Theos-Talk Archives (January 2011 Message tt00135)

Morten,
This reads to me that No fellow, etc should promulgate or maintain any doctrine - being that advanced or advocated by the Society. As this was released in January 1981 and 
she died in May of the same year, I would think that she was making it clear that her
particular works (teachings) were not to be advanced by any member or Council.
Â
Cass
Â
ps Clearly Besant and Leadbeater totally
ignored this constitutional law.
Â
Constitution of January 1891: "No Fellow, Officer, or Council of the Theosophical Society, or of any Section or Branch thereof, shall promulgate or maintain any doctrinas being that advanced, or advocated by the Society. " 
Â
[6] So one might say, that each member of the Theosophical Society forwarded their very own views, and they did not forward them on behalf of the Theosophical Society, a Society against dogmas and secterian behaviour. More info on this in the last reference.[7]

Morten,
Perhaps without realising it, you yourself have broken the
first law by "shall promulgate or maintain any doctrinas being that advanced, or advocated by the Society. "
Quite frankly I do not believe you have the knowledge nor the authority to do so.
Cass

Dear friends

I just added the following on Wikipedias page for the Theosophical Society 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theosophical_Society:

A non-dogmatic and non-secterian Society
According to the Constitution of the Theosophical Society in the period 1875-1891 we find the following in the Constitution of January 1891: "No Fellow, Officer, or Council of the Theosophical Society, or of any Section or Branch thereof, shall promulgate or maintain any doctrinas being that advanced, or advocated by the Society. " [6] So one might say, that each member of the Theosophical Society forwarded their very own views, and they did not forward them on behalf of the Theosophical Society, a Society against dogmas and secterian behaviour. More info on this in the last reference.[7]

The below words about various beliefs among the Theosophists are only correct so far as they have been given by some of the members of the Theosophical Society is concerned. Those who did not follow such philosophical views as the below were free as members of the original Theosophical Society in 1875-1891. This was however changed somewhere after the year 1891 among many of the later offshoot branches and break-away groups, - and according to some also within the Theosophical Society itself, when affiliated branch the Order of the Star in the East was formulated around the year 1910 or 1911 and later. The Theosophical Society's website January 2011 says the following: "The Society imposes no belief on its members, who are united by a common search for Truth and desire to learn the mean-ing and purpose of existence through study, reflection, self-responsibility and loving service." [8]

Maybe it needs som polishing?
What do you readers think?

I have also created similar changes on the following wiki-pages:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan_race
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theosophy

But they seem to need approval first.

What about other wiki-pages in other countries?'
