He's probably right but to see something designated neo a hundred years  
after the fact is, well, amusing.

"The two [Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater] were largely  responsible for 
the introduction of new teachings that were often in TOTAL  OPPOSITION to the 
Theosophy of Blavatsky and her Masters. These teachings were  designated by 
their opponents as Neo-Theosophy . . . or less often  Pseudo-Theosophy. The 
differences between Theosophy and Neo-Theosophy are TOO  NUMEROUS to 
mention in the context of this paper. . . . An extensive overview  [of the 
differences] is given in the unpublished booklet, Theosophy or  Neo-Theosophy by 
Margaret Thomas. . . . The booklet was written around 1925."  Quoted from:
