Theos-Talk Archives (August 2001 Message tt00077)

We must all acknowledge that each of us experiences the phenomena 
presented to us in our own way. In much the same way that a vase of 
flowers on a table might be surrounded by one hundred mirrors, each 
relecting the vase of flowers but slightly differently. Each position 
is unique but in no way takes anything away from the other. All 
mirrors have the same nature in that they all reflect anything that 
arises.

Frank is to be commended for the energy he has put forth to engage my 
questions and comments. That is a gift. It is theosophy in action, 
the intent to benefit mankind.

The study of what HPB has brought forth with her writings and the 
wonderful intrigue of the Masters and the inner group really serve to 
whet the appetite. But alas, it is like reading a wonderful bunch of 
recipes and standing in front of a bountious banquet table prepared 
with every imaginable sensual delight. If one does not step up to the 
table and taste the treasures they will have missed the point.
Is there an appetite? Consider HPB's words from the SD, "the 
traditional methods of teaching, generally followed, aim at 
impressing every fresh idea on the memory by provoking the perplexity 
it at last relieves." p.162 TSD V1 TUP

Kindly consider these words.

Thank you.
