Theos-Talk Archives (September 1999 Message tt00013)

By the way Dallas I deeply admire your long dedication to the principles of
theosophy and feel you are truly wed to the ideas and concepts underlying
the texts of theosophy... You do have I feel a very soul inspiring manner
of delivery.

I realize that this is a cardinal belief on Theosophy but I do not happen
to share it. To me the more I learn about Taoism, ancient philosophies in
other traditions, Sufism , the more I am inspired. I frankly do not feel
the same inspiration in theosophic texts!  As an example of our willingness
to sincerely approach the WISDOM TEACHINGS in other traditions.. we need to
be humble and self effacing.  - Art
