Theos-Talk Archives (February 2011 Message tt00005)

Dear Max and friends

My views are:

Yes, it is more easy to read than to contemplate. (smile.)
I cannot promose I will write it this month. But I will look into it.

What Blavatsky tried to do was a failure to some and a success to others.
Some of us operate with evaluation of the impact of various authors and persons through the ages.
The truth is: Some authors and persons generate more impact on their generation and later centuries than others do. And in this sense Blavatsky's activities deserves a certain repsect - and for those who are concerned about altrusism - it certainly also deserves support, at least to a certain extend. Those who like to disparage Blavatsky's teachings often lack presenting any clear evidence to support their negative positions. The fact that human evolution and progress towards altruism is slow has to be recognized. But these are just my views.

  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.
