a nice distinction.  However a few points still need to be addressed...

1) Why is the TSA backing off from this object (if it indeed is)?

2) The first object has *never* been met.  In fact, the various
TS organizations all (may) seem to have been formed because of the
*inability* to do precisely this Object.

3) The second and third objects are easily being meet with,
and being handled *better* by other independent *well* established  and
*larger* organizations.

4) in light of 3) above....  *without* the first object there is
currently no need to even *have* *any* theosophical society(s)
and/or organizations.

5) after over a hundred years of effort, with very marginal success
if not outright failure to meet the first three original objects...
why are we abandoning the initial goal with little or no discussion?

6) The next millenium needs the first object *more* (& *now*) than at
any other time in our history.  (MHO)
