Theos-Talk Archives (September 1995 Message tl00713)

Brenda:

I agree with you, I personally know a lot of people who found theosophy by
being first attracted to the works of CWL. I myself am very grateful to his
books which I ran across when I first found Theosophy. And have learned a
lot from two of his former students (Dora and Harry). Slander doesn't do
anyone good and brings us away from the higher ideas we are trying to
understand and ideals we are trying to experience.
