It is, IMO is that many a theosophist forget the 
real importance of self-realization and understanding 
of its essence and drive dangerously in the harful 
intellectual challenges of theorical discussions.
You are all using theosophical data stored in records 
of hystory as a competition to show who has more 
informed opinions than others and that is disgusting 
to see people who consider themselves theosophers.
Theosophy for many is still intellectual awareness, 
and knowing by heart centuries-back incidents bears 
like haughtiness is a sign of triumph, a personal medal 
while it is pure intellect and that drives nowhere 
but vanity and egoism.

But Krishtar, why assign motives and negative characteristics
to those whom you really know nothing about?

As they said in America in the 1960s, different strokes
for different folks.

I agree with you about the "real importance of 
self-realization and understanding of its essence." 
But does that mean we should therefore ignore history? 

Throughout H.P. Blavatsky's writings we see history as
well as philosophy and mysticism. 

By all means pursue your interest in what you 
consider important but please don't denigrate others
for being interested in other subjects.

Here on Theos-Talk can we not pursue more than
one subject or topic? Post something on "self-
realization" if that is important to you.
