On the subject of "Theosophic truth" and "getting down to 
business" I can't help wondering why it is that there doesn't 
seem to be much discussion on this list about the kinds of 
isssues, subjects that Theosophy, as brought to us by HPB, is, 
(unless I'm mistaken?), basically founded on: Didn't she go to 
Tibet to learn about Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism before she 
wrote Isis Unveiled, Secret Doctrine, and other books and 
articles? When I try to introduce discussions that I see as 
related to (or possibly related to . . .) the teachings of such as 
Tzongkhapa and Asanga and "mind only" and "middle way" 
schools (as in my recent posts), I'm getting rather short shirft 
from this list. I can't complain about the Theos-1 list, though.

Speculatively,
Mauri
