Hi all,

        Recently Ann Bermingham posted a response (in part):

I have often seen bits of theosophical ideas in the work of the
famous science-fiction writer Robert A.  Heinlein (who passed
away several years ago).  I haven't seen it in all of his works
that I've read but it seems to stick out rather prominently in
his classic _Stranger_in_a_Strange_Land_.  I wrote to his widow,
Virginia Heinlein, who wrote back and said he was aware of the
Theososphical Society but did not confirm whether he was a member
or not.

Just $0.02 worth.  And, as Valentine Michael Smith (the main
character in SiaSL) would say, may you always grok in fullness (a
very theosophical concept, IMHO) ...
