But, then, if we don't keep on trying -- nobody ever will. 

At least, Blavatsky gave us a new base from which to start. 

Also, there's power in numbers -- if only serious theosophists would learn 
how to pool their energies and their gained knowledge in that direction -- 
rather than spin their wheels in internecine squabbling, or nit picking points of 
protocol and/or personality foibles of the founders and their followers. 

Why would all that energy be expended by the masters and their messengers -- 
to go on permanent record with the formerly esoteric fundamental teachings and 
expose them to the entire world at this time -- if there wasn't a good chance 
of our succeeding in this century? My take is that if we don't, the whole 
evolutionary process might grind to a halt with a little "big bang" before the 
next. So, what are we waiting for?

They keep on coming back again -- so what's the problem? 
(Other than time catching up to us laggards, along with all the blind 
wanderers in the dark, and destroying the whole bunch in one fell swoop -- so we'll 
have to start over from scratch.) :-(
