Yes, I totally agree with you. We must not stick on the past. But
paradoxically enough history repeats itself: A new Century, a new culture,
new circumstances, new people. But in truth they are the old people making
the old mistakes again and again. Names, dates and bodies change, but the
ideas behind that scenes are the same. What happened in 1945 in Point
Loma-Covina is similar to the situation that happened 50 years before in
1895 in New York with the attacks against Judge or what happened in 1885 in
Adyar when HPB and the Masters were kicked off by the selfish board. And the
same things happened around 2,000 years ago when the then new fishes age
begun. Do we always follow the bad old tracks? To know the details of
theosophical history is our chance to learn from that and to incarnate under
better circumstances in the next life. We start next time exactly were we
end now, not elsewhere.

Surely there is no escape for those who destroyed all what 70 years long
(1875-1945) was built up by the Masters and their messengers, down to GdeP.
And GdeP saw the coming of the bad situation following his death. That's the
reason why he wrote a testimony. It is public, the ECLECTIC printed it
several times. That is not subjectivity, it is on the record. Everyone
interested in the disruption of the International HQ of the Point Loma
Society can read GdeP's testimony and come to his/her own conclusions. But
the dark side won not all. Pasadena became merely a kind of museum, unaware
of the occult keys, worshipping the new "leaders", but in several countries
many independent Point Loma groups survived the disruption of their HQ and
they are working until today, although they are persecuted by Darth Vader.
Let's see what the future has in store. Perhaps the Imperial forces will
find new situations.
