On the verb "To Claim"

Nov 02, 2006 07:19 AM
by carlosaveline


Carl, 

HPB did not claim she was in contact with the Masters as one does not "claim" that the Sun uses to rise, or that it appears to rise everyday (from the viewpoint of a citizen in our planet).  

HPB said she had contact with Adepts as one says the Sun "rises" everyday.

Leadbeater claimed he was in contact with the Mahatmas.  

And Daniel Caldwell claims that "HPB might be a fraud".  He has been claiming that for a number of years, in case you do not know, Carl.  

Yet HPB students know better and say  that  HPB was NOT a fraud. 


Regards,   Carlos.
