Friends,

Intelligent remarks by MKR below. 

Actually, from childhood I read Russian authors and my father lived 
in the Soviet Union for one year in the early seventies. Yes, from 
my perspective it seems many Russians have a strong emotional nature 
which makes them perhaps rather direct;  but personally I would not 
say that the British have any chance in an international contest for 
hypocrisy.
 
They are far too sincere for that, and other Western nations are 
much better in hypocrisy --  if generalizations, always dangerous,  
make any sense. 

By now things depend much more on individuals, and especially on 
social classes,  than on nations; but nations still have their 
influence. 

Or at least so I see it,  by now. 

As to HPB, it seems that Occultists are trained to leave shells 
apart,  and that has a cost. 

Carlos.
