Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt00292)

Daniel,

It is but fun, for me, to be here at Theos-talk.  
It has been a relaxing experience, thanks. 

As to sowing dissent, this is quite different from dicussing real issues.

For instance: there is a great  amount of Maya, illusion,  in the movement, which comes from the CWL/AB period in Adyar, and the Adyar TS even today has some 90 per cent of the movement (in outer quantity).  That wall of illusions is slowly coming down as time passes.  

On the other hand, there is a variety of minor issues & gossips which do not help us build a better movement or  live the philosophy of Theosophy. 

There has been even a number of pure slanders against HPB circulating recently,  in an attempt to discredit her, in order not to let CWL and his ideas be seen as they are. 

There are only two main visions of the movement:  CWL's and HPB's; the ritualistic vision and the philosophic vision. 

This is the major issue at stake as to the vitality of the movement in the 21st century.  




Carlos.
