You can contact the Theosophical Society in America at theos@netcom.
Probably you can also call them toll free at 1-800-669-1571 and speak to
some one in the membership who may provide some information.

BTW, you may not be able to get much information other than some of the
basic requirements such as at least two years of membership of the
Theosophical Society, vegetarian life style, non use of alchohol or other
mind altering drugs etc.

Recently I posted a msg quoting a letter that was sent to A P Sinnett
which is generally considered as the Charter for the Theosophical
Society. In the letter, it is made very clear that the prime purpose of
the Theosophical Society is to further the idea of Universal Brotherhood
of Humanity and *not* the establishment of a philosophical
(psychological) school for the benefit of a few. I believe you may be
familiar with the above.

In the above context, I am just curious about (1) how you came upon
theos-l, (2) how you came across Theosophy/Theosophical Society and (3)
what you would wish to achieve in the Esoteric School.

If you prefer, you do not have to answer any of the above. But it would
be very informative to all of us.

Peace
