Bart, Jerry, et al...

This seems to me to be a most valuable statement. It resonates with 
the most basic foundation of the ancient wisdom, the Unity of all 
Life. I attended the 1994 Krotona Conference, part of a delegation 
from a tiny theosophical organization from Central California, The 
Temple of the People, and I chiefly remember the awe and delight I 
felt at finding such a wealth of interesting, intelligent and devoted 
theosophists. I hadn't known previously that such organizations 
existed, and it seemed suddenly that our little bunch was a part of a 
huge family. What a delight to find that the work we feel to be so 
important to the future of the human race has so many more dedicated 
people to do it than we had known.

I remember very vividly mention of the coming "paradigm shift," and 
mention as well of networking on the internet. The latter has 
certainly come to pass, and seems to me to be a very powerful tool in 
the dissemination of teachings. If I may, could we talk a bit about 
the paradigm shift? Is this perhaps a way of considering how 
theosophy can help serious people understand how to become effective 
participants in the tremendous changes occurring in this cycle? 

Fraternally,
