Theos-Talk Archives (April 2006 Message tt00184)

My views are:

Allright.
This is a short answer to your question:

I hold it to be true, that most theosophical teachings, which are used by 
Theosophical groups
and organisations are targetting a western audience or westernized 
audience - and certainly not a Middle Eastern one. This is - today - in our 
present informations society not an expression of compassion or altruism. I 
find it to be an expression of westernized narrowmindedness.

Today we have the western massmedias overwhelmingly influence on 
communication around the globe. The western massmedias are with their news 
flashes and the like creating a distorted image of the Middle East. And they 
have succeed in fooling many beginner Theosophists and even Theosophical 
teachers on what the Middle East is.
