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.
