Freedom of opinion in TS publications?

Aug 10, 2004 01:33 AM
by Perry Coles


It's a great concern to me that a policy of "ignorance is bliss" 
or "ignore it and it will all go away" seeming to be a part of a the 
society's way of dealing with the CWL/NeoTheosophy issues.
A state of co-dependence has developed in the society imho and lack 
of support for the freedom of speech of those who point out the 
difference between the CWL and HPB/Mahatma's this is outrages beyond 
belief.
(Unless I am mistaken and can be given some positive assurance that 
this is not the case)
Does freedom of thought and freedom to compare different traditions 
in the societies publications exist in the Societies mandate? 
The hypocrisy of this state of "organizational culture" should be 
unacceptable for any theosophical student no matter how you feel 
about CWL.
I hope one day the society can not be so tied to a dogma and guru 
worship that it will be able to become that which it was meant to be 
with open Socratic dialogue in all its publications.
The irony is that the Theosophy in Australia magazine has just 
published an article that criticizes the Secret Doctrine quite 
strongly and to that I say GREAT!!! that's the true theosophical 
spirit.
But why oh why not CWL ???
