'FOHAT' MAGAZINE

Friends,

By the text below,  I guess Daniel Caldwell  implies the new issue of FOHAT magazine is already available. It must be arriving to me soon.  

I strongly recomend students to subscribe FOHAT, as it is one of the few theosophical publications now discussing  the problems and potentialities of the movement in an open and direct way. 

FOHAT is an open forum for those committed to the movement. 


Regards,  Carlos Cardoso Aveline .

Assunto:Theos-World Open Letter to Robert Bruce MacDonald, Editor of FOHAT Message List

> In editorial comments introducing three
> letters from readers objecting to certain
> Blavatsky letters included in Vol. I of THE LETTERS
> OF H.P.B., you (I assume it is you unless
> it was another member of the editorial staff)
> wrote as follows:
> 
> "There are very good political reasons
> for including those letters. Adyar and
> Wheaton embrace a brand of 'theosophy'
> that is built upon the work of Annie Besant,
> Charles Leadbeater, and their worshipping
> followers."
> 
> "Adyar and Wheaton have to believe, and they
> have to ensure that their members believe in
> the sainthood of at least Besant. This
> sainthood cannot be guaranteed if Blavatsky,
> Judge and their interpretations of the Masters
> are not made suspect. The easiest way to
> accomplish this is to attack the reputations
> of these two founders of the society and
> attribute to them base, political motives,
> to make them as ethical as a Jesuit. Adyar
> and Wheaton obviously want these letters
> included in these collections and you can
> be sure that they will not be the last of
> their type. There will be other letters
> of the same ilk in future volumes. If
> you are members of these organizations, do
> not let your leadership get away with this."
> [Quoted from Fall, 2004 issue of FOHAT]
> 
> This is a serious charge and one must assume
> you direct it specifically at Dr. John Algeo,
> the editor of the volume.
> 
> I would point out that both John Cooper and Boris de Zirkoff
> wanted the "Solovyoff" letters (mentioned by the 3 readers)
> published. Dara Eklund can confirm this about BdZ.
> 
> And John Cooper published these "Solovyoff" letters as well as Letter
> No 7 AS PART of his dissertation and AS PART of the manuscript he
> sent to Wheaton. Gregory Tillett can verify for you my statement
> about Cooper's dissertation.
> 
> Therefore if you want to ascribe base/negative motives to
> John Algeo and Wheaton/Adyar in this matter, then in fairness one
> could ascribe the SAME motivation to both de Zirkoff and Cooper.
> 
> Do you believe John Cooper included these letters for the same reason
> you give for Dr. Algeo including them?
> 
> As I said this is a serious matter and I would like to know your
> thinking on the above facts that I have given you.
> 
> I hope that you will seriously reconsider this matter, retract
> those statements and offer a public apology.
