Konstantin,

Thanks. 

Your most interesting question allows  me to explain my point better.

The premise in that popular saying ("criticize me, but talk about me" ) is that the one criticized is fundamentally authentic, and will therefore grow by being under fire.  

For instance: HPB and her work.  

More than one hundred years later,  none of HPB's books have been abandoned, while many books by Leadbeater have been abandoned by the very Leadbeaterians.

In the 1980s, the "Collected Writings" of HPB,  with every short public text ever written by her, finally came to light.  While she is still attacked, slandered and criticized by many, her writings and books are being translated  to more languages and get new editions.  

So, in the case of someone or somethingwhich authentic and truthful, even criticisms will help. 

But false persons and fake things will be weakened by truthful criticisms, and will gradually  be shown for what they are.  

Look at the recent North American Policy in Irak, for instance. More criticisms have shown its weakenesses, because it is not an authentic or healthy policy. 

Hence Gregory Tillett's book on Leadbeater is still unquestioned. No Leadbeaterian has had the courage to question Tillet's book. And Leadbeater is being silenced by Ms. Radha Burnier (who rarely or never defends him). Because Radha KNOWS he is fake, and I can tell you about that.  

Criticisms are tests.   Fake persons in the long run will not be benefitted by such tests.  Authentic efforts or persons will get stronger, and learn a lot, under fire. 

Probationary fire strengthens the strong ones,  and it shows falsehoods as they are, since it burns and destroys the outer shell of things. 

OK?


Best regards,   Carlos.
