Followup to Besant's Last Lecture . Have you noticed that Besant, in her last lecture, talked about a very basic and simple fact. Actions speak louder than words. Our life is the best tool to spread theosophy. She did not bring in other hair splitting complicated and complex analysis. . Some recent statements for some of the "organizational theosophists" - elected leaders and active members who dare not publicly disagree with organizational leaders even on issues which are plainly not good for theosophy or TS, for fear of being marginalized (mind you the human nature, as one of the Adepts said, is same whether at Adyar or London) do not address the simple fact that Besant highlighted. . When you look at the events and activities of well known members and leaders since start of last year's election and the followup cleavage evidenced by the votes in the GC meeting, it makes ordinary members who have no personal vested interests to be very sad. There is no talk of transparency, regret for untruths spoken, public apology for serious errors of judgement. Just business as usual. Still the focus on tinkering with the rules (even the secret disenfranchisement proposal has not been officially withdrawn by the proponents) which is not going to address the basic issues facing the TS. . May be it is time for each one of us to setup a time to pray so that things may change. . My 0.02 . MKR . More on theosophy at theosophy.net [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
