Theos-Talk Archives (July 2001 Message tt00389)

Louis:
who are newly awakened, is not being violated here. If we continue to
belabor
the PERCEPTUAL DIFFERENCES of organizational theosophy, when do we find time
to serve one another with the evolving, LIVING theosophy, of today.

Frank:
For a Theosophist there is NO distinction between word and action.
If you want to play ostrich and live further on with LIES (if you admit that
only one version can be true) then you are free to do so.
But to new students it would be shameful to play further on the good
Theosophist and at
the same time suppress the truth - which is not LIVING, but KILLING
Theosophy.
The TS was started to fight for the truth and not for the peace of misleaded
students.
A student who loves the truth and acts unpersonally researches in all
directions and considers all facts, even if they might contradict its own
views.
To play ostrich in historical matters (which of course do affect the
present) means not only prevent newbies from the truth, it is also a sigh of
selfishness.

Louis:
Can we really afford to loose a single, true seeker whose awakening spirit
has been drawn to the magnetic center of esoteric studies?

Frank:
No we can't afford it. That is the reason why we have just right now the
discussion to find out the truth. As long there is no TRUTH among
Theosophists as long there will be only attraction to the weak ones, to
neurotics etc. But the Theosophical Movement has no need for such people, at
least in any position as it is the aim of the TS to create a new culture and
a new civilization. That can only be done with strong people, with will,
power, discrimination and compassion, not with weak, sentimental psychics.

Louis:
Perhaps another list needs to be started that clearly states, it deals only
with the BATTLEGROUND ISSUES OF HISTORICAL THEOSOPHY! Could be very popular
indeed.

Frank:
Perhaps with an ULT member as "moderator"??
I don't think so. This list is quite right for any discussion.
Perhaps you don't understand it, but although we are talking about matters
long years back they are nevertheless matters of the PRESENT as the problems
are still unsolved.
And, seriously: How can I trust in any person or organization of TODAY of
which I have proofs that they lied in the past to the public and to its
members?
To my humble opinion it is time for tabula rasa.
We Theosophists should be strong enough to solve our problems for ourselves,
otherwise there will come third parties taking over our job. Is it that what
you want? Surely not.
The ULT'ers are invited to live Theosophy - as you say - and lay the truth
on the table.
This is the only way a progress of the Theosophical Movement can have any
success.
The ostrich policy gives perhaps some peace for weak souls, but it is the
death blow for Theosophy.
