Dave you have written a wonderful essay here (not included--find at 
RSS), but let me make it even better:

But what an atheist you are. Why this diatribe about humans not 
being human? We are spiritual beings having a human experience--
don't you know that by now? I came back from meditation with a 
similar thought however. It was how former Jews have taken Humanity 
from God (Judaism) to science (physics). One of the first Nobel 
prizes for particle physics was awarded to a Jew. But I bet he is 
not a practicing Jew, but probably an atheist like yourself. Thus 
your thesis is correct we do have much in common with our brother, 
we are all related.

Now, before you get yourself all crunched up, you mention the role 
of Saligram (HPB's former pupil) and how he started RS. And I could 
see how this Sikh started RS with the spiritual blessing of HPB. I 
have always said that it came from Theosophy and this is the 
importance of Julian Johnson who wrote one of its MOST well read 
books: Path of the Masters, in which he comes off as anti-Semitic. I 
think the root of it is simple: it is a struggle for God's pat on 
the head, the recognition of being "The Chosen." 

So all of Christiandom is fighting with Islam and with Judaism for 
that special place in God's bosom. The Jews are in a high place 
because being the purveyors of one the world's first great 
religions, they got the nod from God early on. And I think they have 
simply moved on (not all but as an oversoul) to the heights of 
science.

For those who think I am not indebted to their work, they are crazy. 
Because no one, I mean no one can read any textbook or physics 
material without finding some Jewish scientist behind it beginning 
of course with Einstein. My prejudice against them is simple: their 
extreme materialism is really my bone of contention. That is the 
honest-to-God truth. And think about it people--there is nothing 
more material than science. This fact means that we are all 
materialists at heart, because are all indebted to science and to 
technology.

But with the work of an obscure black woman (Netemara) and the work 
of the scientists of the world we will come full circle and all join 
hands around the burnt-out canyons of Meggido and sing "Free at 
last, thank God we are free at last!"
