Theos-Talk Archives (August 1998 Message tt00433)

Rudy,

Is there a internet provider (private) in Cuba that the TS may
subscribe?

If yes, maybe we can all contribute to support that effort.
We could also send a lot of information in a CD (740 MB). We could also
work in accummulating Theosophical material in Spanish in some site.
Just an idea, my brother.

==========================================================

Regarding the internet, the information is great, but my eyes get tired
very quickly, and therefore very impractical for me. It is a great tool
for research. One can spend hours everyday in viewing, reviewing,
downloading tons of information . . . So what . . . And after all that
: Do you know yourself more than before? Are you a more compassionated
person? Are you (quoting from Isis "thoroughly eliminating from ... mind
and spirit ... selfishness and other impurity ... also the infection of
superstition and prejudice?"

Not really if there is no quality time left for meditation and the
practical aspects of daily living in a social community.

I prefer an equilibrium of virtual information and attending to live
presentations and group meetings were I can participate in the group
aura and the magic resulting from the synergy of sharing, cooperation
and warmth.

So, I do not share with Ramadoss his 'virtual' dream of seeing
information flowing mainly through virtual channel, monitor screens
which ultimate will be solder to some brain neurons . . .
