Theos-Talk Archives (October 2010 Message tt00100)

I note a tendency to scoff at the proposed price with a tinge of Jealousy. The price is steep to any of us (I bought my incomplete copy for under 50 dollars), but one should do well to see these artefacts as priceless and historical objects representing the solidifcations of theosophical doctrine.

Just look at the shambles the archives of theosophy are in. We cannot even establish what happened with Einstein's purported copy of the Secret Doctrine. It is stated that Adyar has it; Adyar says it doesn't have it. 

And then the discussion about Blavatsky's South-American tunnel entrance map. Supposedly Adyra has the original. But is a high res digital scan of it readily available to any researcher? Of course not.  I wonder if there's anyone still alive at the Adyar archives - or that years, decades of neglect and lack of true archival maintenance skills are masked by a profound and arrogant silence from those regions.

Why still no website with the relevant documents as pdf downloads? Why does theodophy not make use of the modern means of communication? No wonder nobody these days is seriously interested in theodophy, except as a quaint, old cult fad of our grandmothers.

regards,

Theo
