Theos-Talk Archives (December 2004 Message tt00016)

Dear All,

The problem of power and who takes it is not
something limited to the errings of certain careerist
Theosophists but can also be found in gurudom....and
indeed, in many other walks of life. I was a member of
the TS in the 1980s and hope to rejoin for research
reasons as the library at the London Centre is always
useful. However, I met someone who may be still alive,
and her name was Miss Storey if I recall rightly. She
had what was termed a gammey leg but what struck me
most was her evident interest in climbing up the
Theosophical promotion ladder. In other words, she had
a thirst for "power". This I found to be somewhat odd
as TS is meant to be interested in the spiritual.
Infact, one reason why I left it was because I found
the members cold, and unfriendly. However, if I went
to a Radhasoami Satsang meeting the whole room would
be saturated with the pure vibrant energies of love
which would lift my conciousness upwards. At the TS I
felt I had entered a funeral parlour, or a mausoleum
which is a shame. Otherwise, I have great respect for
the writings of the Theosophists notably ofcourse
Blavatsky, and Leadbeater.

I assume Leslie Price still plays at active part in
the TS. What fascinated me about him was his sharp
mind, and alert attention.
