Theos-Talk Archives (December 2010 Message tt00158)

Thanks for the post. A lot of spiritual activity has been going on and we,
open minded theosophists, should open up our horizon and I am sure we all
can learn a lot. The powers be, behind the welfare of the Humanity used
multiple channels for this purpose and 'fundamentalist' theosophists should
keep this in perspective and not operate with a closed narrow mind.

So long as we all agree with the fundamental objectives of all the movements
- welfare of the Humanity - there should be no problem = of course
'organizational' theosophists may strongly differ and even resort to attack
using pseudonyms. But time will take care of everything.
