It makes plain simple common sense to me. In the passage quoted below it is
simply stated that "we" (people of this generation, in the western civilization)
are subject to influences that tend to dissipate the life force ("light" or
"kundalini"). Some of those influences are listed: nicotine, alcohol,
self-abuse, rock music and drugs. They are declared to be unhealthy, producing
"death" rather than life. We are urged to wean ourselves from addiction to these
elements of our civilization, even though it will require the passing through
some witdrawal symptoms.

So, Dallas, please explain why statemets such as these do not make any sense and
why they would indicate questionable sanity on the part of its transmitter.

Then, please, explain also what is, in your opinion, so very "untheosophic"
about these statements.

Yes, of course - entirely in YVHO :)

This last statement must be a mistake? You claim that theosophy has nothing to
do with our personal situation? Such as what is good, what is bad for us etc? I
am sure I could give you hundreds of references from HPB to those kinds of
statements.

PS ("82" was put there as a reference to the year this was recorded)
