Theos-Talk Archives (December 1995 Message tl00271)

Thanks to JHE for his clear explanation of ULT/Theosophy Co.
interdependence. In my previous post I didn't say outright
that ULT *was* a cryptocracy but rather that since its
governance was secret my brother called it a cryptocracy
apparently a term found in SF lit which he likes. Anyway
let me be clear-- ULT is *governed* by a cryptocracy the
board of the Theosophy Company in many important respects
even if the ULT itself is free of officers or by-laws. Better?

On a related matter-- Coherence you're the only anonymous
poster on the list. Sort of like a nude beach with one clothed
person. You may have good reasons for this but when you make
condescending remarks about other people on the list and their
ideas it doesn't seem quite fair to do it from a pseudonym.
Or rather perhaps the pseudonym strengthens the impression
that you are looking down on us/me/some of us/whatever. Could
you consider revealing your identity? It might change the
energy flow.

As for moving the by-laws discussion I oppose it for the
simple reason that the exchanges have been most educational
even enlightening without degenerating into serious conflict.
It ain't broke so why fix it? Probably 90% of us belong to
the Adyar TS although many of those also belong to Pasadena or
ULT. By virtue of its size what goes on in the Adyar TS is
relevant to all Theosophists. For those who don't want to read
it the headers should be clear indications of when to press
the delete key.

Namaste
