Theos-Talk Archives (April 2008 Message tt00104)

Maybe the relation between Theosophy and the Theosophical Society can 
be seen as the relation between Life and Form. And the Form - the 
Theosophical Society is clearly defined by its Rules and Regulations 
and Proceedings which have to be respected to assure that voice of 
each individual member is heard, that the freedom of the Society and 
freedom of thought is present and that the Theosophy can possibly 
pour itself through it. The Form isn't perfect but it is the best and 
the only one we have now at this given moment. It can really function 
only when the rules of the game are respected. It is like in chess 
where moves of pieces are strictly determined. If you want to move 
the pieces arbitrarily you can possibly force the co-player to accept 
your way of playing the game but you are not playing chess anymore.

Best regards,
Anton
