Is there a good reason not to think that Patanjali wrote hogwash?  How  do 
we know that he had any actual of idea of what he was saying and not just  
making things up?

Morten, 
It's their own fault for not taking Patanjali's Yoga Sutra into  
consideration or maybe they just thought it was all hogwash? lol Actually they  will 
drink, but it is the conditioned mind that is doing the drinking. Lol  What 
did they expect? Alice Leighton Cleaver had quite a bit ti say about the  
esoteric chosen ones. So did Blavatsky about the 12 peopole she chose and that  
the Mahatma's after a carefull over looking approved, needless to say the  
conditioned mind was also in charge the same as the others , with the same  
results.

A Short History of The Theosophical  Society - 1875 - 1937 
by Josephine Ransom 
with preface by 
G. S.  Arundale P.T.S. 
1938 
Theosophical Publishing House - Adyar, Madras,  India 

I read this when I first became interested in Madame Blavatsky  and the 
Theosophical Society. What was most inspiring to me was the "service  to 
others" performed in India of the Society by means of the schools,  nurserys, 
hospitals, clinics, training, drives for clothes, shoes, food , and  many other 
necessity's for the poor of india and orphanaged children. I don't  think an 
esoteric section made beans in regards to those selfless actions.  
Josephine Ransoms Book was enthralling to me and she didn't promise utopias.  But 
she laid out in splendid array how the Society changed lives in the most  
direct meaningful approaches. Something that others in the world were doing  for 
centuries before the Theosophical Society was formed in New York in 1875.  

The buck stops with the "conditioned mind of all mankind" our solitary  
universal common villain and impediment in our travail during our samsaric  
journey. 

Bill Gates just donated Billions to advance vaccine research  that can save 
millions of lives and lifetimes of suffering and he probably  never read a 
single page of the S.D.. His story is retold a hundred times over  across 
the world by the compassion and philanthropy of many very wealthy  individuals 
and/or corporations. The Shriners built a Pediatric Hospital  within a 
couple miles of me to treat children, the very best facilities in the  world, 
costing many tens of millions of charitable dollars are there and they  
changed the lives of tens of thousands of children even in spite of the fact  that 
the Shriners are part of an organization you vilify while totally  ignoring 
the selfless good works they perform. 

Also the Cathoilic  Church performs acts of charity and help and outreach 
all over the world to  the needy in scores of ways inspite of your 
willingness to vilify them.  

If one were to measure the real worlds accounting of good selfless  charity 
to others by non-Theosophical organizations the conclusion must be  that 
the world wide Theosophical Society in it's miniscule population of much  less 
than 100,000 registered members sincere credible selfless goodworks  
accounts to lees than a pimple on a mosquitos derriere. I_ think it's safe to  say 
if one actully confronts the real world in it's non-fantasized reality.  

Not intended to offend anyone accept my apoligy in advance.

Morten, 
Look what  happened - those that joined the esoteric group soon began to 
have their own  ideas - and hence the breakaway. Theosophy in its infancy 
needed to be spread  to the wider community, one could only do that by 
introducing an esoteric  section that delved into the deep and hidden teachings. As I 
said it seemed as  though some of those students began to think that they 
knew more than their  teachers and the inevitable outcome of that was that 
theosophy became diluted  or altered which would have defeated the purpose of 
the esoteric section. As  they say, a little knowledge in the wrong hands! . 

Perhaps they learnt  that the theosophical message challenged their own 
personal beliefs, and  rather than change those beliefs, twisted them to fit in 
or be accomodated by  their own personal belief system. You can take a 
horse to water, bu_t you can't  make it drink, as they say.

becoming guilty of the blackest treachery and  disloyalty to her HIGHER SELF. And 
when I could no longer keep in the E.S.  either herself or her friend, the 
two convulsed the whole Society with their  calumnies and falsehoods. Then it

unable to know her friends from her foes?â ran once  more the round of 
theosophical circles, both here and in America.
