Theos-Talk Archives (April 1996 Message tl00320)

Eldon,
All of your points are excellent and well taken.  They are a great example of
the kind of thinking I was trying to produce.
I know Betty and I actually like her (though I can live without the sufi
dancing) and she knows more about technical Theosophy than I will ever learn,
but she is not really leadership material and unfortunately the TS has a
tendency to need leaders to give it some direction.  John Algeo came in with
some very interesting ideas and if they had been executed better might well
have stopped some of the drift.  I doubt that she will have that many but I
can be wrong and I hope I am.  I have just not seen it up to now.

I fear for the future of Theosophy.  We cannot stay wedded to the ideas of
the past and yet to revise them puts us in danger of losing everything.  It
is a danger I am willing to risk, but I can see why others would not.  But
one thing is certain, we need more warm bodies and a society that is not
afraid of the thoughts they might bring.
