Re: Theos-World RE: Theosophical Organizations -- ULT and its "Fiduciaries"

Dallas:
The U.L.T. pursues it objectives: They are only two:

1. Continuing to make available the ORIGINAL WRITINGS OF
H.P.Blavatsky and W. Q. Judge.

2. Providing a forum for their study and discussion.


All other matters are "side issues" and, if you read the
DECLARATION carefully you will be able to decide if it does what
it says it is constituted to do.

Frank:
Dallas, I am puzzled about your statement. As you suggest I just reread the
DECLARATION, which declarates:

"The policy of this Lodge is independent devotion to the cause of Theosophy,
without professing attachment to any Theosophical organization. It is loyal
to the great Founders of the Theosophical Movement, but does not concern
itself with dissensions or differences of individual opinion.
The work it has on hand and the end it keeps in view are too absorbing and
too lofty to leave it the time or inclination to take part in side issues.
That work and that end is the dissemination of the Fundamental Principles of
the Philosophy of Theosophy, and the exemplification in practice of those
principles, through a truer realization of the SELF; a profounder conviction
of Universal Brotherhood."

Question: You limit the ULT goal to book printing and discussion groups. It
that the way how the ULT does understand the "cause of Theosophy"?
Why then did HPB found a Theosophical Society and not simply a book club? A
book club prints and sells books, sends their authors on lecture tours and
makes readers circles. That can all be done without giving the impression to
have anything to do with spiritual things.

Furthermore, when the ULT DECLARES to disseminate the "Fundamental
Principles..." why then, o Lord, one of the most important doctrines which
HPB taught her pupils orally, the doctrine of Messengers, how they come,
when they come, to whom they come, is suppressed since nearly 100 years?
Why??

Could it be that the ULT never had that doctrines as likewise the Theravada
Buddhists who limit themselves to the Pali canon only (the public teachings
of the Buddha)?

And if so, could it be that the ULT does not have further teachings?

And if so, too, why can the ULT speak of the "cause of Theosophy" and of the
"Fundamental Principles"? How can one speak about somethings he/she does not
know or does not understand?
I am puzzled and have no answer.
