Re All Dan's Work


     All Dan's work he ennumerates is 
impressive, and it comes across as some 
sort of "self-sacrifice."  But the thing 
is, that it is NOT self-sacrifice, because 
he can't Stand to Do Anything Else!!  Ask 
him.  I know myself, because I do the same 
thing.  I've put myself at least 10,000 hours 
into archiving theosophical-related material 
onto computer, at least 40,000 pages.  I've 
self-published 10 theosophical books - all 
of which work no one wants, basically.  You 
can't give the stuff away.   Look at the 
work people do for free on the web - just 
theosophically - the huge UTF/Iyer website, 
John Desantis's work at Wisdom world, Wheeler 
and others on the "Aquarian Theosophist," 
- or this talk site in evidence, Eldon Tucker's 
work.  Or Pelletier's reprints. All of this 
is equal or more that Dan's work.  (I didn't 
see dan spreading any credit around.)  If 
you do critical work and take some theosophical 
into practical life, which is at base an 
attack on all the world's "vested interests," 
you can loose your livelihood and your 
life!  People working on "the other side 
of the law" are also huge workers.  People 
on the good, neutral, or nefarious side of 
things can be huge workers, its a neutral principle.

<Well, it is even MORE expensive to collect books,
material and do all 
the research that I do.  Since 1968, I have worked on
these projects 
and I have supported them thru my own funds earned by

<I have never kept track of the total amount of money
expended on my 
Blavatsky work.  I would suppose thousands and
thousands of dollars 
of my own money has been devoted to this project.

<When I was still a student in college, I supported
Walter Carrither's 
Blavatsky Foundation sending $50 per month to help
support Walter's 
research and work.  50 dollars may not sound like alot
of money but 
in the 1970s and when I was still a student that was
alot!!

<Before the advent of the world wide web and the
creation of my 
website, I used to spent hundreds of dollars
photocopying material

<And I suppose I will continue to my dying day working
on more 
Blavatsky projects and my website.
