I echo the above sentiments. I would like to read people discussing theosophy
and how it is for them without personalities taking umbrage. Detachment is
one of the virtues of wisdom and I like to hear what everyone has to say in
an amiable exchange of views.

Good on you. Remind me to tell you about a new mystery school starting in NZ
when I return from my exec meeting in Auckland. I am on my way shortly and
get back on Momday. I haven't made up my mind what I think about it. I know
the lady spearheading it and she is a real dynamo but it may be too
intellectual.
Spot you soon.

Bee Brown.
