Hi Paul,

Welcome back from your sojourn into wherever you went. I've been a 
bit in and out myself lately, but caught this one.

You know me, all dyed in the wool etc. (Please don't call me a 
fundamentalist however. That I cannot cop to) but I always wonder why 
we "theosophists etc" feel so drawn to beating the same dead horse 
over and over again instead of getting on with the work outlined so 
clearly in the literature? Is it perhaps because we feel deserted? Or 
do we find it just too difficult? I realize that I have a sort or 
unusual situation, living in a community devoted to manifesting the 
principles of occultism in daily life, so get a lot of support, but 
this also tends to exacerbate the level of "testing" that goes on. 
Any ideas? Or maybe all this anachronistic "discussion" serves some 
purpose that escapes me?

All the best and looking forward to you inimitable pov,
Adelasie
