More or less.<BR/><BR/>Amoeba, it seems to me universal perfectibility is certain without reincarnation and doubtful with. I agree regarding the scientology precedent. I had the same thought.<BR/><BR/>Quilly, the theosophical society has a big garden sanctuary near my office.

A clue arises from Judaeo-Christian Holy Writ: "In God's image God created [humans]." <BR/><BR/>Thus I proffer a guess as to the principal object of veneration in the theosophist <I>sanctum sanctorum</I>: the mirror.<BR/><BR/>The concepts of universal reincarnation and continual progress to perfection must come in handy.
