Re: theos-talk HPB and AAB

I am certain that the Powers Be behind the evolution were responsible for
the Internet technology which suddenly under the radar became a tool of
communication for the masses that no one is able to interfere with. Years
ago, when I got a taste of Internet, I could see the potential of just the
maillist and was very hopeful that theosophical organizations would jump at
it and use it to popularize the doctrines of theosophy to the world. Lo and
behold, that were not to be the case. Lip service is given to the use of the
tool. In Internet forums, not only we not see any of the leaders of
organizations, but all the underlings and organizational followers who
blindly or due to varied self interests follow the unspoken the lead of the
leaders and have been avoiding Internet.

The only hope is for the disappearance of the old guard - everyone has to
die some day - and younger generation who are growing up in Internet
technology take to Internet very naturally.

Internet has brought transparency to many walks of life and it looks like we
will see more transparency in the future. Either one has to go with the flow
or keep on trying to go against it, and in due course we know the flow wins.

Thanks for the active support from you and others.
