As to Daniel's criticisms on the ULT, they are a form of propaganda 
and in the long run are rather beneficent to this living, 
informal 'web of theosophical life'.

The continuing attention given the ULT by Daniel (and this has been 
so since 1998, says Paul Johnson) undoubtedly shows us that Daniel 
sees the ULT as something very important to the movement, in quality, 
at least, and in spite of its small outward size, and limited numbers 
of associates.

And that is an unconscious homage which, being a sincere friend and 
an associate of the ULT, I have to thank him for.
==================================================================

Readers should note that I have ALSO criticized and given "continuing 
attention" to Leadbeater and the Adyar TS since at least 1975 so I 
guess by Carlos' "REASONING" I've also shown that Leadbeater and the 
Adyar TS is "something very important to the movement"!!  So is 
this "unconscious homage" to the Adyar TS??

But notice that although Carlos mentions my "criticisms" of ULT and 
my "propaganda" about ULT, he doesn't deal with the substance of the 
criticisms, that is, with the SPECIFICS, etc.  Or he doesn't address 
Carl's detailed criticism of ULT recently posted at ULT.  Or doesn't 
shed any light on the many questions about ULT and DES that Gregory 
Tillett gave us a week or so ago on Theos-Talk.

Hmmmm...wonder why?

I once again ask:  what statement have I made about ULT or DES or 
Robert Crosbie that has been "false" or untrue?

As I have said previously, I am mainly concerned with the truth or 
falsity of historical statements that various ULT writers have made 
about the origins of their group and about Robert Crosbie the 
founder.  The same for Adyar writers and their statements about the 
TS Adyar and Mrs. Besant and Mr. Leadbeater.  And the same for other 
writers of other Theosophical groups.....

It was the considered opinion of Walter A. Carrithers, Jr. who was 
one of the formost defenders of Madame Blavatsky in the 20th century, 
that the "propaganda" of all the existing Theosophical groups had 
created "misleading mayavic ideations" that helped to obscure a 
better and proper understanding of Madame Blavatsky's mission and 
teachings.

I hope to provide more on this in the next year or two either on 
Theos-Talk or elsewhere.
