Theos-Talk Archives (August 2003 Message tt00039)

Joe,

I have also wondered at the insular nature of Theosphical groups. Excellent comment.
This is certainly a fruitful topic. When open minded Theosophists tackle such issues then positive change may be in the wind..

Your frustration shows that you care.

P.S.

I hope this opens up a good discussion. By sharing our viewpoints maybe we can learn to spread Theosophical ideas in an even more skillful manner.

Sorry for the mis-impression. Rather than interpreting your remarks 
as quietism, I found them very fascinating...and as always, on the 
mark. My comments were directed more towards what I see as a 
tendency within the Theosophical movement that seemed to have its 
start after the Krishnamurti debacle in 1927 (which may have affected 
the PL and ULT folk in ways that they maybe didn't realize at the 
time). I have always been quite amazed at how we Theosophists can 
have all of the knowledge and wisdom that we do, but on the other 
hand be so insular with it that the world at large barely knows of 
our existence...the result of either excessive caution or lack of 
self-confidence, or loss of nerve on the part of the collective 
Theosophical movement.

Joe
