Truth and Falsehood in
the Theosophical Literature

“In the ordinary run of daily life speech may
be silver, while ‘silence is gold’. With the editors
of periodicals devoted to some special object
‘silence’ in some cases amounts to cowardice
and false pretences. Such shall not be our case.”

(H.P.B., in the opening lines of her article
“A Reply to Our Critics”, which is included
in “A Modern Panarion”, H.P. Blavatsky,
Theosophy Co., 1981,  504 pp., see p. 387)
