Re: Theos-World Tampering with HPB's THE VOICE OF THE SILENCE

Daniel ,

I believe I thoroughly covered in my recent post on the subject the arguments 
presented in the below referenced old correspondence -- with my explanation 
of the phrase "thin oblong squares" that HPB used in her introduction to the 
VOS.   

I still claim that in the context of its use as a shape description, 
regardless of its occult meaning in a Masonic or architectural context, it could be 
taken as an oxymoron... And, therefor, it makes no difference to the Heart 
Doctrine teaching that Judge saw it as such, and, as editor, changed it to a more 
understandable term describing the shape of the tablets the original Book of 
the Golden Precepts was inscribed on.   

Consequently "tampering" is much too strong a word to refer to a minor 
editorial correction, especially with implied insinuation that, by so doing, the 
teachings in the VOS were detrimentally altered.
