Theos-Talk Archives (June 2012 Message tt00001)

   Thanks for putting this Coryn/Inner Group manuscript online.  This early material is always fascinating and enthralling and historically important, even tho' they might not add much to the corpus of Blavatsky's writings.  Lord knows nobody else would make the effort to put it online for the general Theosophist.
      Thanks also for the biographical information on Sidney and Herbert Coryn.  Zirkoff has a short bio of Herbert on pp. 410-11 v9 BCW, and probably knew him also, as also being a Point Loma person.  He says there was a 3rd brother, Edgar, also a Theosophist.  What little I've read of H. Coryn's probably few dozen articles in the 45 vols. of  "Theosophical Paths," I especially like because of his frequent psychological angle and insights.  He was also editor of Point Loma's publication to Prisoners and Hospitals called "The New Way."

>More Blavatsky/Mahatma Material in the Inner Group-Coryn Manuscript.

>Since my new book MRS. HOLLOWAY AND THE MAHATMAS contains a number of rare and never before published Koot Hoomi and Blavatsky letters ( See  http://tinyurl.com/6rvn9tp ), I want to mention again other rare Koot Hoomi / Blavatsky letters, etc. now on my website.

>On April 17, 2012,  I posted on Theos-Talk info, etc. about the above Coryn material.

>I repeat below what I wrote then also adding in this new posting some biographical data about Mr. Sidney Coryn, etc.

>First the link to the Inner Group-Coryn Manuscript: 

http://blavatskyarchives.com/msscoryn.pdf

>I am happy to publish at Blavatsky Archives this old document containing certain Blavatsky and Mahatma material --- some of it NOT contained even in the 3 standard
volumes of Mahatma letters and in the Collected Writings Series of Madame Blavatsky.

>I discovered this material some time ago and within the last year decided to publish it. This document is provided courtesy of Point Loma Publications Archives, San Diego, California.

>In a letter dated after HPB's death, Mrs. Alice Cleather writes that the members of HPB's Inner Group were all given copies of certain Mahatma letters. And also Blavatsky material, letters, etc. for their personal use and study.

>It is my WORKING hypothesis that this typscript is that material or at least most of it.

>Now I give below brief bio sketches of Sidney AND his brother Herbert.  Both were Theosophical students  and HERBERT WAS A MEMBER OF BLAVATSKY'S INNER GROUP.

>?"...none but the logician, the investigator, the dauntless
explorer should meddle with books like this. Such delvers
after truth have the courage of their opinions."

their right value; and unless a judge compares notes and
hears both sides he can hardly come to a correct decision."
H.P. Blavatsky

>"...in the world mental as in the world spiritual each man
must progress by his own efforts. The writer cannot do the
reader's thinking for him, nor would the latter be any the
better off if such vicarious thought were possible..."
