Well, would you agree that there is a valid distinction between
good and bad art, and kitsch seems to prevail in some brands of
"esoteric" art? It seems to me that *some* measure of the
profundity and value of a spiritual teaching (not necessarily
its literal truth) is the quality of the art it inspires.
Anthroposophy and Theosophy come out fine on that score; I AM,
not so good.

Am just trying to figure out the range of your collecting
interests and how much of it is tongue-in-cheek and how much
serious appreciation.

Cheers,
PJ
