Carl,
Relevant to what you recently wrote are some observations by
Gregory Tillett. Dr. Tillett commented:
==========================================================
...My criticism of ULT relates to the manifestly bogus claim that it
is somehow an organization without authorities or leaders, and its
strange habit of not identifying the authors (other than HPB, WQJ, et
al) of its publications....There are obviously leaders and
authorities in the ULT � it's just that (unlike Adyar or Pasadena)
their identities are not disclosed. When I sought to do research at
the ULT library in London, "permission" had to be obtained. From
whom? If I want to access the ULT archives (which presumably exist
somewhere and under the control of someone), to whom do I apply? If I
write to the ULT someone will reply, although the letter may
be "signed" with "The United Lodge of Theosophists". Someone decides
who may and may not speak at ULT meetings. Someone legally owns ULT
assets and edits its journals. How and by whom are those actually in
charge appointed? As I previously wrote to Daniel, unknown and
unknowable sources of authority exercise greater power because they
are effectively unchallengeable.
