Have you ever examined the miraculously complex and weird natal
chart of the TS?  The one for Olcott's inaugural address has
every planet a) in a fixed sign b) in a T-square or cosmic
cross.  Irresistible forces meeting immovable objects in every
possible direction.  The energy both forces us to stay together
and to see Theosophy from diametrically opposed positions.  It
also works as a vortex drawing people in and spewing them out.
That doesn't mean the TS is a failure, just because folks come
and go; they often leave transformed.  The list of ex-FTS in
history is, alas, more illustrious than those that stayed.  I'd
like to know what the ray system would say about that chart!
