I have always been inspired by this example which Mr.  Judge set.
On a much smaller scale, I've tried it and it works.  I don't
know if I could find the right label for the occult law, but
there is something about sending out a certain kind of intention
and energy that draws the right people.  When I lived in
Cambridge Mass.  I put out fliers for a Theosophy class, and
began holding it alone in a building on campus.  Gradually,
gradually, people came aboard, and after two years we had a group
of 12 people and we were working on the SECRET DOCTRINE after
graduating from the OCEAN OF THEOSOPHY.  The group was very
mixed, some Bailey students, some Krishnamurti students, some
HPB/Judge people, and we had disagreements, but I was always
amazed that insight did come through, and largely BECAUSE of the
variety of viewpoints.

I just don't want Bee to feel that people are pushing her to
start some huge organization and be the star of Australia.  From
all I've heard of Bee's work, it sounds very impressive.  I
remember words from a Master's letter that I think speaks for all
of us on THEOSOPHY WORLD (though I don't have the exact wording),
"He who does all he can and the best that he knows, does enough
for US."
