Re: CARL, ON WHAT I SAY

Carlos,
If "modern disciples of the Masters "have nothing to do with modern
Masonry". Can you then tell me way Western Masonry is an obligatory
study for all Eastern Chelas?
And please stop claim that "Le Droit Humain" has been a part of the
Theosophical Movement, or TS Adyar or what ever. It has never, and
never will be that.
And to find HPB students in the "Le Droit Humain" today is possible,
hence the leadbeaterians are out.
I was for many years' member in a lodge, working partly under the
Grand Lodge of Stockholm. I left hence the Swedish Order of
Freemasonry and the Swedish Rite is infiltrated by Lutheran priest.
On horrifying example of this is that the priests don't have to
where white gloves, hence they as priests can't have been involved
in the "murder of Hiram Abiff" (a Masonic symbol, for the none
masons). Nonsense! So I went some where else.

I was talking about the fact that according to HPB, modern disciples
of the Masters "have nothing to do with modern Masonry", as you can
see, with all due bibliographical references, in an earlier message
from me, today. (I can repeat the message if you want.)
