Re: Adyar TS is the only true Theosophical Society

Dear Friends:

Re: responsibility for the THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY 

It certainly seems unreasonable to assume that the Great Founders of the
THEOSOPHICAL MOVEMENT [The Masters of Wisdom] would assume total
responsibility for the follies of innumerable persons who contact the
THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY and who may later seek a "scape goat" for their own
cowardice.

As I understand it, Karma dos not work that way. It is equal justice for
all.

They taught virtue, as a matter of practical daily life, and they showed
that it was based on the laws of justice and the brotherhood of all beings,
that together, constitute our Universe and our Earth.

Blame cannot be shifted to others.

Best wishes,

Dallas

The masters KH & M both agreed to take all responsibility for all the
consequences of the theosophical society (or something similar--I
can't remember my source, forgive me). This includes, I would suspect,
other theosophical societies being created in the process. I wouldn't
consider them any less divine than Adyar.

My personal opinion -- It's not like these other societies are
sacrificing small animals to satan; they are in fact working in
accordance with theosophical ideals.
