Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt00180)

MKR,

I fully agree.  I remember that quotation well, and I believe it is in the Letter 20, Chronological edition.

"No 'Manual' possible" -- a statement  which coincides with the Zen tradition that "there is a transmission independent from sacred structures". 

And the Tao Te King says:   

"Those who say, do not know; those who know, do not say". 

These facts points to the need for a deeper look from scholars on the esoteric tradition, which is not limited to its outer and bureaucratic dimensions.  

In time, it will emerge -- I am sure.

I guess for a scholar it is easier to understand the rotten pseudo-occultism of a Leadbeater -- than the real and pure universal Occultism of HPB and the Masters.  




Regards,   Carlos.
