Should an "ideal", non-dogmatic, all-inclusive
Theosophical Society study and "promote" all
these books?
Books by Blavatsky, Sinnett, Judge, Besant,
Leadbeater, Tingley, G. de Purucker, Olcott,
Bailey, La Due, Ballard, Roerich,
Prophet, Chaney, Steiner, Hodson, King, Crosbie,
Wadia, Scott, Heindel, Innocente, Shearer, and
other "Theosophical" writers.
As well as books by various yogis, lamas,
metaphysicans, sufis, spirtualists, psychical reseachers,
kabalists, etc. etc. etc. etc.
I believe that almost all the above named individuals
have claimed contact with the "Masters" and all
their books could broadly be called "theosophical".
Who is to say what and what is not Theosophy or
Theosophical?
And who is to say what or what is not to be studied
and promoted in a Theosophical Society or group?
The three major Theosophical organizations (TS Adyar,
TS Pasadena and ULT) all feature, study and promote only
certain authors.
Therefore are these three groups being "dogmatic" or in fact
promoting a "fundamentalistic" version of Theosophy by in
fact "limiting" which authors are promoted/studied???
Hopefully some food for thought...
