Theos-Talk Archives (January 2009 Message tt00000)

Dear friends

My views are:

A new year is beginning in peoples minds.

It is now more than 133 years since the founding of the moderne visdom teachings - The Theosophical Society year 1875.

Status at Conventions occurs.
It could be well for members at TS Adyar to consider the following questions and words and their value.


H.P. Blavatsky said:
"...Contrast alone can enable us to appreciate things at their right value; and unless a judge compares notes and hears 
both sides he can hardly come to a correct decision."     H.P. Blavatsky. The Theosophist, July, 1881, p. 218.




*** THE QUESTIONS to CONSIDER ***

I would appreciate if anyone would care to answer the following questions, so that we may be able to know about TS Adyar more fully...

1.
Who decides what kind of books and what books at all are being sold at Quest Books?
Who decides, what Bookshop and what books by what authors - TS Adyar promotes?
What is the present day policy and why?


2.
Who decides what kind of lectures are emphasised within TS branches?
What is the present day policy and why?

3.
Who decides what books one are allowed to lecture on?
Are lectures on comparative study of various authors allowed freely?
What is the present day policy and why?


4.
Are lectures on commparative studies beteween H. P. Blavatsky vs. C. W. Leadbeater allowed?

5.
Are lectures on commparative studies beteween H. P. Blavatsky vs. Annie Besant allowed?

6.
Are lectures on commparative studies beteween H. P. Blavatsky vs. Alice A. Bialey / Lucis Trust allowed?

7.
Are lectures on commparative studies beteween H. P. Blavatsky vs. Radha Burnier allowed?

8.
Are lectures on commparative studies beteween H. P. Blavatsky vs. J. Krishnamurti allowed?

9.
Have any TS Adyar Teacher ever done an effort in the direction of comparative study - large or small - between H. P. Blavatsky and all of the aboves techings? If not, why not?


10.
In the old H. P. Blavatsky days - no false claims were permitted to go unchallanged for a longer time by H. P. Blavatsky herself. A clear stance on various new religious groups was - ALWAYS - given in the Theosophist and Lucifer etc. when the situation demanded it. - Is this what is happening today?

Are false claims being allowed to flourish within TS today?


- - -

If time permit me, I will in a study, and if no others will, seek to compare 
H. P. Blavatsky with all the above - C. W. Leadbeater. Annie Besant, J. Krishnamurti, Radha Burnier, Alice A. Bailey. And I will eventually publish my study before this my phycial body reach its death.
