Adepts too may now choose among the most cleanest channel thru they
pour the ageless wisdom to the masses. Not only the ones who had money
and influence to be have anything published, as was in the old times. 

In the net, Adepts may stay anonymous, and TYPE the entire revised and
updated theosophic corpus BY THEMSELVES, should they occupy in flesh.
Without ANY interfering parties, or unenlightened minds.

Some day, somewhere, there SHALL BE pure and updated version of entire
Theosophic Corpus. So far, the Old Teaching suffices, and no major
updates or additions are needed. Should Theosophy be twisted in the
hands of the unknowing, I dare to say, that it'll take not long before
the original teaching is restored as it has always been restored.

HPB's Secrect Doctrine I & II is about 4.5MB unzipped, and 1.6MB
zipped. One single CD-RW can therefore hold 400 separate volumes of
the Secrect Doctrine! How long it takes to write those 400 books?

If one Adept writes 12 hours/day and 10,000 characters/hour (=2.77
keystrokes per second), in one day he has 120,000 characters ready,
which are directly publishable, pure and perfect. In 38 days the
entire SD is completed. 400 volumes takes about 15200 days, or 41
years. One Adept's lifetime. UNLESS, there are 99 other Adepts
creating in unison with the first one. So each Adept writes 4 books,
and it takes therefore 38*4=152 days. If they start TODAY, they're
ready before september 2001. Quickly enough? Ok, let's assume there
are only 10 Adepts typing. It would then take 1520 days, or slightly
over 4 years. Not too much, because that corpus is going to be around
for the whole millenium. And probably the next.

Until then...

Let us not worry about the purity of the writings,
but the purity of our own very life. That is all.
