The core of Theosophy is to think for oneself, and in order to learn how to do this, one sets out to collect information and instructions, so that the process may begin.
It’s like learning to play a musical instrument. For many this doesn’t come on a silver platter; it takes years of profound and dedicated study. Sitting behind a piano, no one but the student can play ‘the instrument of instruments’. Are we studying the Esoteric Philosophy at all, and, if so, do we study it, for example, as if we were learning to play the piano?
The Planetary Union (PU) or União Planetária is a Brazilian organization that is being confused with the Theosophical Society. That confusion is not adequately recognized in the following statement from the minutes of the recent General Council meeting at Adyar:
The Freedom of the Society Resolution affirms the independence of our Society from all other organisations. The time has come to study the content and significance of this important Resolution, and — more importantly — to apply it as necessary.
