Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt00428)

Carlos now admits:

====================================================
Ton is a sincere theosophist , and he deserves our admiration and 
friendship for his efforts [for putting the CW Online including HPB's 
Instructions?].

What is done, is done. The "esoteric papers" are now "exoteric" 
because of a decision taken by A. Besant back in the 1890s.

The "Blavatsky Colleted Writings", that excellent work of compilation 
by a great theosophist called Boris de Zirkoff, also include 
the "Esoteric Papers" of the 1880s ES created by HPB.

Long before that, of course, they had been included in a "funny" 
edition of "The Secret Doctrine" by Annie Besant, of course!....
====================================================

Yes, most of what Carlos says above is what I have been saying for 
months and months on Theos-Talk! I'm glad Carlos now admits all of 
this. :)

But compare what he writes today (Tuesday) with what he only wrote 
yesterday (Monday) to me:

=========================================================
So the reason why you have put HPB's "esoteric texts" in the internet
for every unprepared soul to have a precocious contact with them,
before they can understand anything is -- to show you don't pay
atention to HPB's words and aims? Thast you do not have respect for
her?

Is there any personal pleasure in publicizing that which she
considered so reserved? Is there too much pleasure in "gossiping" in
such an insistent way about that?

There may be something odd in such a propaganda about a past and gone
secrecy which you so gladly and insistently disrespect yourself.

The secrecy of inner things you will never desecrate, however.
==========================================================

Please NOTE that Ton had put on the Internet more of HPB's Esoteric 
Instructions than I had.  

Furthermore, in my book THE ESOTERIC PAPERS OF MADAME BLAVATSKY 
<http://esotericpapers.net> I simply provide readers with (in some 
cases) BETTER versions of HPB's Instructions than what will found in 
Boris de Zirkoff's Volume 12.

Also I gave earlier and later facsimile editions of HPB's 
Instructions for students to read and compare.  And included in the 
same volume as HPB's Esoteric Instructions, the most complete text of 
HPB'S INNER GROUP TEACHINGS. etc. etc.

So when Carlos now admits:

"What is done, is done. The 'esoteric papers' are now 'exoteric' 
because of a decision taken by A. Besant back in the 1890s."

That has been my point from day one and I simply wanted to provide 
interested students with the best, the most authentic editions of 
these esoteric papers that I could find!!!

Yet Carlos for reasons best known to himself wants readers to believe 
I was showing disrespect to HPB yet he apparently says only positive 
things about Ton and Boris.

Now it doesn't matter to me at all what remarks Carlos makes about 
me.  I have a tough skin and am not deterred at all in my Blavatsky 
work by Carlos' comments which sometimes makes little sense....

But why this double standard and why this attempt by Carlos to 
apparently mislead readers on the facts surrounding HPB's esoteric 
writings?
