Theos-Talk Archives (June 2001 Message tt00028)

Dear Doss and Dallas,

perhaps my English is too bad, but that's not my point.
I agree with that you both wrote.
But I was trying to offer an explanation how Boris could have seen it.
I don't say it is right or wrong.
Please read my text again.

I was trying to say that there are rumours that Boris may have possibly
felt his inner duty to reveil something, considering that to his
understanding
the great majority of students of present day may have become unworth
for the deeper esoteric knowledge.
HPB once said about the Gautama Buddha that in his compassion he gave
too much of the teachings and later regretted it.
Perhaps a simliar situation for Boris who may have felt the same with the
modern theosophical teachings.

We know it for a fact that there is a huge bulk of higher, esoteric
theosophical
teachings existsing on the outer plane, but unknown even to the theosophical
public. Who is that possible? The only satisfying explanation to me is that
we
are not ready for them.

We know that HPB wrote a history of the mystery schools of the past.
The texts are not there. Why?

We know that Purucker planned too to write the story of the mystery schools.
And there were many other plans too. Why do we not have it?
An answer limited to the restrictions of the physical plane, problems to
find
good coworkers, money etc. is not enough seen with theosophical eyes.
Hope, that makes a little bit clearer what I want to say.

Dear Doss:

I agree 100% on this point.

No one is conceivably so proud and arrogant as to interpose
themselves between H.P.B. and the Masters who brought us
THEOSOPHY the SANTANA DHARMA -- the eternal doctrine -

Those who believe this have not studied the ORIGINALS thoroughly
or made the necessary correlations that anyone can make. They
are in a hurry and apparently seek to draw in others who want a
"Quick way" to SPIRITUAL WISDOM.

The only way we can calm and pacify our intermediate PSYCHIC
nature (fueled by Kama - desires and passions) is by
universalizing and impersonalizing our views - and this means to
change and also to purify all our motives.

There has been a current ongoing research on CONSCIOUSNESS and a
number of interesting things have emerged.

Who and what is the 'WE" that directs and channels the MIND ?
How is this to be done? What is the Goal we ought to seek? How
and why do we make choices? How does Karma attach itself to us
through our choices?

Best wishes,

Dallas

I beg to differ on this issue. It is the right of everyone of us
to put
forward what our understanding of the facts presented in the
original works
of HPB and others. When the question of "correction" or "editing"
for what
ever reason comes up, how are we sure that the editing is
improving the
understanding. It is not unlike an world reknowned Professor of
English
trying to edit Shakespeare's plays to improve them. It is in the
best
interests of everyone to leave the originals intact and not
tamper with them.

Hi all,
I have been told the story that Boris edited so many terms
because he has
had good reason to do so. A higher chela can regognize moments
when it is
necessary to reveil more then to unveil. Perhaps Boris has seen
that the
theosophical philosophy is on the descending arc and becomes
more and more
corrupt. Then someone who feels his duty could come to a
situation where he
decides to keep the teachings clean before the unwise.
Could that be an explanation?
