  THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY WIKI   


bkstck
On July 23, the TS Wiki was unveiled at the Summer National Convention. It is a new Theosophical encyclopedia on the Internet, based on collaborative "wiki" software so editors around the world will be able to join in establishing a huge base of knowledge. A particularly interesting feature is
color images of the original Mahatma Letters, with transcriptions, notes, and commentaries.

Visit www.tswiki.net to explore this new tool, or contact Pablo Sender psender@theosophical.org and Janet Kerschner jkerschner@theosophical.org for more information.

Maria Parisen - How I Became a Theosophist

Maria Parisen sat down in the midst of her busy SNC schedule for an interview with us. Maria's story about her gradual immersion into the Society is a warm one, and her answers to questions regarding Theosophy are deep, compassionate, and thought-provoking.

"From a Sufi perspective, we are here to learn two things:
to be less selfish and to love."
