RE: Is the TS on Autopilot? == All gliders eventually land or crash !

Who said that our lives would be easy ?  But if we do have to
work, let us do so constructively.  Can we find where and how ?

Why not look on the TS and the theosophical world as being
dynamic.  We are waiting for what ?  Someone to do our work for
us ?  Why?  Look at the 3 OBJECTS do they way "wait" or "work" ?

The T S was established so people would have an unfettered,
non-dogmatic forum for concentrated work - it offers no "pathway
to heaven " to members.  It offers an opportunity to study and
work together.  ABOVE ALL IT SPEAKS OF "brotherhood" AND OF THE
SEARCH FOR TRUTH.  And that means we have to work for it.

If we neglect that then we "fail" in assisting the Masters in
their work of seeing that theosophy is spread about in the world.

We loose an opportunity for advancement, and the world is left
somewhat drearier.

Hope this is of help.

Dallas

>>Is TS on autopilot with the purely mechanical job publishing

Any ideas?

I think that the TSs are in pretty much the same position as the
early
Christian church. The church was on auto-pilot waiting for the
Second
Coming. The TSs await the return of HPB's next incarnation. In
both
cases there is the very real problem of possibly not recognizing
the
founder's return when, and if, it does happen. I think it quite
possible
that Jesus and HPB could both reincarnate and not be recognized
or
accepted by their respective organizations.
