Theos-Talk Archives (December 2006 Message tt00141)

Friends, 

I see there was a mistake in the message below. The correct is to 
say: 

"The masonic tradition cannot be said to be entirely bad at all 
times, ever. It got more severely infiltrated since 17th-18th 
centuries. Especially from 18th century." 

Of course, this are approximate and relative data. For more on that, 
see "Isis Unveiled", by HPB. 


Sorry,  Carlos.
