Long (very old) lines are hard to actualize and bring to fruition. The best is to unify a short lineage of transmission with an old one. But if a lineage, like the Vedic one, is not refreshed, they die and become impractical. A tradition without new Gnosis/Jnana is a dead tradition. Dead traditions almost always tend towards fundamentalism of some sort. In the case of Neo-Vedism, Neo-Vedanta, Neo-Advaita and Neo-Hatha you don't usually have a new revelation, just a rehash--often with a commercial twist. And that just makes the death of a particular line slower, although you can still squeeze some evolution out of it. An exceptional person with the right purva-punya might just still awaken. But make no mistake, these are systems in serious decline. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
