Hallo all, 

My views are:

An excerpt from this link might be helpful
to some of the ongiong debates on TS Adyar or the "Back to Blavatsky messages".

Theosophy:

My view is something like the following. Theosophy is today called a Movement by
scholars. And a number of socalled Theosophist agree on this definition, and
sometimes not without a certain feeling of pride or awe. Theosophy today has
since the beginning in 1875 been divived into various branches. Some of them
clinging to the core teachings made by Blavatsky and a few contemporary writers
using the physical letter. Others have chosen a successor to Blavatskys and
others core teachings from the early days of Theosophy. Most of them agree on
that Altruism is important. Their level of knowledge about it differs.



W. Q. Judge writes shortly after Blavatskys physical death, and I quote Judge:
"In the Key to Theosophy, in the "Conclusion," H.P.B. again refers to this
subject and expresses the hope that the Society might not, after her death,
become dogmatic or crystallize on some phase of thought or philosophy, but that
it might remain free and open, with its members wise and unselfish. And in all
her writings and remarks, privately or publicly, she constantly reiterated this
idea. Of this the writer has direct evidence as to her statements in private."
("Dogmatism in Theosophy" by W. Q. Judge, Path, January, 1892).

This is to me a KEY statement.
