Theos-Talk Archives (April 2006 Message tt00290)

Friends,


Everything that is authentic has its false counterparts, its lifeless shells, its cheap imitations.

Every important movement has its Trojan Horses, too.  (Judas, in the New Testament, is a nice metaphor for that ). 

The Theosophical Movement is far from being an exception, and I would not call C. W. Leadbeater's and Annie Besant's "esoteric" work by the name of "neotheosophy".  It is  only pseudo-theosophy.  Why is that? 

In a comparative view, we see that neopythagoreanism,  neostoicism, neoplatonism, etc., are all authentic movements and innerly consistent with the original teachings.  

As C. W. Leadbeater's ritualistic views and fancies about Masters are entirely false, even though they are presented as "Theosophy", they must be recognized as "pseudo-theosophical" and not as "neotheosophical".  

Everything which is not authentic goes into oblivion, sooner or later,  and CWL's books, once popular, are now being gradually abandoned, while H. P. Blavatsky's books are more and more widely read,  in more countries. 

But then -- we also have to deal with Trojan Horses inside the community of people who study H. P. B.  There is no problem with that. 

It is part of life. It's all too human. It is cyclic.  

Fortunately, Saturn in Leo is NOT a good time to false things or persons, and we have Saturn in Leo now.  In the next few years, we will se more authenticity.  

Best regards,  Carlos.
