Theos-Talk Archives (September 1998 Message tt00069)

I agree with you, Dallas: MANAS (MAN) touches both: SPIRIT and MATTER and
we should find out everything that we can about MANAS (MAN). We should
learn about memory, beliefs, TRUTH, and so on. Krishnamurti gives very
important instructions on how to deal with the mind (as a tool).
Krishnamurti's teachings hold a key (a very important one) for practical
theosophy. The mind has to be transformed before we can use it to perceive
TRUTH. Without TRUTH all we have is a set of beliefs, and we have to be
brave enough to drop those beliefs and stand naked.  Then, we can start our
search for TRUTH.

I'll be very happy to continue this discussion.
