The following maybe is not what you had in your minds. I'm thinking about a non-formal theosophical site.  On it you can: 

Describe some local events, ask questions, share your thoughts on anything, ask for help in dilemmas of life, express your concerns and confusions, learn to be free communicating, for we are a big family scattered all over the world. It will give the opportunity to receive and give to each other a lot of comfort, which many of us want. I am the only theosophist in my area (hundreds of miles around). I think many other theosophists are in the same situation. Inter-nationality of participants will give this site even more flavor.

 This is a very good idea. Initially there may be some resistance from some quarters but as a first step, all can accept the teachings that came directly from the Masters.  This will lead to acceptance of H.P.B. as their agent and messenger in the physical world.  Union is strength and harmony, and well-regulated simultaneous efforts will be very beneficial.  This has been the secret of all associations since mankind existed.  Only by building on a sure foundation of demonstrated fact can the superstructure be stable.  Individualism can be overcome by the feeling of solidarity and brotherhood. To quote from "The Key to Theosophy"  "....the next impulse will find a numerous and united body of people ready to welcome the new torch-bearer of Truth.  You may publish my views on the International Theosophy Conferences website.

Yesterday in the afternoon I received your e. mail through it you ask me about the need of unity between all of the theosophist around the world. Of course that I think that there is a very needness about it. Resides ir souled ve excelente tú share some material with theosophist theaches in order to spread our teachings around the world.

Excuse me for my English. My native language is Spanish.

First, a comment on the date.  It is not accidental that the conferences over the years have been in August.  It was chosen by Wylda Dade, who started the gathering and held it at her house for 6 years, and it is the weekend closest to HPB's birthday.  The advantage of a consistent date is that people can plan their summer knowing when the conference will be held.

It makes sense to me to select the Radisson Hotel because of the cost and the available meeting room.  We could negotiate parking, perhaps.  It is nice to have a total amount to give to people and not include a lot of add-ons.  Another plus is that it is within walking distance of the Lodge.

I think there should be one program and people can choose to attend or not. You have suggested using a hotel meeting room as well as the LA Lodge auditorium and Pathfinder Lot.  That sounds like a good plan to me.   You include some time for socializing which is great.  It is a valuable way to spark each other and adds to the enjoyment of being together.

With all good wishes,

Yes, I think there should be greater sharing (unity?) among theosophical groups. Theosophy is a body of knowledge available to every human being on the planet. So, all of us have the opportunity to discuss and hear insights regarding the reading and study. Each of us is a piece of a large puzzle, and can possibly enhance the big picture from our particular point of view. One humanity, one Theosophy.

Thanks for the periodic emails. Time has a way of getting away, doesn't it?  I just wanted to say hello to you two, and to let you know I hadn't quite dropped off the planet. Our publication work has made some pressing demands (sorry -- couldn't resist); this and other duties have kept me pretty well occupied.  Doubtless the same for you. All is well here, with the usual daily challenges to keep us grounded (in a good way) and optimistic, as theosophy quietly works its magic in the world.  One need only think of how things were a century ago to be encouraged, yet reminded that humanity is still in its 4th round.  We're fortunate to be able to participate in this noble effort. Hope you're both well. Cheers for the new year, and wishing you a beautiful sacred season.

PS: Thoughts on unity: they're pretty much the same as what I've written in Sunrise over the years. "Linking Ourselves with the Fellowship of the Mystery" is the one that first came to mind.  It was published in the special issue on HPB, Theosophy, and the TS (1991). The basic idea, not limited to organizations but extends to all mankind and beyond, is that it starts with a recognition of our inner touchstone -- all the rest follows.

Subject: Unity

Unity is a fact.  Whatever forms our work takes in the future incarnation begins here and now.  If there are obstacles and difficulties it is because they are needed in the process of creating these new forms.  The challenges have been big indicating great changes on the inner planes. 

Our duty is to raise up all matter, to be a better instrument for the Highest thoughts we are capable of.  This all students of whatever stripe are doing.  We just need to keep doing this as best we can from our own  centre.  Whenever a group of students becomes strong and their work becomes useful to others, it is good to know about this, so that the resources can be put to use by all. It is helpful to have a central location for all efforts to be linked.

 The postings from students around the world are used in smaller groups to expand on the principles of Theosophy.

The magazines highlight ideas from the larger texts of Theosophy, and it is of great benefit to have us all reading the same articles monthly.  Imagine what that looks like on the higher planes! 

Mr. Judge spoke of "no method" , but to use all methods.  Conferences are a source of great strength, and even if we cannot physically go, the joining together helps us all. 

 Is it possible that we need students to act as seems best  and to leave results to the Law. We should avoid having an opinion about the work of others putting all our heart and mind into what we see needs to be done.

 As other spiritual groups around London Ontario Canada have expanded the lodge has gotten smaller.  It is difficult to keep up with all the diversity.   Over the years though, many have dropped into the lodge.   If  they all came to one meeting there would not be enough room. 

What I find most puzzling though is when enquirers come in and ask if we ever study anything else besides Blavatsky and Judge.  When asked if they have ever read or studied these books, they say no, or that they read them a little.  They wanted us at the lodge to be more open, but they did not want to study the Key or the Secret Doctrine or The Ocean  When asked why, they said because it was too hard, written too long ago and there are better writers now.  We do have film nights and refer to  modern and ancient philosophers, scientists, poets, etc.  but it still does not change the concept that we are "stuck" reading 100 year old books!! (beware of change)

Then we have students who stomp out when there is anything mentioned of Plato , Emerson , Jill Bolte Taylor ,Tolle or other writers saying that the meeting is getting sidetracked from the original lines.

My question is "Is it possible that all such thoughts are of the lower manas?  Is the search for Truth the basis of Unity, the position beyond opinion?  Lower manas will do anything to avoid that task.

Sorry to be so late in responding, no excuse.  Of course I feel there should be greater unity between theosophical groups.  We really should be one.  If organizational technicalities prevent that, at least there should be intimate communication and inclusion of all groups concerned.  We are too few to be fragmented.  I am aware of various groups but prefer to think in terms of unity rather than division.  We need each other.

That's very short and to the point, hardly worth publishing, but you may if you wish.

From: NelsonNo1@aol.com

The question of unity among the various Theosophical groups comes up often. Perhaps that is because in the past there has been a rather "holier than thou" attitude among some members of the various groups. By its very nature, such an attitude is untheosophical. Blavatsky emphasized that difference of opinion is important in the TS. Difference of opinion makes us think. Fundamentalism can be and often is dangerous. All we need do is to look at the religious fundamentalists in the world to see the horror that frequently comes from rigid, intransigent positions.

HPB said that The Secret Doctrine was written "to appeal to the inner faculties," and that if we expected to find The Truth in it we will be disappointed. Unfortunately, some believe that they know the Truth because they have read what their favorite Theosophist has written. Repeating the words will never do. It is the music beyond the words that is important. It is by pondering the great principles of Theosophy with an open mind that we may gain insight into what has been called the unspeakable, and unthinkable Truth.

In the TS, Adyar, each group is bound to the parent body only by the declared objects of the Society. Otherwise each group is autonomous. Personally I have always regarded members of all Theosophical groups as fellow Theosophists, just as I regard all branches of the TS, Adyar, as groups of fellow Theosophists. Organizationally, I think it is probably best to accept that the different groups function autonomously rather than trying to unite them under one organizational umbrella. It seems to me that the important thing is that we all strive to regard one another as fellow travelers in search of Truth rather than as groups who have already found it. If we take that point of view, perhaps the rancor of the past will die a peaceful death and we can celebrate a new birth in the Theosophical movement, one where we are together differently. I rather suspect that HPB would like that.

Yes this is a need.  It is so easy to get caught in one's own world, even in Theosophy. 

From: tsincov@bellsouth.net

The unification of soul and physical body (Light) provides the insight into the unification of all humans as friends.  This is why the smile is now and has always been the most steadfast universal language.  The theosophical smile is the earnest smile and is something that everybody everywhere does to offer the same expression in the same language always. There can be no seperateness in this so at least smile even if you feel that all else has failed.  All will be seen more clearly.  

Namaste,
