Theos-Talk Archives (October 2010 Message tt00066)

Lol, the good thing on the web is, everybody is equal, everybody can say what 
s/he wants and what s/he types determines exacty their state of mind. As sson as 
lower vibrational intentions are observed, one simply moves to another site, 
deception follows the same ritual...as long as we stay open minded we can always 
find a portal on the web where we can share a thing or 2. if not, we are sure 
next week some one got an idea to start a website which exactly the ideas you 
were not able to share...just like printing was invented by different people in 
different countries almost at the same time. I am a printer, i know what I am 
talking about :-)

Digital based theosophy is already there with various sites such as this and
theosophy.net ning site. The control organizational leaders had on account
of the money and assets is slowly ebbing away in this direction. Is it any
wonder that the move is reflected in the number of members in organizations?

You will notice an elitist attitude in many 'organizational' theosophists -
especially when you move up the ladder in organizations with all the
impressive titles, name suffixes to signify achievements in intellectual
learning, costumes and also the built-in belief that if you are following
any of the prescribed practices you are going up the ladder (and also the
hope that you are getting closer to the Initiates) and many of them totally
incapable of communicating with other at their level.

Digital world is a truly leveling field that takes time to get used to, and
at times can be scary. It looks like that is why you do not see the well
known names in organizational matters in any of these lists. And digital
world is moving forward like a Juggernaut and either you get on it or get
crushed by it.

A true theosophist cannot but pity when we see the situation. Let us all
pray (to God or whatever) that their eyes are opened soon and get on the
Juggernaut for the good of Humanity. And it is free, it is transparent - no
membership paperwork, no annual dues, no obedience, nothing!
