Theos-Talk Archives (December 2010 Message tt00022)

Very good idea.

The genii is out of box and can never be put back.

Now that someone has scanned the book and had uploaded it to scribd.com,
many would have downloaded it. Hence the circulation has started and will go
on whether one likes it or not.

This is the natural progression to software, videos, audios, movies. The
poor man or woman who cannot afford to buy an expensive item is going to
bite the Karmic bullet and use it.

Now is an opportunity for theosophy company to make the electronic copy
available free to download. After all, all books are first prepared in
electronic form and then sent to the printer to print and bind it. Hence,
all one has to do is to upload it to a server on Internet.

It would be a good idea for each one of us to write to Theosophy Company
which is the custodian of the Commentaries. I suggest that the letter/email
be sent to Wes Amerman, President of Theosophy Company. According to the
publicly available information, the email addresses are wes_at_blavatsky.netand
thesoco_at_sbcglobal.net. The mailing address of Theosophy company is:

The Theosophy Company
245 West 33rd Street
Los Angeles CA 9007

Hopefully we can expect a positive response since those on the board of
directors are long time dedicated theosophists who understand the need to
get the theosophical information to theosophical students as efficiently as
possible. The Karmic reward in making the material available free on
Internet would indeed be very great.

MKR
