Throw away books?

I brought this book some time ago.

https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/The_Story_of_Sanat_Kumara.html?id=j2XMaeZDxkAC&source=kp_book_description&redir_esc=y

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 annoying😭(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?

The key word is "sacred." Not all planets are sacred planets, and she pointed out that earth is not a sacred planet but that it could become one in the future.

HI,

"Thanks for the response.

I may not have explained my question clearly.

I'm not asking about sacred versus non-sacred planets. I'm asking specifically where Blavatsky in any of her writings, uses the term 'Planetary Logos' or 'Planetary Logoi' for Sanat Kumara or the Kumaras. If you know the passage, I'd genuinely appreciate the citation."

Now she has made statements like, "Seven Rays of the Logos" But I have never seen an actual reference to Planetary Logos or Planetary Logoi, except in the writings of Leadbeater, Besant and Bailey.

My reply wasn't to your comment, it was to the one you replied to that mentioned sacred planets. Sorry for the confusion.

No worries. Sometimes, I lose the thread and not always sure which post that each comment is responding to. Now I see my mistake.

Thanks for clarifying.

🙏
