Theos-Talk Archives (February 2011 Message tt00002)

Dear Sufilight,

Yes, please do it in writing. I don't plan to contemplate on my own 
on what Cyril Scott or someone else said, I just would like to see 
how the final product of your comparative study would look like. 

As far as reconciling "all religions, sects and nations under a 
common system of ethics" is concerned, I cannot ask you to do that in 
full or in part because it would be a thankless job. Blavatsky tried 
to synthesize science, religion and philosophy, but it hardly was a 
success.

(The Theosophist, 1879 Vol I, no. 1 - and also - The Key to Theosophy 2nd edition, 1890,  page 3) ----- and THEREFORE ALSO all present day Theosophical Branches included (!) - because altruism was from the very beginning the core of theosophy!!!
