Theos-Talk Archives (January 1998 Message tt00347)

Jan 25th 1998

Interesting comments are made.  But, can I be made party to the source from
which they emanate ?

What is stated in Theosophy in general is that the kind of information
given in our Theosophical Texts is that useful for maturing persons, to
widen and deepen their minds range and attention.  I believe that such
material as we are offered is that which is prepared and offered to those
who are passing out of the stage of "feed me," to the stage of:  "I will
seek and learn for myself !  All I need are pointers from those with
previous experience which are reasonable, useful, true and which I can
understand."

The time for open mouthed astonishment, and the vain hope for sudden
illumination without doing any work for one's self, and especially for
others, is quite past.

At least that is what Theosophy seems to be saying to us as I see it.  But
what troubles me most is to read many opinions which are not referenced
with those sources to which we, the readers, might go for verification of
propositions or statements that are offered, especially of actual
statements in our texts upon which those are based.

I would be grateful, and am grateful for all those who give references to
cover the basis from which they start.  Other wise, it is only opinion, and
that may satisfy the writer, but may not be able to inspire those who
desire to verify the logic or basis upon which such statements and opinions
are made.
