The February edition of the Aquarian is largely dedicated to the challenges of studying esoteric philosophy.
Page one brings the article “Learning Theosophy: A Knowledge Beyond Words”, which says:
“It is often difficult for students of esoteric philosophy to fully grasp basic facts. Among them, the fact that philosophical knowledge is not in words, and is not conveyed by them. Knowledge has to be transmitted or achieved in some other way. One can count on the help, but not more than the help, of the written teachings. It took me quite a while to realize the many implications of this fact.”
The text proceeds:
“Between 1999 and 2002 I identified and documented the deep gap that separates the authentic teachings of theosophy from the pseudo-esoteric fantasies produced in the period between 1892 and 1933. I then naively thought that the rational, sincere study of the authentic teachings would generate an efficient theosophical action.”
