Bart,

There is more than one Theosophical Society. We even refer to the
Theosophical Society when we speak of the Theosophical Movement. When I
speak about the Theosophical Society I mean the Society that was founded in
1875 with the ideals that it had in 1875. The Society that *is* based on
Universal Brotherhood. How do you explain when somebody claims that a
member cannot write about the Theosophical Society because he doesn't hold
any official position in it? That he needs to ask Wheaton permission. I'm
sorry but I don't agree with that position. That goes against Universal
Brotherhood. To me there is no difference among any theosophists regardless
of what organization they are affiliated: Adyar, ULT, Pasadena, or any
other. We all are working for the same Cause, and definitely we don't need
to ask permission to anybody to implement theosophy the way we think is
appropriate.
