Theos-Talk Archives (June 2006 Message tt00240)

Carlos,

So from what you write below, are you against
readers having access to both the pro and con
on the Coulomb Case???

Readers should be allowed to read whatever they
want to, don't you agree?

Remember what HPB wrote:

"...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..."

"...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."

Maybe you shouldn't meddle with such material, if it bothers you.  :)
