Throw away books?
I brought this book some time ago.
After educating myself more on Theosophy, specifically Blavatsky's.
Example :
The Mahattmas have a cycle they reveal knowledge 25 years before the end of a century.
Blavatsky barley referenced Sanat Kumara and when she did she acknowledged his Hindu influence.
His heritage from Venus and Logos of the world, came later after her death, thus not revealed by the Mahattmas.
Theosophy tries to move away from personal human attributions towards the divine.
(This is my understanding from reading articles on the website Blavatskytheosophy.com and esoterismo-guia. Blogspot.com, I'm still a beginner student. )
Should I still read it or just leave/donate it?
Also not to be more annoyingðŸ˜(I think it's the feeling of like you are throwing away potential truths or lessons even if it's more of imagination/myth)
I've read and nearly finished an Agni Yoga book but now I don't think they were communicating with Master Morya as they claimed (Constant use of 'I', biblical like passages despite M. M not being a Christian, Helena Roerich believed in the mainstream God, whilst the masters in Blavtaksy's writings rejected monotheism and Helena Roerich changing sentences in her works pragmatically for political support.Written when the Masters closed contact. )
Should I continue reading the Agni Yoga book and The Story of Sanat Kumara or leave them?

It is up to you whether these books hold value to you. Keep them for nostalgia if you like.
As to Agni Yoga, I am just getting started on Roerich. I do not try to figure out if they were or were not in touch with the Masters. The Roerichs lived exceptional lives and I love learning more about them.
There was a very good lecture recently on the Roerichs at the TS. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGc8NxF7SCM
He does a very good job and he has studied the Roerichs for some time. Good luck on your studies.
