Theos-Talk Archives (June 2003 Message tt00027)

As I tend to see it, students of Theosophy, in 
general, seem to occasionally show signs , (as per 
A.L. Cleather's THE GREAT BETRAYAL, for 
example), of differences of opinion about what 
might be called (?) the "spirit of Theosophy as 
brought to us by HPB." Which might remind one, 
incidentally, that only a short couple of thousand 
years ago (kind of like just yesterday?) there were 
differences of opinion about another messenger, 
Jesus, which differences resulted in ... But we all 
know about that story, don't we?

I think I'm trying to say, in other words, that as long 
as there's karma, there are differences of opinion, so 
if we really don't want to have differences of 
opinion ... Of course, on the other hand (?), if "the 
quality of spirituality" is seen as a highly relevant 
matter in Theosophy, then, (one might wonder?), if 
the diffrerences of opinion about such "key 
concerns re spirituality" (on whatever interpretive 
level) might tend to occasionally promote some kind 
of Theosophical wars, in some ways ... Of course, on 
the other hand (?), one can at least preTEND to be a 
peaceable type, at any rate, if that's seen as keyish, 
so ...

Speculatively,
Mauri
