Your comments are apposite – what has truth done to deserve such treatment. Rather, it should be treated with respect… and pursued with humility and also determination to free ourselves from our own (largely self-imposed!) delusion. Eds.

It is also important to remember at this moment the founding editor of the “Aquarian Theosophist”, Jerome Wheeler.

In his text “A New Paradigm”, Jerome writes:

“As a student I firmly think theosophy is healthier than it has ever been ― mainly because it is achieving what the several Initiates who came together to initiate its activity in 1875 intented to accomplish. That one among the “several” who founded the impulse became the Manu for the cycle so founded ― not in the anthropomorphic sense of “he did it”, but as viewed in “Keynote of Consciousness”.”

The text deserves a calm and meditative reading by all students.

Theosophy is Truth and Altruism, and is also related with the use of discernment. We can also see that altruism is necessary to unmask falsehood, error and pseudo-theosophy.

In the text entitled “Liberation From Pseudo-Theosophy” Robert Crosbie is very clear about that. The text can be found in the List of Texts in Alphabetical Order at http://www.TheosophyOnline.com.

Congratulations on an exciting and informative final issue from the devoted original editor in London, UK, and gratitude to you for your dedicated efforts to spread Theosophy ‘pure and simple.’ We trust the future helm will continue the theme of open dialogue with a world much in need of spiritual ideas, wherever they may be found. Ever remembering we are merely the ‘companions’ who look only to the ‘preservers,’ the Lodge of Masters in their wider Wisdom to point out the true Path. They are the ultimate judges of what, or what is not pseudo-Theosophy. For Mme. Blavatsky, Their amanuensis, there was only one criterion for ‘real Theosophy,’ in her own words: “For real Theosophy IS ALTRUISM, and we cannot repeat it too often. It is brotherly love, mutual help, unswerving devotion to Truth. If once men do but realize that in these alone can true happiness be found, and never in wealth, possessions, or any selfish gratification, then the dark clouds will roll away, and a new humanity will be born upon earth. Then, the GOLDEN AGE will be there, indeed.”

Thanks – “It is so very difficult for a materialist to raise himself, or for one who is naturally spiritually-minded to descend to the level of the matter-of-fact vulgar thought. Optimism and pessimism depend on it also in a great measure.” (from ‘Astral Bodies, or Doppelgangers’).

It follows that from the higher plane of thought comes a plastic power of formation (imagination) that produces thoughts far more intense and so correspondingly far more creative, the well recognised path of genius.

Without reservation a brilliant issue of Aquarian Theosophist. Kudos to the Editors and contributors! Additionally Mme. Blavatsky wrote that optimism and pessimism were directly connected with the dual mind, and developed through the "plastic power of the imagination." This is found in HPB's Dialogues Between the Two Editors, "Astral Bodies, or Doppelgangers" - worth reviewing in connection with this important lead article in AQ.

Translation
“The messages that this site offers are particularly instructive for us especially the theosophists of Jacmel HAITI. We find the ideas for our studies and inspiration that leads us to consider the path traveled by the pioneers and seniors (elders). We always re-read all these messages and we discover powerful ideas.”
