Theos-Talk Archives (November 2004 Message tt00158)

Dallas:
How else can brotherhood be achieved?
It is a gift, not an enforcement.

Frank:
The problem is that most theosophists create their theosophy 
according to their image.
Everyone understands soemthing different with such terms as 
brotherhood, justice, karma.

The Besantites called Judge unbrotherly because he finished 
her trial period as a chela in the E.S.
The Congerites called Emmett Small unbrotherly because 
refused to sign blindly a form that he regards Conger as a 
messenger of the Masters.

The Crosbie-ites called Katherine Tingley unbrotherly 
because she canceled his TS membership.


Dallas:
"Communism" was such an idea, but fails because it is 
enforced from outside.
So it turns out in practice to be a tattle-tale affair, and 
this brings on
its utter failure. Revenge and fear have destroyed its 
concept of
practicality.
