Theos-Talk Archives (June 2009 Message tt00332)

Mr Rozman, thanks for this explanation. 

This makes it more understandable, although it also gives a taste of what Brotherhood is not about. 

Was also thinking that perhaps your overview of events, published not so long ago, could have contributed to the fact that you were not invited. For those who fully and unconditionally supported Mr. Oliveira's actions for example,  your conclusions at the end must have been painful and disappointing. Still you came with a great summery, all should take time to go over the facts and read your detailed overview, it'll clear the air. 

Roberta

When I was member of the TS in Slovenia I tried to call attention of the Society's bodies on the existing problems and inconsistencies and to propose solutions. My strivings were ignored and presented as my personal agenda. Later on I addressed these issues on formal level in a series of articles on the history of the TS in former Yugoslavia and Slovenia which can be found on my web site.

Their local particularities in Slovenia can be summarized as resulting from smallness of groups, from heritage of totalitarian political system and from poor application of constitutional proceedings and declarations on freedom of thought and freedom of the Society. Lodges are close groups with practically no public work and presence.

This surrealistic situation can be possibly understood only in the light of events related to the decay of the TS in former Yugoslavia. Although I didn't participate in them I was later on collaborator of the late GS of the TS in Slovenia, Anton Jesse, who's role in the history of the theosophical movement in our area tend to be purposely put into oblivion although it was he who actually did most to keep theosophical flame alive through WW II and through the totalitarian period.
