Theos-Talk Archives (September 2008 Message tt00272)

Frank R. wrote several weeks ago on Theos-Talk:

---------------------------------------------------------
For usual texts from adepts have no zeitgeist aroma and this is the
reason why I also to not believe in the authenticity of the alleged
stenographic memo of de Purucker's words regarding Hitler and
Herrmann Rauschning, which is distributed by Point Loma Publications.
The day when this text comes out as authentic, I'll say theosophy
goodbye.

I give below a LINK to a photographic facsimile of what Frank
described as "the alleged stenographic memo of de Puruckers words
regarding HItler":

See facsimile of the letter in question at:

A relevant note of information concerning this letter is as follows:

"...Elsie Savage Benjamin was dePurucker's secretary from when he
became leader in 1929 to his death in 1942 and ... literally ALL of
his correspondence was done by dictation e.g. spoken to Elsie, taken
down in shorthand and typed out by her, brought back to him to read
and then sent out...."

For even more background information, see the article titled "Hitler,
Nazism, and Theosophy" by Ken Small in May 2006 Issue of THEOSOPHY
WORLD.
