Jake, you write:

======================================
I'm seeing more that this whole
"letter" is hokey. The pseudo-teacher
says that "each of us has a dugpa inside
of us." WE DO NOT! This is not
supported anywhere in the literature.
We have a high and low self, and the
low self is not a "dugpa"! Here's the
supposed teacher quote, according to
ver Planck:

"Judge the action, not the person. You
never know the true motives. Never
judge human nature on its lowest level.
Every one has a potential Dugpa in him."

Pure dugpa BS!
======================================

About 30 minutes ago I had thought I would
look thru various primary sources for this
dugpa quote.  I have this vague recollection
of reading it somewhere else.  Didn't Pryse refer
to it somewhere...etc. etc.

I started re-reading Volume IV of THE PATH, and
look what my eyes saw!!

On page 142 of the August, 1889 issue of THE PATH,
one sees towards the top of the page this heading:

ABOUT BLACK AND WHITE MAGICIANS.

This is following by a question:

"How is one to recognize a black magician, and how to treat such an 
one?"

Then four paragraphs answer the question and the answer apparently 
is signed:

HADJI ERINN.

Now the first sentence of the first paragraph of the answer reads:

"It has been well said by H.P. Blavatsky that 'each one has a 
potential black magician within.' "

!!!!!!!

Is the above discovery MORE "Pure dugpa BS!" in THE PATH????

Compare and contrast this sentence with what Julia and Jake wrote.

First Julia in her July 1889 PATH article.

On the second page (p. 98) of this lead article, Julia writes:

"What is our present Duty? Hear the words of the Master. 'Judge
the action, not the person. You never know the true motives. Never
judge human nature on its lowest level. Every one has a potential
Dugpa in him.' "

Julia adds a footnote to this quote:

"Dugpa, black magician; one devoted wholly to self. This [quotation
above] and other quotations [later in this same article] are from
the private letters of the Adept."

Now Jake's comments!!

Ok, I'm out of here.  Back to my perusal for
that other quote!
