Theos-Talk Archives (December 2005 Message tt00117)

Hi Cass,
Good to hear from you again,I get a bit annoyed at Annand's 
postings at times I think it gives a distorted veiw of Theosophy which must 
have a detrimental effect on those who are new to TS giving the immpression 
that they see these sweeping statements, oblivious to facts and reality its 
like "dont confuse me with the facts I've already made my mind up!!" then 
put up as dogma and fundamentalism!
I would not like to think that I am dogmatic or fundamentalist, 
Rahda Burnier, when she visited me a couple of months ago did not seem to 
think so, on the contrary she had a lot to say on the restrictive outlook of 
certain elements in India and elsewhere that discredit the work that so many 
Theosophists do throughout the world. We do not need the disharmony or 
acrimony.Life is to short to plaster about with one persons with single 
minded topic which at the end of the day is irrelevant who is President, 
Vice President, it is the movement not the exhaltation of the individual. 
that is important.
Anyway How does Santa Claus like his pizzas?

Deep-panned crisp and even.
on that cringe-worthy note I shall bid farewell, for the momment.
cheers Iain
