Theos-Talk Archives (August 2006 Message tt00347)

Marie, 

You write to Perry: 

"Too bad, isn't it?  But I still believe that the Adyar TS will, in time, 
correct themselves, as we all do, and adhere to higher principles and values. In the meantime, they do much to promulgate theosophy, and that is crucial in today's world, I believe. And I value Theos-Talk for what it does in helping to educate the world and  its help in promulgating theosophy and unity among the different societies."   (...  See complete text below. )

Here I see an open mind. Here I see a kind heart. 

Such  ideas as yours below could lead many Theos-talkers far beyond a seven-day truce.

Regards,   Carlos.
