Theos-Talk Archives (March 1995 Message tl00212)

Hello all.

My name is Paul and the home base is in the United Kingdom.

Having been kindly allowed to join the Theos list, the following
is a brief resume of one's introduction/link with Theosophy:

First came into contact with Theosophy at the age of around 14/15
years (over 20 years ago, now:-)) in a paperback which had
re-printed inside it "Occultism vs the Occult Arts" by H.  P.
Blavatsky.

Somewhere in the late teen's joined the Theosophical Society in
England.  Visited the British HQ in London and had a look 'round
the library.  Bump into a chap - now a long-standing friend and
theosophical student - who introduced me to a photostat copy of
the original 1888 edition of "The Secret Doctrine" and, at the
same time, met Mr Rex Dutta, then Director of Viewpoint Aquarius
magazine.  Joined Viewpoint Aquarius's Secret Doctrine study
group.  Continue to attend monthly meetings (now some two decades
later and re-named the Viewpoint Aquarius Study Centre after Rex
Dutta 'died' a couple of years ago).

Continue to write papers for Viewpoint Aquarius magazine
(published bi-monthly).

Main focus of study is *original* (or photostat copies) of HPB's
works, "The Secret Doctrine", "The Key to Theosophy", "The Voice
of the Sience" and other works published during the time of HPB's
and M/KH's auspices.

Kindest regards,

Paul.
