=>You are certainly entitled to your opinions but

Daniel,
I know but.
But to me it is the contrary, to me the ULT is
extreme.
>All the ULT associates I have either met or
>corresponded
with are (at least from my perspective) quite
sincere students
of Theosophy and of H.P. Blavatsky's writings.
Maybe, I cannot speak of personal meetings with
them, because here is no ULT, I speak of course
only from my experiences on theos-talk.
>Most of the Theosophy Company publications I
>highly recommend.
For example the 3 volume set of HPB's articles is
such a
useful and economical collection of her articles.
Really? One long-term American student assured me,
that the reprintes articles of HPB and WQJ have
been silently/invisible edited.
>"The ULT is really a sick sect and has
>practically nothing to do
with Blavatsky."
I certainly don't see it that way but, of course,
you are free to
state it the way you see it.
Compared with the ULT claims in their newsletter
they have done nothing within the nearly last
hundred years to support the work of HPB and the
Masters, except reprint books.
They have never supportes the Leaders of the
Theosophical Movement (the German term for leader
is Führer).
They have never accepted that up to 1896 the TM
was only in a prepartory state, on the contrary
they claim that with 1896 all occult machines have
stooped and that no further development must be
made, therefore the ULT is a kind of museum of the
theosophical past, but they have no responsibility
for the present nor the future.
They do not accept leadership, therefore they are
not leaded and have no progress.
Their publications allow no criticism, discourse,
no constrast like in theos-talk, therefore blind
believe of yes-nodders is wished.
They did not found a Mystery school, nor did they
support the one Katherine Tingley founded.
They opposed The Mahatma Letters.
On the contrary they were satisfied with the
degenerated, psychic lodges of the TSA and would
have not closed them.
But that was not the policy of the Leaders of the
TM.
The howler is that Dallas labels the rejection of
their mayavic, childish, proud claims of their
wonder works as a break of universal brotherhood,
while I hold to the contrary, that my rejection is
exactly a militant defense of this universal
brotherhood in Lucifer style.
My question now is: What exactly has the ULT done
the last 100 years to fulfill the plans of the
Masters of Wisdom, except printing books?
I no of nothing. And printing books is no magic,
every mundane society can do that.
>But I do believe Mr. Harris' article helps to
>clear up some of the
mistaken views concerning Mrs. Tingley.
Yes, at least to me. How I would have liked it to
have been with her and to be instructed by her!
I guess she was really the saviour of the
Theosophical Movement.
Word and deed were one and the same for her.
She had spiritual aims and visions, not psychic
ones.
The ULT is free to be lucky to be without a leader
and without a spritual vision which goes beyond
the brain-mind reading of HPB and WQJ (which is
better than nothing).
But I attack their claims to be the fulfillers or
followers of HPB.
The ULT stands in the same relation to HPB as the
protestant church to Jesus.
They are negatively aganist an authority, right or
wrong, but have no positive world-view to offer.
And book-reading, book-printing and boosk-seeling
including recitations on meetings are not enough
for spiritaul progress as the ULT proofs for
itsself, or did they brought forth anything which
lasts.
Or to ask the other way round: How would the TM
look today without ULT?
What would you miss?
I think it is time that the ULT is to prompt to
excuse for their misleading newsletter and admit
that they have twisted history and misunderstood
HPB and WQJ.
