You know best what would work in your country, but I do think studygroups are essential. Perhaps tackling basic things like altruism versus egoism, karma etc.

Hi Estrella,<br />
<br />
This was meant to talk about the typical theosophist. The typical Adyar theosophist is positioned somewhere in the spectrum Blavatsky-Besant/Leadbeater-Krishnamurti, but they're not generally too intolerant to those who disagree with them. People always pay more attention to the negative (this Blavatsky-Besant/Leadbeater stuff for instance). That doesn't mean it's important or essential.<br />

Yes Katinka, i followed the link that you posted in the TS in Mexico. i had no idea that it reunited together again. Last i knew the TS had some disintegration in Mexico in the early 2000's.<br />
<br />
I am going to get in touch with the TS fellows in south Mexico. thanks anyway, and keep us in touch if you can reach the Mexico delegate in the congress. I'll be very glad if you do.

What about THAT typical conflict that ALWAYS appears dealing with the figures POST Blavatsky-Olcott Theosophy? (Mainly, W.Q. Judge vs Bessant-Leadbeater affairs)<br />
<br />
THAT is the main conflict, and in most parts on the world -except as always, U.S. - the Adyar branch keeps being the rule - that is, pledging to Bessant - and for that means pledging to Leadbeater's point of teaching - instead of the Point Loma's point of view - or that means, U.S. Point of view, that means, pledging to W.Q. Judge's…

Judge's point of view of Theosophy after the main split since Blavatsky-Olcott's deaths -<br />
<br />
I've seen Theosophists get mad and rage about that issue. That looks to me like the main source of conflicts in theosophy issues.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
YEP, this is NOT a political party - though sometimes works sort of similar - similar points of view, but not alike; diversity, as always, is part of the richness in Theosophy, the learning of the divine truth...<br />
<br />
Let us not forget that. !AH! BTW, yes, Theosophists should start working more with the new technologies, so the newest generations of future truth searchers of the "Y" and successive generations can get more interested in it...<br />
<br />
Trying to make the esoteric subjects to kids more appealing could be one important part to get them attracted in the issues. Anyway, they will get to the esoteric issues whether they see them in a crappy movie like "Twilight" or a Harry Potter Book. All of these appealing s to the occult side could be tracked and beamed to Theosophical issue if authors can make them more attractive to younger kids and teens.<br />
<br />
This is a very interesting topic and it can be scratched more to make a good topic of discussion on it.<br />
<br />
Thank you again for the space Katinka. it is always a pleasure to talk to you...<br />

You're right: there's a Mexican Delegate coming. There's apparently a whole section of the TS in Mexico. They have a website too: <a href="http://www.sociedadteosofica.mx" target="_blank">www.sociedadteosofica.mx</a> - so the Adyar TS website tells me. Been there since 1919 apparently.

Yes Katinka, you have mentioned that the Mexico delegate of the TS it is coming. I have absolutely also, no idea what she will be talking about. For me, it is a big surprise, even, that we had an structured TS here in Mexico.<br />
<br />
Mexico it is quite big also....and somethimes the North has no idea what the South is doing...like the story of the Head not having a clue what the feet are doing or where are walking to.<br />
