Theos-Talk Archives (September 2004 Message tt00450)

Sept 16 20004


Dear Bill :


If you want documentary facts (and escape (?) opinions) then secure a copy
(it is on line) of

THE THEOSOPHICAL MOVEMENT (1875-1950)

Available at www.phx-ult-lodge.org/
www.ult.org 
www.theosophycompany.org

cost of the actual book is about $ 7.50. Probably about $ 10.00 shipped.
Maybe you already have the book? But see it "on line" first.

The full history of what has happened since 1875 is summarized there.
[Documents included]

I have fully checked out the documentation and seen them. -- "dependency
on mere books" is a problem when one has nothing to go on. 

The ability to think things through depends largely on the extent of one's
study. 

Some never stop studying. Others call a halt, and then their limits are so
to say: "frozen." ( I hope only for a while.)

Best wishes,

Dallas

Perhaps it should be left up to each individual who claims the label 
theosophist to decide for themselves what they "should" read.

Books may be useful in the beginning, but I would think that some more 
experienced theosophists might have gotten past the dependency on mere 
books. 

After all, Isis itself can be unveiled by those with eyes to see. 

The voice of the silence itself can be heard by those with ears to hear.
