Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt00462)

Daniel,


I have written here that  you are improving and I hope your improvement gets faster. 

I do not believe in freezing images about people,  and I am open to see you behave as a sincere people, if not as a theosophist --  which you use to say you are not. There is absolutely no problem in not being a theosophist, of course, as long as one is sincere.  

I believe in dialogue and I am eager to see that continuing improvement in your attitude and actions. 


Best regards,  Carlos.
