My views are:
Yes. And then we do not need to create any emails.
And then we avoid being confronted with the below words from H. P. Blavatsky.
Yet if you stop e-mailing and do like the quote suggests in the below, you will clearly have difficulties in helping those who need to understand what H. P. Blavatsky mentions in The Key to Theosophy, p. 61-65 - and it would quite important be DIFFICULT if not impossible to carry out one of the MAIN objects of the theosophical teachings as they were given by H. P. Blavatsky and Seers through time.
Namely this one!:
"First of all to inculcate certain great moral truths upon its disciples, and all those who were "lovers of the truth." Hence the motto adopted by the Theosophical Society: "There is no religion higher than truth." â The chief aim of the Founder of the Eclectic Theosophical School was one of the three objects of its modern successor, the Theosophical Society, namely, to reconcile all religions, sects and nations under a common system of ethics, based on eternal verities." ( The Key to Theosophy, p. 2-3 - http://www.phx-ult-lodge.org/aKEY.htm )
Any comments?

Subject: Theos-World Discussing God
"Discussing God is not the best use of our energy. If we touch the Holy Spirit, we touch God not as a concept but as a living reality. In Buddhism, we never talk about nirvana, because nirvana means the extinction of all notions, concepts, and speech. We practice by touching mindfulness in ourselves through sitting meditation, walking meditation, mindful eating, and so on. (...) Living mindfully, shining the light of our awareness on everything we do, we touch the Buddha, and our mindfulness grows."
