Re: HPB Against Golden Dawn

Carlos,
Her are my answer and comments, on your two questions and commentary:
1. "When did she change such a rule to allow members of her Esoteric
School to be
members of the Golden Down?"
Answer; 1889
2. "What is the bibliographical reference for that, if any, please?"
Answer; Read al posting first, hence I have her already answered
that. And what do you mean with "if any". Here we go again.
Everything that you for same reasons don't happen to like, you
question.
3. "I am not at library, but I don't remember seeing such a
permission in the Volume XII of HPB's Collected Writings. As long
aas I know, she gave that permision and was, on the contrary,
worried about the mnovement being infiltrated y Golden Dawn, which
may have inspired C.W. Leadbeater with mixing 'sex and occultism'.
But these are but questions, as this is not my 'main area' of
research."
Answer; Do you think every thing, that has any thing to do with the
ES, is to be fined in BCW vol. XII? About TS was "infiltrated" by
GDs, I say BS. Way do you think HPB made the founder and Head of GD
a member of IG, if she was "worried about" "infiltration?
And CWL hade nothing to do with GD, so keep him out.
And on what you also said; "As far as I am concerned, Golden Dawn
people could have used her name 'in vain' after May 1891, with
supposed letters from her, ascribed to previous dates".
That shows very clear that you once more have to look up the history
of GD, hence they never used her name, and there exists no letters
from her in GD matters which later was "ascribed to previous dates".
Carlos, before you in the future use the word "research", find out
what it really means and stands for. For it has nothing to do with
political revisionism! If now you believed that.
