Theos-Talk Archives (February 2010 Message tt00034)

I think, realistically, the future of Theosophy will be something similar  
to the fate of the Shakers.  It will simply die out as an organized entity,  
at least in the west, as we all get older and older and older...

We all have seen some very fine Masons and theosophists who are  altruistic
and best specimens of humanity. Such qualities have no  correlation with the
erudition, position held, how high they are in Masonry  or theosophical
organizations and any other attribute. We also have seen  those in the other
extreme, that may shock us.

We all wear a mask to  present a favorable image in the world. However, when
people are put in  highly stressful and unusual situations, usually created
by themselves,  major breaks take place in the mask and people usually see
the real person  and usually those undesirable characteristics hidden behind
the mask show  up. When it happens, there is damage to the individual which
is very  difficult to fix. Those who come thru the rents in the mask 
smelling
like a  rose, have nothing to worry.

Let us see what is in store for TS in the  near future. Are w_e seeing the
calm before the storm?
