Theos-Talk Archives (September 2008 Message tt00105)

Anand,

You wrote to me:

"You tell us again and again that Masters corrected HPB's mistakes in
The Secrete Doctrine."

Anand, I am merely repeating what the Master Koot Hoomi wrote in his
letter to Henry Olcott.

I again repeat his words BELOW and then ask you two direct questions.

First Master KH's remark:

"I have also noted, your thoughts about the 'Secret Doctrine.' Be
assured that what she [HPB] has not annotated from scientific and
other works, we have given or suggested to her. Every mistake or
erroneous notion, corrected and explained by her from the works of
other theosophists was corrected by me, or under my instruction. It
is a more valuable work than its predecessor, an epitome of occult
truths that will make it a source of information and instruction for
the earnest student for long years to come. . . ."
Quoted from: Letters from the Masters of the Wisdom, Series I, p. 47

For a person who believes that Mahatma KH is a real person and was an
adept and one of HPB's Teachers, these statements about THE SECRET 
DOCTRINE in KH's letter to Olcott tell us alot and are highly 
significant.

Now the 2 questions:

As previously stated on Theos-Talk, Anand you once made a
sweeping statement that Mme. Blavatsky's "writing has many mistakes
to the extent that it is not possible to recommend for reading even a
single book by her."

Not a SINGLE book....

So am I right that even you Anand would NOT recommend Blavatsky's
magnum opus THE SECRET DOCTRINE?

So Anand, do you reject and dismiss Master Koot Hoomi's estimation & 
assessment of THE SECRET DOCTRINE as "an epitome of occult
truths that will make it a source of information and instruction for
the earnest student for long years to come. . . ."???
