The Aquarian Theosophist goes on writing about their efforts to get the TS Adyar to recognize Judge. I’m pleasantly surprised at the calm tone of their last post. They report that the German TS website mentions Judge as one of 5 theosophists who... Read More

SEO: making your theosophy site get google traffic
I know some high up theosophical bobo’s read this blog, so I thought I’d share a must read article on THE main Search Engine Optimization (SEO) blog out... Read More
The challenges and opportunities facing the Theosophical Movement
We had a members meeting in the Dutch TS (Aydar) at the end of May. It was spirited, but business like. That is: we discussed important issues, without scapegoating. I thought I’d share the main issues. I am glad to see that the tabu on... Read More
A typical (Adyar) theosophist…
As an exercise in PR, I’d like to profile a typical theosophist. Having such a profile might help us in attracting a few of those theosophists outside the TS that Blavatsky mentioned. That is: we should see this person in our minds when... Read More

Can someone be active in several theosophical organisations?
In other words: How should we deal with members of the Theosophical Society Pasadena or the ULT in the TS Adyar? We had this come up in our local lodge the other day. We were talking about the program for next year, and the topic of who should go in... Read More
