Theos-Talk Archives (October 2008 Message tt00471)

Everyone gets frustrated with HPB.  Just ask Col. Olcott!  The  first time I 
dove into the Secret Doctrine I damned near drowned.
 
And getting CPR from the Master DK was embarrassing to say the least.

With all due respect, Anand, your "survey" of people you have known 
who  were frustrated with the writing of HPB may not be a particularly  
meaningful statistic. Your authority for doing an assessment of HPB's  
writing may not hold up for anyone who finds HPB's writing to be  
challenging, fulfilling, informative, and dependably enriching. It 
may  be fair to say that the opinion of A.P. Sinnett is no more 
meaningful than  the opinion of, say, myself. The ancient wisdom has 
been offered from  inner planes to us to further our evolution. If we 
choose to accept what  we can and work on understanding the rest, we 
may find benefit. We are  learning to think for ourselves, not to be 
blindly led by anyone who has a  bias or an agenda to promote. 
Personally, I would rather share what I find  valuable and encourage 
others to try it and see if they find it valuable  also. There is no 
way to prove the authenticity of this material, except  to try it out 
in our daily lives and see if it helps or not. There have  been no 
shortage of people who have chosen to denigrate and ridicule the  
messenger of the inner wisdom, no matter who that messenger has been  
down through the ages. But the message continues to comfort and  
support sincere seekers, and it most likely will continue to do so  
into infinity, no matter how hard the forces of separation and  
disunity seek to destroy. Unity is the message, and it will prevail.
