Martin,

I belong to the school of thought in theosophy that believes that first 
things should come first. First contact with one's Higher Self, and 
then--as a natural outcome of the contact--a lot of wonderful things like 
intuition, siddhis, and so forth.

So for me and for some others in the theosophical movement the main 
criterion to judge wheter or not a TS yoga exists, is to see if 
theosophy offers any means of making the contact. 

This perspective on TS yoga elevates the whole issue to the level where 
it properly belongs.
