Theos-Talk Archives (January 2005 Message tt00762)

Sure I agree with you on that Anand.
They came as far as I know first with the numbers and information in a sort 
of complete form.
So the books historical value, should not be overlooked.


But, what about this one:
1. The Theosophical Society and Its Future
http://www.theos-world.com/archives/html/tw199706.html#ARTICLE0097

2. HPB on the importance of distribution of elementary litterature

"Here in England Theosophy is waking into new life. The slanders and absurd 
inventions of the Society for Psychical Research have almost paralyzed it, 
though only for a very short time, and the example of America has stirred 
the English Theosophists into renewed activity. "LUCIFER" sounded the 
reveille, and the first fruit has been the founding of the "Theosophical 
Publication Society." This Society is of great importance. It has undertaken 
the very necessary work of breaking down the barrier of prejudice and 
ignorance which has formed so great an impediment to the spread of 
Theosophy. It will act as a recruiting agency for the Society by the wide 
distribution of elementary literature on the subject, among those who are in 
any way prepared to give ear to it. The correspondence already received 
shows that it is creating an interest in the subject, and proves that in 
every large town in England there exist quite enough isolated Theosophists 
to form groups or Lodges under charter from the Society. But, at present, 
these students do not even know of each other's existence, and many of them 
have never heard of the Theosophical Society until now. I am thoroughly 
satisfied of the great utility of this new Society, composed as it is to a 
large extent of members of the Theosophical Society, and being under the 
control of prominent Theosophists, such as you, my dear Brother W. Q. Judge, 
Mabel Collins, and the Countess Wachtmeister. "

A few comments:

BUT, what kind of elementary litterature aught one to recommend? - And 
recommend even today?
Is it Occult Chemistry based on an author named C. W. Leadbeater with a 
reputation, which screams to the higher powers for help?
No. I disagree.

I understand that the book Occult Chemistry is an important piece of work - 
if it was created clairvoyantly.
Something I agree upon to a certain extend. But its target group was clearly 
not science. And this is very important.
Because if its target group was science it is clearly showing lack of 
content and methodology compared with a given timframe and science back in 
those days.

It is true how ever:
The beginner theosophists wants fuss, fancies and drama. And with Leadbeater 
they certianly will get it. >:-)
But, it is today becomming a real problem, that beginner theosophists is 
CLEARLY being lead to believe that this
C. W. Leadbeater was a great pal - 'one of our own' a true initiate, who 
almost needs to be praised to the sky for his activities -
WHEN the beginner theosophists later gets backstabbed with his sex-scandals 
and what not.

But if they like backstabbing at TS Adyar, that is what the Law of Karma 
will take care of.
Do we need such kind of glamour, popery, pomp and circumstance?

I raise my voice in protest against such a policy in TS Adyar.
(It is romoured, that HPB rotates in her grave, where someone recently has 
placed the book Occult Chemistry.)

But is is maybe all of it a question about - 'chemistry'.
