Theos-Talk Archives (October 2002 Message tt00252)

Steve: Nonetheless, in the Mahatma Letters, etc., there is a good deal of 
discussion of "inferior" races and how they have to go.

Brian: Even without further detail and in spite of squirming apologetics 
like Bart and other current day Theosophists, the admission (the whole 
basis of The Secret Doctrine) that each race is associated with a 
particular homeland makes a mockery of the disclaimer. 

Steve: forget all the later impostors such as Bailey, leadbeater, etc.

Brian: Despite individual differences between theosophists, there is 
remarkably little divergence in the evolutionary scheme they present. 

In addition, where is the evidence Blavatsky was not an imposter 
herself, with that I mean; the "Mahatma Letters" are written pieces of 
paper/letters indeed, but where is the evidence that they are what 
Theosophists claim they are ?

W.Q.Judge even seemed to know how the Mahatma script was imitated.
