Theos-Talk Archives (December 2006 Message tt00371)

Friends, 

What is the ground for my  present view that assessment of Mr. Tillett has an  interest in organizational matters dealing with the theosophical movement, but lacks any strong interest in the philosophy and the living of Theosophy itself? 

My perception is based on Tillett's writings;  on  his messages at Theos-talk; on  his dialogue with Ms. Radha Burnier, as  narrated by himself;   and on the content of his questions recently submitted to the ULT.  

Yet Dr. Tillett himself is naturally free to say anything he wants about that,  if my assessment is wrong.  He can also show any ideas he might have about the content and substance of the esoteric philosophy and ancient and modern wisdom tradition, Eastern and Western.  

I say this because so far Mr. Caldwell,  who now seems to be Tillett's  anxiously self-appointed representative here, has limited himself, as usual,  to making rhetorical questions.   

Regards,  Carlos.
