Theos-Talk Archives (August 2009 Message tt00045)

Hi Frank,

With all that drive and determination, it is a wonder that you haven't attracted help.  Could it be that brusque German charm?  Seriously, practical theosophy is the only way out of the mess that the Movement is in.  You point out how so much more could be done with a little help.  Inevitably, depending on the nature of the work, that work falls to a very few in any theosophical centre.  Some people are fit for the type of work to be done, others are not.  Perhaps we need more groups each doing something different so as to engage the imagination and energies of a greater number.

Griping at our leaders may not be the best use of our energies.  As you point out, we get the leaders we deserve.  But, as Blavatsky, Olcott and Judge demonstrated, it only takes 3 to create a Movement.  If you don't like the leadership you have, then start a new lodge, make sure it is independent, and then you can practice theosophy as you like.  What the griping has done is to show that there are theosophists who are unhappy with the leadership at various levels.  What we need is a practical and theosophical way forward, not more griping.  However, as most members are probably supportive of the leadership, some hard decisions will have to be made for those who have lost confidence.

Perhaps a petition is needed from the membership demanding a theosophical conference take place charting a new future for theosophy where co-operation between the leadership of the various Societies is made mandatory.  This is already happening voluntarily, to some extent, at local levels.  This will force the various leaders to face the lies of the past in order to move forward.  This might even appeal to the "can't we all just get along" type of theosophist who is not into making waves. Or there might be other avenues that disaffected members could explore.  Certainly, your example of hard and solitary work is one such avenue, although the lonely battle may not be to everyone's taste or abilities.

Whatever theosophists do chose to do, you are right that griping about leaders is not "practical theosophy".  We need to get beyond that.

Thanks Frank,

Robert Bruce
