Re: Theos-World Mr. C.W. Leadbeater on Heaven (AnandGholap.Net-Online Theosophy)

Dear Anand

Once again, you accept prima facie the words 
of Bishop C W Leadbeater, for which you are 
perfectly entitled.

Once again a reminder is offered that the 
Bishop demonstrably lied on many, many occasions.

Moreover his wild, fanciful nature fabricated 
many outrageous stories such as claiming to 
"clairvoyantly" view sophisticated civilisations 
on Mars.

How can any sane person accept anything this 
man spoke or wrote as having any truth or 
credibility  whatsoever?

Would you kindly explain this to me"

Regards
Nigel
