	This is why a group where the danger does not exist is so rare. And
about the only way that a significant number of these groups can form
over the same period of time is if there is a tremendous amount of cross
pollenization, until the right group meets. From extrapolating from the
Mahatma Letters, a group that makes it all the way only gets formed once
every few centuries; it is my opinion that the knowledge and concepts
publicized by the TS has greatly speeded up this process.
