I finally decided what this list is missing. We have had lots of references
to a sister-list called theos-l and many subscribers of this list are
subscribers there. Now what we need to recommend is that for people who are
interested there is a TS-run discussion group called NL-L. This list could
use a lot more advertisement here because this is where John Algeo, Joan
McDougal and many popular members of the TS who have worked on staff (or
not) come together to discuss the theosophical work. They are studying THE
VOICE OF THE SILENCE and have studied I.K. Taimini also, I believe.

Joan will post a conglomerate of material when she has a group (or even
single pieces, if there appears to be a lull) and she has complete control
over what messages if any get printed. In this way, there is no sensitive
material or  ridicule or fights, just harmony and peaceful discussion.

Please everyone join here and write with the staff at Olcott as much as you
like. They would look forward to it. Please Doss and Thoa, especially, get
active here. I don't know why I didn't think of it before?!

Yours truly,

Brenda
