Well, they haven't called me  yet!

But what I do not understand is why anyone would even want to run  the TS 
when to run for high office in the US these days only requires the  ability 
to 
herd moose.

How to take over The Theosophical Society in twelve swift  steps

1. When invited by the President to be Vice-President, accept.  When
she nominates you again twice, accept. Be sure to keep a  distance,
physical and psychological, from the International Headquarters,  for
example, by calling it "a symbolic headquarters" in one of  your
Convention lectures.

2. When the President experience a  recoverable health problem, contact
the head of a leading antipodal Section  and invite her to be your VP.
When she says that such matter should be  referred to the President
agree with her position, albeit reluctantly. When  the President says
she can still conduct her duties and is going on a  European tour,
express outrage and abandon her to her luck.

3. In  the following months, contact key workers at Adyar about The
Plan. Be sure  not to contact Indian members because of their silly and
traditional  devotion and loyalty to the elected President of the
Theosophical Society.  Ideally, contact workers from a Latin American
background because of their  emotional volatility and their
impressionability to "The Big Chief"  archetype.

4. The foundation of The Plan is to convince as many members  as
possible that the President is unwell, has erratic  behaviour,
inconsistent memory, cannot articulate coherent words anymore  and has
a damaged brain. 

5. Get the selected key workers at Adyar  to write letters to General
Council members, even before they receive the  official papers from the
Secretary, saying that you don't really want to be  President but under
the circumstancesâ Be sure that at least one of the key  workers is
from the Secretary's Office where all the membership records are  kept.

6. When one of their letters, declaring that you have agreed to  accept
nomination, is tabled at the Council meeting remain  silent.

7. When the voting results are declared, blame the Indian  Section.

8. Start a series of messages attacking the structure of the  Society,
the Executive Committee, the President and the Indian  Section.

9. Invite General Council members to join your self-created  caucus
(The Plan B) and ask their permission to circularize their  messages.

10. When very few messages arrive form the Ahamkara Quartet  and send
out a proposal to substantially curtail the President's  constitutional
prerogatives and to eliminate the direct vote by members  world wide in
the election of the President.

11. Hold fast thy  senses, thy mind, thy heart and thy consciousness
against the great heresy  of Brotherhood and Oneness. Dwell on I-ness.

12. If anything goes  wrong, call Chuck.
