	Actually, I do not believe that any of the seed groups would come out
of the Theosophical Society. Rather, I believe that the seed groups
could only be formed in an atmosphere of religious experimentation, an
atmosphere which the TS was a key part of creating (although not
necessarily a major part). Secondly, I think that the knowledge made
public (or more public) by the Theosophical Society acted as a healthy
gene influx to these seed groups, increasing the chances that they will
eventually become Adepts. Mind you, the overwhelming majority of these
seed groups just self destruct.
