"Le Droit" Versus Adyar
Nov 08, 2006 05:00 AM
by carlosaveline
Carl,
The words you quote -- "modern disciples of the Masters have nothing to do with modern Masonry" -- were written by HPB, and not by me. You may think HPB was wrong, etc.
As I understand these words, though, HPB means that disciples will not mix own their activities with any masonic or ritualistic actions/organizations. And will not act in masonic organizations.
They will study masonic ideals, philosophy and tradition in abstract, like HPB did. She wrote a lot about Masonry, yet she did not want any confusion between the masonic movement and the theosophical movement.
If you had the actual experience I and hundreds of people have with the Adyar theosophical movement (not talking about Brazil only) you would not say that there was never confusion and wrong intermixing between "Le Droit Humain" and the Adyar TS. If you think different, that is your right. But if you insist, I will possibly conclude that your personal experience is limited -- or else your view one-sided. And that is for a reason.
The event of actual separation between "Adyar TS & Masonry" from "Le Droit Humain" was most painful for both parties; traumatic for many people; involved acute power struggle, and was international.
I respect your hurt feelings, but facts are facts. There was an unhealthy mixture before separation and "divorce" -- hence the pain and trauma involved.
Carlos.
