OK which is it?"generally speaking"the truth to each religion; or the
truth to theosophy; or the personal truth which is found individually;
or the "truth";or Bart's truth.Correct me or"us"(I'm sure you
will)pertaining to the true path.Our individual paths in this or any
other medium intertwine,is this the correct way or will you quote from a
convenient source once again.True theosophy?Who is appointed to tell all
what that is?Taking care of each other IS universal brotherhood.Perhaps
I'am "backwards"or even inferior.There are many people and groups who
are "backwards",does that mean they are not wise?I was under the
impression that theosophy was the WISDOM religion,is nothing to be
learned from all?
Will I be annihilated for being simplistic and "unenlightened" or am I
perhaps partially enlightened?Perhaps we should be specific about the
objective of theosophy.Humans love to be either or.To be specific about
an objective pertaining to any philosophy is silly.Philosophy will
always be a fuzzy science at best.HPB was wise and if she was in contact
with the masters that is good,but it is left up to us to take what she
put forth as gospel then we are defeating our own destinies.
