The "tidal wave" is NOT "increasing," Frank.  Have more faith, love and
hope for humanity.  More and more people - not less and less - are
beginning to understand the broader picture.  And, believe it or not,
Frank, those who disagree with HPB, you, or Dallas may not be merely
wallowing in "illusion," "laziness," or "blind belief."  

Again, Dallas and now you, Frank, do NOT REALLY KNOW what TRUTH is (no
human does) - but Dallas and you have made clear that there is no other
"truth" or "viewpoint" that is valid.

And, contrary to your statement: Yes, Frank, we ARE WORKING FOR TODAY!
Today matters - for today people are suffering, lost, and sad.  Every day
matters and every person matters.  Those who look and work ONLY for some
way-off day in the future are ignoring and perhaps misunderstanding what
Life is - today matters, for today, someone may hear "God" or someone may
find Love or someone may learn the meaning of Compassion or someone may
need comfort or someone may need help.  Frank, Life is not about just 'me,
me, me and my own spiritual future.'  Many Theosophists seem to accept way
too easily the inherent selfishness of viewing TRUTH as a means for their
OWN spiritual reward.

If you and Dallas choose to love books and HPB more than this planet and
the living entities in it, so be it.  But don't think for one second that
all of us are just going to shut up and move aside - for me personally, the
belief system of you and Dallas is adding to, not lessening, the pain in
this world.
