Dear Thoa:
I'm emailing all of this debate onto my husband.
Thank you for saying that.
Two years ago I stood in our living room and ranted and raved that very
thing until I was exhausted.
That was at the time when he was totally seduced by the writings of HPB
et al and was convinced that being a good Theosophist was being
brilliant at words.  Deeds were secondary.  Life was MY illusion that he
no longer needed to acknowledge.


Dear Alan:
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for bringing this issue to the List and
into our hearts.  Do you remember?  Do you remember the hug you gave me
and welcomed me to join the lists?

By the time I have finished, I shall know more about Theosophy,
religions of the world, theosophists and life, than most people!

It's a good thing I'm thousands of miles away, or I might turn up with a
big white board and a red thermometer on it showing "funds raised to
target".  :)))

Hope everyone is coping well and crisis is being kept at bay.
Blessed Be
Annette
