Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt01411)

I plugged in Theosophy in Melbourne and came up with a few sites.  Although I have not attended other than TS in Russell Street.  I also recall hearing that there was a Brighton section which was recommended.

I haven't attended the TS in Melbourne for over 10 years now, and at times, miss the connection and the folks there.  

Joe and Elsie were my mentors and I am wondering if they are still around.  Would you know.  Joe has years and years of theosophical knowledge and I miss his talks and his easy way of explaining abtruse problems.

Cheers
Cass

 Thanks!
 That edition of Isis is so far I know 100% (I think this is on the 
 TS Bookstore's bookshelf on Russell Street) correct, but the SD is I 
 suspect the Point Loma-edition. KT made same 1700 changes in that. 
 But she was honest, which not something one can say about 
 Theos.Com., so the most of the changes are marked. 
 
 By the way. Do you, Cass, know if there are any theosophical 
 activities, besides of Pasadena Soc. and Adyar Soc. (I don't count 
 Theosophical Fellowship and Charles Reither's things as 
 theosophical), here in Melbourne?
 
 Regards,
 
 Carl
