Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt01210)

Hi Lenny,

Based on this one particular thing
that you said in the below message:

====================================
Problem is maintaining an underlying
pure theosophical philosophical basis
that would "entertain," "teach"
subliminally or metaphorically, and
awaken interest in theosophy -- without
an obvious New Age "message" that would
trigger a religious or political backlash.
==========================================

...I'm only throwing this out in order
for you folks to consider the good and bad
that would come from actually tactically
wanting to "trigger a religious or
political backlash." My reasons for
wanting this to least be considered
are the following: Look what such a
worldwide uproar that the "Passion Of
The Christ" picture created, along with
the very huge money flow that it all
generated. And besides the political
and religious backlash, if wanted, and
if presented correctly, an additional
backlash would come from the vast
"New Age" community itself.
