Friends,
"Denial is more than a river in Egypt", as Mark Twain wrote.
After his important Manifesto issued ten years ago in 1996, Geoffrey Farthing wrote a Supplement the following year, in which he had to admit:
"KEEPING UP THE PRESSURE
There have been various attempts in the past to reform the Society along Blavatsky/Master lines but so powerful has been the prevailing 'cloud of glamour' overshadowing the whole Adyar Society (with perhaps a few disregarded pin-holes of light) that members not only have not seen the case that was being made but deliberately did not want to. Such attempts have been regarded as a particular personal quirk of whoever has at the time been trying to penetrate the fog. The matter, however, is not a personal one, it has to do with a world event of the utmost importance to humanity as a whole. This has just not being appreciated. People have preferred their entrenched beliefs."
No "fog", glamour or denial can be eternal, though. To every night, a new morning succeeds.
