We don't have to fool ourselves.  We really ARE smarter than they  were, if 
we go by what they wrote.

The idea of two Theosophical Societies - East and  West - has even been
broached.

A quick look at the  organizational set up of TS is very revealing. The
national sections are  totally autonomous as if each section is a Society by
itself. International  President gets involved only when there are disputes
or problems between  sections. To understand the structure, all one needs to
do is to read up  early history of the TS and the correspondence the 
Mahatmas
had with  Sinnett. Let us remind ourselves that a great amount of of wisdom
went into  developing the structure of TS and let us not befool ourselves
that we are  smarter than those who started and built the TS.

TS does not have a  Pope or Popess dictating and controlling what goes on in
the sections. So  the idea of two Societies is intriguing f_or some and is
laughable for  others. If the idea of two societies is logically extended,
then we may end  up with multiple societies based on other divisions in the
world that has  caused and is causing a lot of misery to our fellow beings.

Anyone  wants to add anything?
