      Dear Preethi and friends



My views are:



Thanks Preethi.



I will dare ask a few questions in light of our exchange.

It is of course entirely up to you if you will seek to provide an answer. Maybe Keith Fisher has the answer.Preethi's comment: Perhaps none of us have the answer and that is WHY we need to have an open mind to listen to other viewpoints...and to share the little we know with each other...

>>> From the TS Adyar website we have the following objects <<<

Its three declared objects are :



To form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of Humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or color.



To encourage the study of Comparative Religion, Philosophy and Science.



To investigate unexplained laws of Nature and the powers latent in man.

http://www.ts- adyar.org/ objects.html



(A)

I will now ask you, if you are aware of how these objects of The Theosophical Society aught to be understood?Preethi's statement: My own understanding of that would be that we need to understand these from the heart, rather than the mind. At heart, there is only One Object of the TS -- divided for convenience of understanding into Three. Does it not occur to you, dear Morten, that the Three Objects -- so stated -- are merely representations of the Heart or Buddhi (First Object), the Mind or Manas (Second Object) and the Soul or Atma (Third Object)? Find me a human entity with the absence of any of these three Eternal Principles. Thus each human being is a receptacle of all the three -- Heart, Mind and Soul -- principles, for the COMBINED development and perfection of which the TS was founded.
PLEASE NOTE, dear Morten, that the Mind is placed below the Heart and above the Soul in the statement of the Three Objects. I believe there is a purpose for that as well. The Mind -- if it is well-oiled or functioning -- is guided by the Heart (intuition from above or buddhi) and rooted in the Eternal Verities (given to it through the Atma or Soul) or the Oneness out of which all emanated. Such a Mind will never -- as the Masters say in Their letters -- turn the powers to selfish ends. We, as members of the TS -- whatever be our calling in the world outside -- are exhorted to remember this, as we subscribe annually or lifetime to the TS...that our Mind must be a mere instrument for the Divine Plan to unfold through the Heart and the Soul. And all the problem -- including the current Divide in the TS -- all the wars and conflicts that we see in the world of today ensues from the Mind that is stuck -- if I may use that term -- to itself and has forgotten
 that it is a mere instrument, albeit a necessary one.

How do the TS relate to the following thoughts:



An expanding on the Object of TS about Universal Brotherhood:

The TS objects aims to avoid turning TS into a political party or that TS should be viewed as a the producer of such a one. Therefore no leaders of TS can hold their offices and at the same time be members of political parties of any kind. Neither officially or non-officially. With political parties we are talking about those groups and organisations, which are aiming at formulating physical laws on paper, digitalized or similar created by the human hand, and by non-divine hand; i.e. laws based on human penalty-making. - We hold it to be true, that the human ethics of a Universal Brotherhood (Fellowship ?) comes from within each individual and not through what is written in any laws by human hand or any laws by non-divine hand. - Any leader or official of the TS going against this aim - will run the risk of being expelled from the TS.Preethi's comment: I am not aware that there was an injunction such as this existing in the TS, but in view of my
 understanding above, I would say it follows; for, what is politics but a creation of the mind that seeks security through outer forms and identities? In politics, one would find games, masks, manipulations, divisions, etc. Brotherhood does not exist in these divisions. Brotherhood exists beyond them. And yet, it is through the ephemeral that one glimpses the Eternal...so let us not be hasty in chucking the ephemeral. Let us instead remember that it is ephemeral and things Eternal exist beyond and within the ephemeral.

(It might of course need reformulation. )

A few quotes by Blavatsky...



H. P. Blavatsky said:

"I have never written in all my life on politics, of which I know nothing. I take no interest in political intrigues, regarding them as the greatest nuisance and a bore, the most false of all systems in the code of ethics. I feel the sincerest pity for those diplomats who, being honourable men, are nevertheless obliged to deceive all their lives, and to embody a living, walking LIE." (H. P. Blavatsky)

http://www.katinkah esselink. net/blavatsky/ articles/ v10/y1889_ 004.htm



HPB said in 1883:

"Neither the Tibetan nor the modern Hindu Mahatmas for the matter of that, ever meddle with politics, though they may bring their influence to bear upon more than one momentous question in the history of a nationâtheir mother country especially."

(Blavatsky Collected Writings, Volume 6 Page 15  )

http://www.katinkah esselink. net/blavatsky/ articles/ v6/y1883_ 167.htm



HPB said in 1886:

  {"XIV. The Society having to deal only with scientific and philosophical subjects, and having Branches in different parts of the world under various forms of Government, does not permit its members, as such, to interfere with politics, and repudiates any attempt on the part of anyone to commit it in favor or against any political party or measure. Violation of this rule will meet with. Expulsion." 

  This rather alters the complexion put on the charge, which seems conveniently to forget that "scientific and philosophical subjects" are not the only declared objects of the Society. Let us not leave room for a doubt that there is more animus underlying the charges than would be strictly theosophical. } 

  http://www.theosoph y-nw.org/ theosnw/theos/ th-origp. htm

Preethi's Comment: HPB was an occultist, Morten. That is, the Laws of the Occult World ruled her life. Those Laws do not apply to everyone else, for whom there are laws according to their own, shall we say, "vocation" or "calling"....or stage of evolution, if you please.
You might or might not agree with this, but this feature is seen throughout the ages in all the Sacred Scriptures and ancient wisdom writings. So, for example, in the Hindu philosophy of the original division of castes and what becomes the members of each caste, we have binding rules, regulations and injunctions for the members of each caste. A Brahmin might not smoke, drink or eat meat. He needed to lead a very simple life living off the donations or gifts from others. This same system of living was followed by the monks of all religions that came after in some form or another. However, in the same religious text or philosophy, it was okay for a Kshattriya or Vaisya or Sudra to drink or use other substances; rich food; lavish lifestyle according to their status and affording; while the Sudra was allowed to eat meat as well.
This is quite simply also stated in the Mahatma Letters when the Masters say [I am not quoting verbatim here, so please do check the text fully in the ML] that in Their eyes an honest bootlegger has higher status than a dishonest king.

ANNIE BESANT

  Annie Besant said in her Presidential Address in 1917 - to the Indian National Congress:

  "In the adapted words of a Christian Scripture, it passionately cries: "What shall it profit a Nation if it gain the whole world and lose its own Soul? What shall a Nation give in exchange for its Soul?" "

  .......

  "This may seem strong language, because the plain truth is not usually put in India. But this is what every Briton feels in Britain for his own country, and what every Indian should feel in India for his. This is the Freedom for which the Allies are fighting; this is Democracy, the Spirit of the Age. "

  .......

  "And from that union shall arise the mightiest Empire, or rather Commonwealth, that the world has ever known, a Commonwealth that, in God's good time, shall put an end to War."

Annie Besant was quite obviously not an Occultist; so the Occult Laws which HPB was stating for anyone desirous to follow the Occult Path in the future, do not hold for AB.Based on my understanding of the Three Objects as they are stated, I would say that HPB most expressed the Three Objects, but almost everyone else who came with or after her personified or expressed one or two of the Three Objects -- something like the keynote of their life. Our current international President, for example, personifies the Second Object; though she also reflects to a lesser or greater degree the other Two Objects. Her Mind functions superbly. It is what comes through in every speech she makes; in all her writings...in the example of her life...
CJ had a balance of the Three; N Sri Ram of the Three as well....but with a leaning to the First Two....But, this is only my understanding....and I am a fallible human being.M. Sufilight ask:

  Now I wonder, what kind of Universal Brotherhood TS are aiming at these days when relating it self to political and non-political involvement?Preethi's comment: You would have to define that for me, Morten. I am totally at sea about this political and non-political involvement of the TS these days....Could you explain this further?
I hope I have not bored you with my long exposition. If I have, kindly forgive me in advance.

Much warmth

Dear Morten,



Thank you for your words and honesty. Thank you also for the words from the Masters of the Wisdom.



Fallible as I am, I do not mind when I am subject to scrutiny by the readers of my words. My aim in all these is anyway NOT to find blind believers, but rather to awaken the questioning mind that will eventually bathe the TS with its freshness. That QUESTIONING MIND is sorely and urgently needed in the TS today. A mind that is not content with Conclusions and thus has the courage ever to keep questioning, to keep asking, to keep seeking, to find its own inner essentiality rather than blindly following the outer authority(ies) .

Dear Preethi



My views are:



Just to let you know.



I have a tendency to support your efforts. A tendency, that is.



I will for one - out of compassion - support your views so far as they seek to persuade the Editors and leaders at TS to - so to speak - set the record straight on various areas of theosophical thought and schims (changes in views political, sexual, on the aims of TS, and its constitution/ doctrines if any etc. etc. ), which for years have created confusion among truly Honest Seekers After Truth and Wisdom + Compassion. - The question is whether those who has the option are willing, capeable and kind enough to do so - and to do it in the name of Compassion? 



Is it an expression of wisdom and compassion to keep in silence what the aims of the TS really are, when so many Seekers are waiting at the doorstep of the TS and will not enter because, the leaders embarassingly avoid or will not in any - clear and precise manner - reveal the aims of the TS for those who might be interested in joining the TS. 



Try to listen carefully to the following...



Master Morya said the following very wiise words:



"I say then that it is the vilification and abuse of the founders, the general misconception of the aims and objects of the Society that paralyses its progress -- nothing else. There's no want of definitiveness in these objects were they but properly explained. The members would have plenty to do were they to pursue reality with half the fervour they do mirage. I am sorry to find you comparing Theosophy to a painted house on the stage whereas in the hands of true philanthropists and theosophists it might become as strong as an impregnable fort. The situation is this: men who join the Society with the one selfish object of reaching power making occult science their only or even chief aim may as well not join it -- they are doomed to disappointment as much as those who commit the mistake of letting them believe that the Society is nothing else. It is just because they preach too much "the Brothers" and too little if at all Brotherhood that they fail. How

  many times had we to repeat, that he who joins the Society with the sole object of coming in contact with us and if not of acquiring at least of assuring himself of the reality of such powers and of our objective existence -- was pursuing a mirage? I say again then. It is he alone who has the love of humanity at heart, who is capable of grasping thoroughly the idea of a regenerating practical Brotherhood who is entitled to the possession of our secrets. He alone, such a man -- will never misuse his powers, as there will be no fear that he should turn them to selfish ends. A man who places not the good of mankind above his own good is not worthy of becoming our chela -- he is not worthy of becoming higher in knowledge than his neighbour. If he craves for phenomena let him be satisfied with the pranks of spiritualism. Such is the real state of things. There was a time, when from sea to sea, from the mountains and deserts of the north to the grand woods

  and downs of Ceylon, there was but one faith, one rallying cry -- to save humanity from the miseries of ignorance in the name of Him who taught first the solidarity of all men. How is it now? Where is the grandeur of our people and of the one Truth? These, you may say, are beautiful visions which were once realities on earth, but had flitted away like the light of a summer's evening. Yes; and now we are in the midst of a conflicting people, of an obstinate, ignorant people seeking to know the truth, yet not able to find it for each seeks it only for his own private benefit and gratification, without giving one thought to others. Will you, or rather they, never see the true meaning and explanation of that great wreck and desolation which has come to our land and threatens all lands -- yours first of all? It is selfishness and exclusiveness that killed ours, and it [is] selfishness and exclusiveness that will kill yours -- which has in addition some
 other

  defects which I will not name. The world has clouded the light of true knowledge, and selfishness will not allow its resurrection, for it excludes and will not recognise the whole fellowship of all those who were born under the same immutable natural law. "



http://www.theosoci ety.org/pasadena /mahatma/ ml-38.htm



Let the Leaders of the TS listen, because they are still important today!



- I ask compassionately: How can the theosophical aims be truly followed, when some of the teachers and TS Leaders of the past are turned into prominent ones, and into gurus on the level of Masters and Avatars - when a number of them at the same time are being dragged through the mud of confusion and deceit?



In the old days, none sought to promote waste of time - and - any issue of importance to the main teachings was most often solved and the stance of TS was set straight when understandable doubt crept in among the members. - Yet, Errare Humanum Est, also TS it seems.



- - -



Sometimes I wonder whether the Parliament of the World Relgiions are doing a more grand effort than we theosophists are these days. An effort of ending the strifes between the worlds religions - and the promotion of altruism and theosophy, while rejecting the pernicious dogmatic teachings of the Christians and others.

Have a heart, MKR. I have never used a pseudonym on this or any other site and I have been telling you all the way it is at Adyar and the rules that are broken or manipulated by the President in order for her continue on that post, and yet my words have been ignored, disbelieved and my integrity questioned.



So I am sure the pseudonym is not the problem. The problem basically is whether or not the information being given out is suited to or convenient for the President and her aides. When the information given is to their advantage it is accepted, praised and made a hue and cry about. When the information given is to their disadvantage -- as bringing to light the various hypocrisies, atrocities, corruptions etc. of the Presidential party -- then the information is disbelieved.

One never knows if the info is untrue, half true or just simply false, until



there is corroborative confirmation. That is one of the fundamental issues



with info coming from pseudonymers.



Also when information comes from non-pseudonymers, our past experience with



the individuals gives a degree of confidence and trust in the info being



true.



Usually the pseudonymers sign on and post some messages and disappear.
