Theos-Talk Archives (December 2009 Message tt00083)

The next GC meeting is only a couple of days away. News and rumors after the
meeting will tell us whether the groups are coming together or the cleavage
widening.

Everyone who has been following the events since the start of last yearâs
election see what is going on. Continued cleavage cannot help TS or
theosophy because the newbees and prospective members/theosophists, see the
disconnect between the main object and the motto of TS and the  actions of
the elected leaders of autonomous Sections.

Only silver lining I see is that many at the center of the various events
since early last year are octo or septuagenarians and they are not going to
be around too long and time is a great solver of problems.

PS: Have you heard lately any interesting rumors at Adyar?
