Time to Pump The ABS — Umps — YOU’RE OUT!
Its time. We’ve waited long enough. For over 100 years, human umpires calling balls, strikes, fair, foul, safe, or out, were a necessary element of the game of baseball. Because they’re only human, we also had to accept that on occasion, they would make human errors and blow calls.

A Brief Exploration of Esoteric Buddhism
Also known as Theosophy, Esoteric Buddhism is a spiritual science first introduced to the western world in 1875. I personally discovered the philosophy about five years ago, although I recall brushing up against it perhaps fifteen years earlier during a spiritual renaissance when I had unlimited internet access at work and plenty of free time to browse the web. Back then, the strange name of "Blavatsky" was hard enough to pronounce, much less comprehend the nuanced underpinnings of the system she taught. To further complicate things (as I learned much later), after her passing, other members of the Theosophical Society (such as Alice Bailey and Annie Bessant) made their own contributions, greatly muddying the waters of the original teachings and adding a distinctly Christianized slant. For the purposes of this article, I will only be touching on HPB's works and some of her contemporaries and students such as William Quan Judge, Colonel Henry Olcott and Robert Crosbie, who founded the ULT (United Lodge of Theosophists) in 1909 with the strict mission to not let the core, original teachings be diluted.
