Re: [theos-talk] Theosophical Teachings vs. Theosophical Movement

Hi John, 

I think the idea of a broader reaching web site that deals specifically with 
the science of theosophy is a very good idea. But, upon careful thought, 
however, I don't think I could be able to manage such a project by myself. Even 
the transcription and correlation of my own letters (which are already in the 
archives of those forums) would take me months to edit and format for such a 
site. I was thinking of doing that for the book I started writing -- for which 
I have several chapters and a bunch of diagrams that I've been working on over 
the years. But even that, after transcribing and editing about 30 of my 
letters to the various consciousness study forums about six years ago, became too 
much for me. And, I've put it aside, and have been stalling about getting 
back to it for years. I have even given up working on my web sites and haven't 
added or subtracted anything much to speak of in the last three or four years. 
Also, AOL mail is a lousy proprietary system, and all the scientific letters, 
of which there are hundreds, have to be transferred to a word processor, 
edited and formatted -- which takes time and effort... And that stops me from 
continuing to be up to date on the current and timely teachings of the scientific 
aspects of theosophy that I like to keep studying and working on. 

So, unless a volunteer can be found who is prepared to work full time on such 
a transcription and editing project, along with the maintenance and 
monitoring of a web site -- while collaborating with me as simply the designer and 
overall guide or director -- I don't think I have the time or energy to handle it. 


Best wishes,

Lenny

Hi Lenny,

I want you to know that if you lead the way and invite all theosophical 
scientists,
from all organizations, and from none, to come together in order to create a 
separate
web site to post all things ., such as a lot of the scientific
content that is found in many of your letters, for starters, and as a wise 
team begin
to skillfully dialogue with scientists throughout the world, I will put a 
link to it in
the science section of my WisdomWorld.org additional articles index page that 
is found
in this link:
http://www.wisdomworld.org/additional/index.html#4

...and I'm pretty sure that all other theosophical web sites would also 
provide a link
to the new site that the team that comes together creates. Hopefully many 
people from
the various theosophical organizations will respond to this suggestion in 
order to give
their opinions and ideas and to encourage you and offer you help in getting 
this new
much needed theosophical activity under way.

I volunteer to pay for all the fees related to starting and maintaining this 
new web
site, month to month and year to year.
