Jerry: Whether
formed by committee or some other means any body that works in the world to
forward the ORIGINAL TEACHINGS has value. It is
quite true that owing to politics and partisanship the “societies” have
diverged from the ideals H.P.B. had originally set and supported. No one
prevents an individual from continuing to work individually or with many
so-called Theosophical groups and lists to continue the thread of promulgation
as a personal responsibility. Theosophy,
if anything teaches the individual to be responsible only to the PRINCIPLESand
not to any “authorities.” The sole
authority for each is his own HIGHER SELF. The T.S. is a body dedicated originally to study
and promulgate the Natural Truths that anyone could discover and prove for
themselves. The value of an
organization was that individuals could mutually consult and arrive at some
joint ideas, which were then to be used (or not) by the INDIVIDUALS. Our KARMA is always INDIVIDUAL. By joining a TS we surrender nothing of
our personal responsibilities. The
ORIGINAL LITERATURE of Theosophy is due to H.P.B. and the Masters. No interpreters. s a universal LAW p- KARMA.hile the BOD Best
wishes, Dallas ================== -----Original Message----- Thank you so much everyone for the great
references. The picture I get is that HPB had certain objectives she was
obliged to carry out and tried to do so through the TS. But the TS was
formed by committee, and we all know from experience that anything done by
committee always turns out differently than what any single member has in mind.
