Theos-Talk Archives (September 2006 Message tt00178)

Jake, Daniel, Friends,

Thanks. 

I think this exchange of ideas is most important. 

Initially,  I have a practical suggestion. Perhaps we should not involve Dallas Tenboreck's name or opinions in any controversy right now, as he does deserve our best thoughts from the highest or innermost  point of our consciousness, now that his upper triad is free and aiming at Devachan. 

Therefore I invite you people (and myself) to discuss the 1900 Letter leaving Dallas' opinions as much as possible apart from the debate.   

The analysis of the 1900 Letter goes far beyond what one or other of us thought and wrote  in those first "emotional" moments,  after the full text of the letter was finally discovered and published.  

The 1900 Letter has to do a lot with the History of the Adyar TS.  So, those who are not familiar with the Adyar's History may not easily evaluate its meaninfulness at first sight, while many of those who are within the Adyar TS (with a few exceptions) wil do their best to ignore the full text of the letter! That may explain why his key document has been largely ignored so far. 

As its full text had to wait some 87 years ( 1900-1987 ) to be "discovered", so the discovery of its true significance and occult strength has already taken two decades more, starting from 1987.  


(I would call attention for the analysis made by Leslie Price when he published the letter in "Theosophical History".   I should bring something from  L. Price's text here for us to evaluate it.) 

Best regards,  Carlos.
