Comment intended mainly for Mr Murray Stentiford and Mr Gregg Bartle;
from Fredrik Montelius, Sweden:

A word of thanks to Mr Stentiford regarding my comment on the Masters.
 After, to my best capacity, consulting the writings,
I understand that I have failed to distinguish
between my stating the Masters feeling the need to appoint a *thought
police* and,
 as I SHOULD have written,  a PROPHECY such a thing will once see the light
of day.
Personally, I am not wholly against the idea for the reasons stated by Mr
Stentiford, but my PERSONAL view in this matter
has NOTHING to do with the Theosophical teachings
and should therefore not be mixed with the views of the Masters.
The error is, naturally, all mine.
Fredrik Montelius, Sweden.
