Theos-Talk Archives (January 2012 Message tt00061)

Dear Daniel and friends

My views are:

I se not that many problems with most of what Govert are saying.
The books by the Ballards could easily be at the library at TS Adyar.
(Of course if there were a demand for them. Or donations of books were given.)

Well, when I reached the following I hesitated immediately...

Govert wrote:
The Theosophical
Society was founded, not only to re-introduce to the west the idea of an Ancient
Wisdom, but also to prepare the world for the coming of a great teacher.

M. Sufilight says:
That was a new one to me. Govert?
Where are the documentation on this claim that the Theosophical Society was founded in 1875 for this reason?
I tend to disagree.
The Society was as I understand it founded so to promote altruism - since this was and still is the main object of the Theosophical Society.
All other ideas - cannot - be important or central in any manner. Since this Society was non-sectarian from its very beginning.
Else we can go and say that the Theosophical Society was founded so that you and I could become Avatars or clairvoyant etc. And anything else of a sectarian choosing.
