Theos-Talk Archives (January 1997 Message tl00672)

<< Their main complaint is that theosophy is too cerebral. It fails to feed
the 
devotional side - no rituals, no spiritual practices. While giving some
truths, no attempt is made to translate truths into meaning - emotional
 meaning as well as intellectual meaning. Without this translation it is
difficult to know what to do practically with theosophical knowledge. It is
too concentrated. >>

This observation is quite true, hence, the need for peripheral groups like
The Liberal Catholic Church, the Co-Masonic Order, the Order of the World
Mother, the Egyptian Rite, the Order of the Mystic Star, the Krotona Drama
ritual, the Theosophical Order of Service, etc., etc. All these organizations
are siblings of the TS and were created, perhaps subconsciously, to satisfy
the need for ritual, devotion and service.
