Theos-Talk Archives (June 2000 Message tt00124)

Although I know the points you are all making, I might add another
viewpoint from someone afraid of water.
Anyone perceived as a god(by themselves or others) who stands on the bank
and says "stand up" might be considered a savior by some, but to me I'd
drather have a typical theosophist who is very aware of the human condition
within themselves, wade out and help me stand up. That's why people drown
in small amounts of water, they can't decide which way is up. That's why
this list is so important. It's often the little puddles that cause us
problems, and someone who has inhaled a little water themselves, can wade
in without fear and with a lot of humity. 
All the theory in the cosmos doesn't help if we always stand on the bank
and give advice.
That's why "living the life" is important.
Just another way of looking at the illustration given. The more viewpoints
offered, the more options for comment.
