So let them come to distroy my book-case.


The problem is not the destruction of books which can be 
brought in a book-store or which are on CD, but that it are 
very scary, perhaps world-wide unique old German books from 
the beginning of the 20th Century. The theosophical output 
of theosophical books, pamphlets and magazines in Germany 
was outstanding. They were bestsellers in their time, but 
are totally unknown today. One would assume that this 
situation may be a test for the German Theosophists whether 
they work to rebuild it or not. But instead to hold at least 
the status quo - that means to preserve those books and 
magazines which survived WWII - they destroy also the rest - 
and that with good conscience as

a) books are only matter and theosophy tries to destroy the 
matter
b) if the archives of any worht, then the Masters will take 
of it
c) as an Adyar librian told me, that the Masters have an 
underground archives in the Himalayas, therefore no need for 
an archive in Germany
d) we are in the TS to have pleasure in reading and 
chatting, not to be bothered with problems
e) everyone who talks about this problems like me is a black 
magician as the theme - destroying of all archives - in 
negative! So let them destroy!
f) John Algeo told in a German summer school: "Theosophy was 
always and will be always! It cannot be destroyed!" So why 
bother with the rapid destruction of all archives? Theosophy 
cannot be destroyed! He said it! Don't you trust our 
superiors?


The good humans sleep well - all is good, all is well. There 
are no problems. We become better every day! It's like a 
communistic party convention! We go ahead! Just think 
positive!
The post-war Theosophists in Germany have nothing to do with 
the destruction of the archives! It was solely Hitler!
