Dear Liesel:

>From what I have understood about Theosophy, it is my understand that the
life blood of Theosophy is to make all of us concerned about the well
being of our fellow beings. The task of helping our fellow beings is so
important and urgent in the world that Those who have gone far ahead of
us in understanding welcome any one of us who can give whatever help we
can in this direction. It is also my understanding that They are not
looking for peons to serve them. In the world of today when there is so
much pain and suffering is there, much can be achieved by energetic,
enterprising self motivated self starters. When the "peonic" model is put
forward by anyone, there follows all the counter productive consequences
such as control over the thought and actions of other by those who claim
to have close contact or direct connection with Those who are far ahead
of us. No one needs an unnecessary intermediary. I believe Lord Buddha
said this.
