Disciples and Editing

Friends,

A more complex side of the controversy about editorial policies is that, in fact, disciples and Mahatmas have such a magnetic unity among them that they do not care as we do about proper quotations, verbatim reproduction, etc.
This is well-documented in theosophical history.
They even have telepathy working among them all the time, so it would often be difficult to say "whose thought is it anyway". 

It has been a gradual process by which more and more editorial care as to the sources is required.   A practice with which I fully agree today, while not  ignoring what happens in more occult levels. 

In certain moment HPB wrote that William Judge was "a thirteen years disciple".  Between he and her, I guess there were no "copyright problems", as between HPB and Damodar, or HPB and Subba Row.  

Carlos.
