also.  Also I was going to add my thoughts on the 
difference between humans and animals but I got side-tracked 
(again) - bad habit of mine.

I hope to discuss further with you and the others Gary.

within this discussion group).  I would not normally ask these type 
of questions, so bear with me.

if you are sincere, please address the questions and then tell me 
where you would like to begin.  Lastly, if either of us find our 
conversations out-of-line or inappropriate to theosophy then we each 
need to say so, fair enough?
