Re: Theos-World Bring the Theosophical Society back to its original lines!

I don't accept that the Masters or the disciples have been in touch with anyone since HPB's days. These fringe organizations claim a connection with a master in order to justify their teachings, I believe they are deluding themselves and are probably dealing with some wily theosophist on the astral plane.

But a new and better TS or seeking to promote the present TS to follow the Original Programe I will do an effort on.

>>Dear Cass
>>
>>My views are:
>>
>>try to read the links in my previous mail carefully, and you will find out, that H. P. Blavatsky says she allowed people to become members, when they were honest at the moment they filed for membership and that she allowed herself to ignore the fact that they perhaps or probably would change their heart after a short while. And for this she had to pay karmically. Therefore she changed the allowance of members arriving in the Esoteric Section, so that the vulgar were not allowed to become a member. (Try here and read past page 585: http://www.katinkah esselink. net/blavatsky/ articles/ v12/y1890_ 055.htm )
>>
>>Here is my take on it based on the words given by H. P. Blavatsky.
>>I would rather say that the theosophical teachings operate in accordance with time, place, people, teaching, teacher and circumstances. No one can force people to do what they do not want. As they say: You can tak a mule to the water, but you cannot force it to drink. Therefore the break-away as you mentioned and not merely because they were thinking by themselves. Because people most often do that.
>>And that was why the Theosophical Society at first began as a semi-secret masonic-like body, and also because of the fact that at that time such a body was much more able in turning into something useful. The Objects were put under pressure in the beginning of the 1880-ties, when certain persons sought to promote some political theosophical Constitution and Rules in their branches. Slowly through the years the Constitution and Rules began to deviate from the Original lines. And Olcott and other leaders of the TS fell and deviated from the Original Lines, especially in 1884 according to H. P. Blavatsky in Blavatsky's Collected Writings and her letters. H. P. Blavatsky created the Esoteric Section in 1888 as a respones to this problem, even when we know that there were a higher Inner group beyond this probationary one, because several Chelas are mentrioned in Blavatsky's Collected Writings (Here they and a few others are: Damodar K. Mavalankar, H. S.
>Olcott, W. Q. Judge, Mohini Chatterjee, Djual Kool, Subba T. Row, Gargya Deva, S. Ramaswamier, Darbhagiri Nath, and more). It was done - as a protest and a call for compassion, and the promotion of a Universal Brotherhood - in 1888 so to turn the Theosophical Society back to the Original lines according to Blavatsky's own words which I have alrady quoted for you.
>>
>>So I would rather say that some of the students, those who were too vulgar, were allowed in the beginning through H. P. Blavatsky's fault and her wish of collecting a certain amount of members. And some of them fell on the Path, when tested. And people get tested on the probationary Path. After the change were only non-vulgar members were allowed, we even there find that some of them fell after a while. The Path towards liberation and Moksha is not without trials and problems. There is nothing new in this. Through the centuries many have tried and fallen, and only few succeded. They were those who were ready to succeed. The Law of Karma is strict, it never fails and never allow it self to be mocked. - H. P. Blavatsky died only a few years after the formation of the Esoteric Section. But she almost predicted her own death in the Esoteric Section papers. (Try: Blavatsky Collected Writings Volume 12 Page 491-492) 
>>
>>But these are just my views, which at least are supported by H. P. Blavatsky in her own papers from the time.

>>Morten,
>>Look what happened - those that joined the esoteric group soon began to have their own ideas - and hence the breakaway. Theosophy in its infancy needed to be spread to the wider community, one could only do that by introducing an esoteric section that delved into the deep and hidden teachings. As I said it seemed as though some of those students began to think that they knew more than their teachers and the inevitable outcome of that was that theosophy became diluted or altered which would have defeated the purpose of the esoteric section. As they say, a little knowledge in the wrong hands!
>>
>>Perhaps they learnt that the theosophical message challenged their own personal beliefs, and rather than change those beliefs, twisted them to fit in or be accomodated by their own personal belief system. You can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink, as they say.

>>>
>>>Let me seek to explain why...
>>>
>>>1.
>>>H. P. Blavatsky said in her Esoteric Section papers:
>>>"Having omitted, however, the usual precautions of the probationary period, I have but myself to thank; and therefore, it is but just that I should also be myself the first to suffer for it at the hands of the inexorable Karmic law. For this, ironclad as I have been made by daily and almost hourly unjust attacks, I would have cared but very little; but that which I deplore the mostââwith a bitterness few of you will ever realizeââis the fact that such a number of thoroughly earnest, good, and sincere men and women should be made to suffer for the guilt of the few. For, though but a fault of omission on my part, still that guilt, as I feel, is due to my neglect. Behold! my Karma appeared as a warning almost from the beginning of the E.S."
>>>...
>>>"I had started well. Several of those whom I knew to be entirely unfitted to take the pledge have been refused from the first; but I proved unable to withstand their prayers when certain of them declared to me that it was their âlast chance in life.â The âpledge feverâ made short work of their promises. One broke her vows only four days after signing her pledge, becoming guilty of the blackest treachery and disloyalty to her HIGHER SELF. And when I could no longer keep in the E.S. either herself or her friend, the two convulsed the whole Society with their calumnies and falsehoods. Then it was that the old wondering query, âHow is it that âpoor H.P.B.,â notwithstanding the Masters at her back, and her own insight, is so evidently unable to know her friends from her foes?â ran once more the round of theosophical circles, both here and in America.
>>>Brothers, if you will judge from appearances, and from the worldly standpoint, you are right; but if you take the trouble of looking into the inner causes producing outward results, you will find that you are decidedly in the wrong. That you should no longer do me injustice, let me explain what I mean."
>>>.......
>>>"[And now I sincerely hope that you willââsome of you, at leastââlearn a lesson from my weakness, and show your appreciation of this by not judging me too unkindly if I now change somewhat my policy. For I have to either do so, or to drop the Esoteric teachings altogether, for those at any rate, who will disagree with this arrangement. To avoid repeating the mistake, this is what I propose doing. Each Paper will be sent as it was hitherto, only it will appear as a Supplement to the Ethics and teachings which will impart the rules of Discipline and the laws of Discipleship, as in the case of all Probationers. ] Those who accept the new arrangement will have to study the latter, or they cannot receive any more teachings from me. For, as saith the Book of Discipline in the Schools of Dzyan:
>>>
>>>âSpeak not the mysteries to the common vulgar, nor to the casual friend, or new disciple. With prudent eye to the possible consequences, keep locked within your breast the teachings received, until you find a listener who will understand your words and sympathize with your aspirations.â
>>>This does not mean that you are at liberty to repeat what you have learned to anyone whom you believe to answer that description, but that you can exchange views with your co-disciples who are pledged as you are yourself."
>>>http://www.katinkah esselink. net/blavatsky/ articles/ v12/y1890_ 055.htm
>>>
>>>2.
>>>H. P. Blavatsky said in her Esoteric Section papers:
>>>"The Masters can give but little assistance to a Body not thoroughly united in purpose and feeling, and which breaks its first fundamental ruleââuniversal brotherly love, without distinction of race, creed or colour; nor to a Society, many members of which pass their lives in judging, condemning, and often reviling other members in a most untheosophical, not to say disgraceful, manner.
>>>For this reason it is now contemplated to gather the âelectâ of the T.S. and to call them to action. It is only by a select group of brave souls, a handful of determined men and women hungry for genuine spiritual development and the acquirement of soul-wisdom, that the Theosophical Society at large can be brought back to its original lines. It is through an Esoteric Section aloneââi.e., a group in which all the members, even if unacquainted with one another, work for each other, and by working for all work for themselvesââthat the great Exoteric Society may be redeemed and made to realize that in union and harmony alone lie its strength and power. The object of this Section, then, is to help the future growth of the Theosophical Society as a whole in the true direction, by promoting brotherly union at least among the few."
>>>.......
>>>"As to the relations of the Masters to this Section, it may be further said, paradoxically, that with Them everything is possible and everything impossible. They may or may not communicate personally on the outer plane with a member, and those who are continually wishing to receive âordersâ or communications directly from Them on this plane, either phenomenally or otherwise, will in all probability be disappointed. The Masters have no desire to prove Their power or give âtestsâ to anyone whatever. And the fact that a member has concluded that a crisis of some kind or other is at hand, when, according to his wise opinion, the Master or Masters ought to speak and interfere personally, is no sound reason for such an outward interference.
