Theos-Talk Archives (September 2008 Message tt00123)

If Theosophy is anything, it is ambiguous.  The cosmos is built upon  
uncertainty.

Theosophy is a philosophy not a religion and as a philosophy it must be  
coherent and without ambiguity.  Leadbeater brought ambiguity into  theosophy by 
preaching opposing dogma to what was stated by the  originators.  Dugpas are 
Masters of Uncertainty!

Aren't we all  believing in lies and half Truths?
Theosophy is wisdom of the gods it is  said; if we want to believe in the 
Truth we need to go for Ethymo-sophia or  the wisdom of the Real or reality and 
not some poxy stuff about gods,  philosophers and scientists. Reality is now 
and not in the past nor the  future; we can use the now springboarding into 
eternity.
If there was so  much truth in theosophy, why are people still discussing it 
instead of  launching new ideas coming from the same source and developing 
f.i.  anthroposophy and alike science...

Daniel 
Anand  will never admit that Leadbeater got it wrong because he would then 
have to  admit that he (Anand) has spent 40 years in believing in  lies.

Subject of  Theosophy, as understood by world and students of
Theosophy, is complex.  When I read messages of students of Blavatsky
and messages of students of  CWL, I find that what they understand
Theosophy and it's main concepts is  very different. That means
Theosophical understanding of students of  Blavatsky is different from
understanding of students of Leadbeater.  Differences are big and on
important topics. It is possible that HPB and  CWL had same meaning in
mind but expressed that in different words. But  their impact is
certainly different on people. If somebody is referring  Theosophy, I
might ask "are you talking about Theosophy of Blavatsky or are  you
talking about Theosophy of Besant-Leadbeater ?"
Similarly reactions  of westerners and Christians to Theosophy depend
on what they consider as  Theosophy. When they consider Blavatsky's
writing as Theosophy, they  ridicule, hate Theosophy. Such hatred is
not expressed by those Christians  who consider CWL's writing as Theosophy.
I have come to a point where it is  necessary to make clear distinction
between Theosophy of Leadbeater-Besant  and Theosophy of Blavatsky. As
these two are different and have different  effects on people, I feel
that such distinction is very necessary. It is  because we often come
in contact with students of Blavatsky not agreeing  with students of
Leadbeater and CWL-students ignoring Blavatsky's writing.  
I am also feeling a need of writing article making it clear  which
Theosophy I support and which Theosophy I reject. I agreed with  CWL,
but I did not agree with Krishnamurti. I felt Krishnamurti' s  teaching
would do damage to humanity. So I rejected openly K's teaching,  just
as Catholic church openly rejects abortion and gay marriage.
I feel  that I should now write article on which Theosophical ideas I
support and  which Theosophical ideas I reject.
