Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt00360)

Marie,


Thanks. 

Not wanting to intrude too much in the personal lives of peoples, I have been to the USA and known some TSA people in other places as well;  and I guess such influential people as  Joy Mills and John Algeo, among many others, are "members of it all".

I would like to be too much specific, more than I have being.

Of course, Algeo is not "an ES man", though.

I am trying to keep to the general historical trends and avoiding personal details. 

As to intermediate leaders, lodge presidents, etc., I cannot tell.

"Everything" is active in Krotona, of course. And in Wheaton.  So things are "shared", inclusive physical things, among the various "instances of the Adyar movement".


Regards,   Carlos.

Membership in each or all of these organizations does seem to be helpful for the advancement of personal ambitions within the Society.

I am going to suggest, however, that most TSA members high in the administration are probably ES members, but few of those are also co-masons and/or L.C.C. members. And at least with the Wheaton TSA, the L.C.C. members there rent the use of churches for their services, and do not use the TSA buildings. The TSA does rent out space to the co-masonic meetings, however.
