Theos-Talk Archives (July 2004 Message tt00416)

Hi Anand,

I do appreciate you mailing in this group, even when I'm writing the
below:

Theosophy is not about 'faith', it's about finding truth (and living
it). Confusion is necessary in the learning process, it indicates that
a person is aware that they don't know yet... 

Also 'You can't allow' such loss in members???? Golly - are you the
TS-president now? The truth is a bit more important than whether the
TS keeps enough members. Personally I feel that the lack of debate
inside the TS (and in its magazines) is one of the reasons that many
intelligent people don't feel very attracted to the TS. For instance,
Pedro's article against putting HPB on a pedestal couldn't be
criticized within The Theosophist. Makes that magazine seem partial,
even if it does publicize many articles that do base themselves mainly
on Blavatsky. 

Anyhow, your sensoring tactics have already lost your group my
membership. Not much of a loss for you, probably, as you seem to share
Pedro's wish for 'uninformed opinions'.

It very badly affects new members and they lose faith in Theosophy. So
their spiritual development suffers. I can't allow such loss to
members. I knew Judge affair long back but I never posted any negative
massage about Judge on any of my web-sites or groups. I never
criticized Judge or his work because I know it only harms Theosophical
movement. You know first object of TS is to form nucleus of Universal
Brotherhood. If you want to live first objective of the Theosophical
Society see that your postings to your web-sites and books you suggest
are not spreading suspicion, confusion among members.
