Theos-Talk Archives (May 2005 Message tt00294)

There are writings that for some people may make sense and for others non sense and where some people sees non sense others may see sense. What is nonsense indeed might have much sense if some can get rid of their pre-conceits. 

 

I respect and admire the try some members and sympathizers of the T.S. madeand are making to unveil some unknown aspects of the early theosophical history. Three years now I am in the online forums and except some interesting information, most of it are quarrels disagreements, original teachings non original teachings etc. It is not possible to depreciate and to ignore every honest try to help the theosophical cause even if some mistakes were done. It is not possible to judge with so much cold blood and to condemn others. Blavatsky was not the unique not the first not the last messenger or teacher that appeared and will appear on earth. 

 

Someone can’t just say that whatever is not in Blavatsky writings is second hand theosophy, this is an insult. Theosophy existed much before the T.S. be founded, the Neo-Platonism was a great theosophical movement on which the founders of the T.S. try to use as a base-model for the new Society.

 

There were in the near and in the distant past great theosophists and such truth will be covered only by the minds that are but cultivating a non theosophical spirit. Theosophy is not only the teachings of Blavatsky in the Secret Doctrine or in other of her writings. 

 

See I want to make clear here the following ironically here in Greece in mylectures I am giving a great emphasize to the teachings of Blavatsky because such are not much known and divulgate here. I do consider her teachings of great relevance there is no doubt of that. But this does not give the right for fundamentalist going around declaring that theosophy is only the teachings of H.P.B. and nothing else. This spirit of arrogance and almost fanaticism is but a disfavor for the Theosophical Cause. Try to follow a middle path is the idea and this does not means that one will not preserve and divulgate teh teachings of Blavatsky, but one will do so but also with a kind and gentle heart respect other theosophist that have dedicated their lives for the theosophical cause.
