Theos-Talk Archives (March 1999 Message tt00264)

>>Come now, Jerry, this repeated attribution of negative attitudes to other
theosophists in this group adds nothing to the validity to your arguments,
nor does it lessen the validity of views different to your own. <<

 

First of all, I am not trying to win converts. Secondly, I do not mean

to imply that my views are valid while those of others are invalid. The

fear of psychism and liberation, and the feeling of unworthiness

because it is such a terribly hard Path that takes seven lifetimes

and so on is a valid point of view for those who are indeed not

ready to get into such things. The TSs fear publishing such things

because they know damn well that someone out there will get hurt

by it. I understand this. I just think that sometimes they go a little

overboard. To err on the side of caution is not necessarily the

way to go with occult matters. I feel it important just to discuss these

important subjects. Liberation is an option that is available to

anyone, but not if we are ignorant of it.
