Theos-Talk Archives (February 2010 Message tt00048)

And so did a number of folks who were not sages at all.  But it was  not 
the way to bet.  And let us be honest, the great sages lied about their  age 
about as much as they lied about most of everything else.  Being  considered 
a sage was quite a racket back then.

In the olden days someone who was 86 years old  was usually dead.

MKR,

I am glad you are  finally recognizing that an 86-year-old President CANNOT 

lead the TS  forward. So then what is she doing in the President's chair? 

Might it  not be better that she left it to younger blood? In the olden 
days  

when people were purer and understood the laws of Nature, someone who  was 

86 years old would be in Sadhana Ashrama, rather than in Grhastha  Ashrama. 

Our President for all her knowledge of many things seems to  have ignored 

this fact...and so the TS suffers from corruption of all  kinds under a 

President who cannot let go.

But, yes, thank you  for recognizing that we DO NEED A YOUNGER PRESIDENT TO 

RUN THE  TS.

Fraternally

I wouldn't worry too  much for the TS, its message has had its purpose and 

went across the  globe. We live in a world now, where any sacred work can 
be 

bought,  any state of being can be bought and any nirvana can be bought as  

well...however knowing all sacred works, having experienced all kinds  of 

mindalterings and buying your way into nirvana will only be  temporary 
untill 

one forgets and the next life will bring real  trouble...

Being poor and appreciating what Nature gives you, learning  how It wants 

to deal with you, and blessing you with good sleep will  ultimately carry 
you 

beyond Nirvana...no TS  needed.

Subject:  Theos-World World Congress in Rome

The World Congress in Rome is  scheduled in July. I am sure that many of the

General Secretaries and  others from Europe would be attending. Of course,

due to the cost of  travel and accommodation, the attendance from rest of 

the

world  is not expected to be much. Rich members and others whose  travel

expenses are met from TS Section treasury can be expected to  attend.

Has anyone seen the program schedule? I hope they would address  the most

urgent issue - membership. Aging leadership and difficulty in  attracting

younger members, if continued, we are looking for a downward  trend in

membership and some sections would survive till their treasury  runs out. It

is a very sad state of affairs.

All the events  starting with the election of the President and the cleavage

in the GC  membership is slowly marring the good image the theosophy and TS

had in  the world simply due to the dedication and unselfishness of  past

leaders. When they also see the attempted secret  disenfranchisement move to

seize the presidency by a handful of GC  members,_ it presents a very poor

picture to prospects. All the  participants involved in the past issues have

been_ silent and we have  not seen any serious steps to bring about

cooperation which is urgently  needed. We have no idea as to what is cooking

behind the  scenes.

I hope the World Congress addresses urgent serious issues and  not a just a

vacation like gathering for those who can  attend.

MKR
