Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt00194)

Dr. H.N. Stokes, editor of THE O.E. LIBRARY CRITIC and Theosophical 
historian, once wrote:

"If .... [HPB's esoteric papers] are [still] private documents today, 
no one without a diploma of sanctity and a special permit from the 
Mahatmas is more entitled to [quote from them or] read them than any 
others, or to discourage others from doing what he does himself when it 
suits his purpose ... ."

Dr. Stokes was probably the foremost critic of the Besant/Leadbeater 
policies and teachings.  His magazine is a goldmine of material.
