Theos-Talk Archives (December 2005 Message tt00071)

=>Frank Reitemeyer is a strong and vocal 
advocate that promotes the 
Blavatsky-Judge-Tingley-de Purucker line of 
succession. He has no doubt whatsoever that 
this lineage is the true and genuine one. He 
is equally convinced that Leadbeater was 
nothing but a "swindler", etc. etc.

Lol, Daniel, as so often, you have 
misunderstood me. I never thought, said or 
wrote something to that effect that you took 
such foolish and sectarian words into my 
mouth. Before you denounce me publicly on 
your homepage, you should have better asked 
me whether you interpretation is right or 
wrong. My opinion and conviction after many 
years of study is and was - and that from 
beginning of my theosophical life, both in 
theory and in practice - that each 
theosophical lineage as each religion has 
something in it that is worth. But I do not 
have the socialistic viewpoint that all are 
of equal worth, nor have I the arbitraryness 
point of view that the truth can be found 
everywhere (or nowhere).

I believe that each lineage has is worth on 
its own plane, so long as the light shines 
above it. My research led me to the same 
conclusion as to which the late John Cooper 
came: That the Blavatsky-Point Loma-Tradition 
is until now the highest and truest 
expression of the spirit for which HPB stood 
for. But it is also true, that no single 
lineage - as I here and than wrote on 
theos-talk - has the whole truth and not each 
lineage has the same portion in quantity and 
quality of the uncorrupted original 
teachings. The Mahayana and the Hinayana are 
but two sides from the same coin and belong 
together.

Nor do I think that the present intellectual 
and spritual level of the TM is the final 
answer the founders had in mind. On the 
contrary, I think that all what we have in 
all theosophical lineages together, is but 
the kindergarten and not yet the finished 
temple. But regarding the Point 
Loma-Tradition I think it is the highest 
expression and comes nearest to the truth - 
but it is of course not the truth itself - 
self-evidently for anyone with an IQ over 80.

And to my humble opinion I think this my 
humble view is the same spirit HPB, Judge, 
Tingley (our highest tulku) and de Purucker 
followed, and I think GdeP said something to 
the same effect in one or more of his good 
fraternization addresses before Adyar Lodges, 
which was later printed as "Messages to 
Conventions". I hav my opinion before I ever 
read about it or had access to such books. 
You can imagine that I was happy later on in 
my study that I had not to re-learn or forget 
something, but found in the books of the 
messengers mentioned before, the spirit I 
ever liked much.

But all this quarrel about really or mayavic 
differences in teachings and interpretation 
of HPB is superfluos nowadays, where the 
Babylonian confusion has progressed so far, 
that Adyar prints Tingley, but in an 
un-Tinglian way, and Point Loma-bigots try to 
psychologyze me that Tingley has had nothing 
to do with Point Loma!

Nor do I think that you present on your 
homepage always the spirit for which HPB 
stood for, for example re the 3rd SD edition, 
her esoteric successors or your belitteling 
of the higher teachings.

Daniel, I beg you to correct your misleading 
public statement about me. Better write I am 
a Nazi or what not, that bothers me not. But 
make not a sectarian, a fanatic, lunatic and 
a bigot dead-letter worshipping flapdoodle of 
me!

Thanks!

Frank
