Theos-Talk Archives (December 2008 Message tt00374)

They are political in this case : round 2000 they give all the books 
free to download on internet and later in this millenium totally not 
one.
While Theosophical literature was not able on internet during a lot 
of years and now TS;  especially America gives a lot for free.
So who is better?
There can be made enough money on lectures, seminars and courses.And 
not to forget people stay buying the books.Especially in 
courses.Nobody goes with his laptop into course.
And I think it is very important to keep as much as books of 
references online too.
I have for example Collected writitng on CD, but easier if I need 
some references to look at the internet version.Also it is good to 
have the CD near it, for what now is on-line can be away next year.

Than I think Alice A Bailey has different way in teaching ,  more to 
the point.Not whole stories round a subject,where people need to fly 
over.
But that is my opinion and experiences.
