Perhaps, Thoa ... had you tried unsuccessfully for quite some to "increase
communication" and wound up with head bloodied from beating it against a
brick wall ... you might understand why not everyone was instantly in love
with the idea of trying again. It you think Doss and Bart were ridiculed ...
then talk to Bing Escudero, talk to Paul Johnson ... talk to some members of
the Boston Lodge -talk to people that have had outright institutional
*campaigns* orchestrated against them by people using the full resources of
the Theosophical Society to forward their own agendas. I welcome your
attempt to try to open communication ... and you have the same optimistic
attitude many of those you see expressing apparent negativity also had at
one time. I wish you luck.

But I'm not going to sit and meditate when I see the TS being destroyed.
