Regarding "doors".  Many doors implies potential of many views as
to what Theosophy is, or, alternatively, many rooks in which
ceretain aspects of "Theosophy" might be found -- if one knows
how.

Either THEOSOPHY is a diffuse and unascertainable amorphous
nebulous thing or else:

2.  THEOSOPHY is a statement of facts in Nature.  A statement of
history regarding any and every aspect of Nature's vast treasure
house.

If we take THEOSOPHY to be ONE or "many" it is We who are making
the distinctions.  If so, what do we do this ? Each will answer
to himelf .

If THESOSOPHY is ONE UNITY then there can be no question about
its statements any more than we would question a mathematical
axiom, or a statement concerning an historical event (not
argument as to its cause); or a formula for a chemical compound.
Those are not debatable.

Consequently if one desires to make of theosophy something
pliable and wishy-washy, then one is not in search of TRUTH.
Theosophy ought to be quated in every one's mind with ETERNAL
TRUTH.  I say this even though there will be inevitable discusion
as to which or what facet of a TRUTH is seen or described.
Diferences are made by our PERSONALITIES, and not by the
INDIVIDUALITY (Atma-Buddhi-Manas).

Hence THEOSOPHY IS ONE TEMPLE it is that of fact and truth and
these being universal everyonw can trust them and not argue about
whether they are likable or not.

Water or air is/are essential to living.  We do not argue about
them when we need them.
