I love it. It remnds me of the answer to a question asked of a leading
Theosophical luminary (possibly Arundale).  A questionaer asked him
about meditation.

"Do you mean ordinary meditation or theosophical meditation," he
asked.

"Theosophical meditation," was the reply.

"Theosophical meditation," explained the teacher, "is a bunch of old
ladies drinking tea."
