Theos-Talk Archives (February 2000 Message tt00051)

Thankyou, Peter,

I wonder too.  Why would the official seal have it one way and then another.

Here at the L.A. County Dept. of Corner I occassionaly see where a violent
young man has all these symbols of hate and death tattooed on his body and
then there will be this home-made swastika meant to be the Nazi symbol but
turning the wrong way and meaning the opposite of that intended.

Sincerely,
Eugene

+AD4-Hi Eugene,
+AD4-
+AD4-Fortunately there is a copy of the Secret Doctrine on line at:
+AD4-
+AD4-http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/tup-onl.htm
+AD4-
+AD4-As to the different directions of the swastika - the one on page 99 in  SD
II is the opposite direction to the one on the cover of the same SD, even in
the original edition.  I wonder if it depends on whether we are on the
outside looking in, or the inside looking out?  I suppose we could say with
these two actual symbols that one is on the 'outside' while the other (p99)
is on the inside, but that is just speculation on my part.

+AD4-best wishes

+AD4APg- Dear Peter,
+AD4APg-
+AD4APg- Thankyou very much.  You didn't type all this out of a book did you?  Is
+AD4APg- there a copy of the Secret Doctrine on CD ROM available?
+AD4APg-
+AD4APg- But.  What I'm curious about is why the seal of the Theosophical
+AD4APg- Society has
+AD4APg- a clockwise swastika which seems correct, but many books published by the
+AD4APg- Pasadena group have a seal with the counterclockwise symbol in the seal.
+AD4APg- This latter seems a mistake.  It seems to me that someone made a
+AD4APg- mistake and
+AD4APg- misprinted the seal.  No one will explain this.
+AD4APg-
+AD4APg- Thanks for the information.
+AD4APg- Sincerely,
+AD4APg- Eugene
