Theos-Talk Archives (August 2001 Message tt00067)

Doss:
I think with the increased use of Internet, a day will come when those
interested in theosophy will come to theosophy via Internet not via one of
the organizations. And over a period of time the walls between organizations
becomes insignificant except for those who have an axe to grind either
exoterically
or esoterically.

Frank:
Who is meant here? Do you talking to me asyou use the axe phrase that once
Leon was using regarding to me?
Why not clear state whom and what is meant? Is this an open list or are we
playing cat and dog?
Suppose you are speaking to me I do not understand you, because all what you
wrote about is my own policy.
I am perhaps in that debate the only one who is independent and belongs to
no organization.
That you hint to the exoteric and esoteric is a good key. In early
Christendom the truth seekers (the gnostics, the esotericists) were soon
persecuted and slandered by the exoteric dead letter majority. The same
seems 2000 years later again happen. The Theosophists are slandered and
persecuted within the Theosophical Movement in just the same manner.
Jealously and ignorance are strong forces.
Why do you know anything about my motives that you label me with the phrase
"grind the axe".

Does that mean that anyone who protests against lies and slanders is
automatically a bad boy? From which moral code do you conclude that?
As a long time member I remember well other heavy debates about Leadbeater
etc. in which you always laid your finger in the wound and remarked that the
theosophical organizations have a closed shop policy. I never came to the
idea whether you have an axe to grind.

Why then is it OK with you to have debates about Adyar, John Algeo,
financial affairs, trustees, the Boston lodge etc. etc. but when the turns
comes to the ULT then we have new rules. Are you in anyway involved wth the
ULT? Has Theosophy to loose something when cover ups are coming to light? I
don't think so.
