Theos-Talk Archives (February 2010 Message tt00088)

The problem is that they live in a dream world where it somehow matters who 
 is in charge of mowing the lawn at Adyar.

I hope the leaders who have been living in a cocoon with no transparency  
and
great secrecy in their doings and possible machinations, are reading  the
messages here and realize the continuing serious harm they are causing  to
the Cause while they may be under the delusion that they are doing good  to
the cause.

[How else we can explain (1) the ultra secret attempt  to disenfranchise all
members by a handful of GC members from the West and  seize control of the 
TS
and (2) continued silence over a year with no  indication of any attempt to
bring about unity within the TS, while at the  same time lecturing about
truth, honesty, and other attributes theosophy  tries to inculcate in their
members.]

May be it is time for Plan B  for theosophy to move ahead ignoring the
existing old guard leadership  which seems to be stuck on a path of error.
