Theos-Talk Archives (October 2010 Message tt00104)

And by the way, no adept is ever going to answer to these pitiful, small minded escapades. Theosophy had faced its ultimate test - and failed miserably. Fear of the unfamiliar has deeply embedded itself in the ranks of the old guards, hence the no-response to your most helpful offer.

Theosophy to me is interesting in the larger scheme of the history of ideas; but its chronic lack of structured maintenance in regards to its own documentary foundations is, well, appaling and that in itself says enough.

regards,

Theo

The old guard has lost itself in futile, ego-driven power struggles and has failed to train and establish a new, young and vigorous line of replacements to guide theosophy trhough the 21st century when they're gone - and as a consequence, theosophy is now as dead as a doornail.
