I'm not interested in starting any organization. What I see is that
organizations can do more harm than good. I'm only writing about what I
hold dear to me. Let me correct myself: as far as I can think of, the only
thing that I wrote on my main page is its introduction (history), all the
other articles are written by other theosophists and every single one is
credited. On top of the Adyar page there is an introduction written by me
explaining what Adyar represents to me. I never assumed any official
position there either, and so far nobody has taken it as official, I hope.
Most of my material is taken from other sources not mine.
