I can't begin to tell you how much I hate that "only for the few stuff". If
Blavatsky really believed that, then she was dead wrong! If humanity is to
survie into the new century they really need this stuff. Pretending it
cannot be explained to many people, is, I think, a total ego trip. The young
need the information theosophy represents in order to make decisions about
life and their place in it. There is absolutely nothing that has harmed the
theosophical movement more than the concept that"they'll come when they're
ready" or that "quality is preferable to quantity". Well my firend, I joined
the TS originally well over 20 years ago, and in all that time I haven't
been exposed to all that much "quality". In fact the highest quality I've
encountered is here on Theos-L.
