Beyond Gossips

Daniel,


Again, I have to tell you perhaps something too abstract for you to really grasp it.

The ULT being no political party; the ULT being no 'Theosophical Church', the ULT having no "party line" --   I am not personally responsible for the first or the second edition of the book "The Theosophical Movement". 

Again, I believe differences of view had a role to play in previous moments which is not the role they should play now, necessarily. 


Now is the moment to go beyond mutual criticisms and to build a common ground of cooperation and mutual understanding. The common philosophy is more important than some frustrating past events. 

Why circulating gossips then?  We have no need for that. 


Regards,  Carlos.
