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

they will

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

Read, I recommend:
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
hors_e to water, bu_t you can't make it drink, as they say.

fact
that such a number of thoroughly earnest, good, and sincere men and women
should be made to suffer for the guilt of the few. For, though but a fault
of omission on my part, still that guilt, as I feel, is due to my neglect.
Behold! my Karma appeared as a warning almost from the beginning of the
E.S."

>"I had started well. Several of those whom I knew to be entirely unfitted
to take the pledge have been refused from the first; but I proved unable
to withstand their prayers when certain of them declared to me that it was
their âlast chance in life.â The âpledge feverâ made short work of their
promises. One broke her vows only four days after signing her pledge,
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
was that the old wondering query, âHow is it that âpoor H.P.B.,â
notwithstanding the Masters at her back, and her own insight, is so
evidently
unable to know her friends from her foes?â ran once more the round of
theosophical circles, both here and in America.
>Brothers, if you will judge from appearances, and from the worldly
standpoint, you are right; but if you take the trouble of looking into the
inner
causes producing outward results, you will find that you are decidedly in
the wrong. That you should no longer do me injustice, let me explain what
I
mean."

a lesson from my weakness, and show your appreciation of this by not
judging me too unkindly if I now change somewhat my policy. For I have to
either

rate,
who will disagree with this arrangement. To avoid repeating the mistake,
this is what I propose doing. Each Paper will be sent as it was hitherto,
only it will appear as a Supplement to the Ethics and teachings which will
impart the rules of Discipline and the laws of Discipleship, as in the
case
of all Probationers. ] Those who accept the new arrangement will have to
study the latter, or they cannot receive any more teachings from me. For,

>>>>Do you my dear readers understand that, the Esoteric Section was
according to H. P. Blavatsky created in 1888 so that "the Theosophical
Society
at large can be brought back to its original lines"; the lines openly
deviated from in 1884?
>>>>
>>>>Did this imply turning it towards a more or less blurred or openly
declared political involvement à la A. O. Hume - National Congress of
India? I
would clearly say no, and no a thousand times!
>>>>
>>>>Did this imply asserting a Messiah in the flesh as the World Teacher
of the Age (The Maitreya) as a dogma or propagandized doctrine to follow?
I
would clearly say no, and no a thousand times!
>>>>
>>>>Did this imply rejecting the view that "No Theosophist should be
silent when he hears evil reports or slanders spread about the Society, or
innocent persons, wheth_er they be h_is colleagues or outsiders. " (The
Key to
the Theosophist, 2ed., 1890, p. 250)? I would clearly say no, and no a
thousand times!
>>>>
>>>>Did it only imply this with reagard to physically present humans or
did it also imply it with regard deceased ones? I would clearly say both
issues count, because people not living in the physical are present in our
universe!
