<< Chuck says that a  compulsion for respectability has caused the Adyar TS
to adopt whatever coloration is fashionable rather than being creative  or
distinctive.  That, too seems right on.  After being an  international joke
in the wake of  Krishnamurti's departure, the  attitude seems to be to show
just how mainstream we are.  TPH  has published a lot of fine books by
creative authors-- but  they haven't been Theosophists and haven't written
about  Theosophy.   >>

I agree with these statements, especially regarding the mainstreaming of the
Adyar TS. It's this penchant for consensus and the desire for approval by
others outside the Society that causes the TS to dilute its teachings. I
think it was Malcom Muggeridge who said that, "when once you begin to believe
in nothing, then you can agree on anything".
