Theos-Talk Archives (December 2001 Message tt00367)

Hi - to all of you,

I offer the following - to help generally.

To all of you - try this:

Propaganda:
All propaganda, religious or secular, is generally built on a narrow factual base. This is one reason why all propagandists resist the broadening of contexts as much as they do any direct opposition to their activities.
It may only be a coincidence that it was the wife of another Bishop who, informed of Darwin's theory, said, 'Let us pray that it is untrue. Or, if true, that it is not believed.'

To all of you - try this:

Trouble:
There was once a man who fell over a cliff. His clothes caught on the branch of a tree which was growing on the cliff-face. He hung there, halfway down, in imminent danger of falling into a river foaming far below.
The man looked up to the heavens, and called out in his fear:
'Is there anyone up there?'
A voice immediately answered:
'What do you want?'
He replied: 
'Tell me what to do!'
The voice said:
'Let go and fall!'
The man thought for a moment, looked down again, 
and then cried heavenwards:
'Is there - anyone else - up there?
At that point the tree's roots separated themselves from the earth.......

To all of you - try this:

Facts and Historical facts:
Facts are not, what they are assumed to be - and that goes for historical facts too. Facts are only relatively true.
Those who are interested in ultimate truth cannot regard material reality as more than transitory.


Here are some short ones:

Keep bread away from mice - and Theosophy from scholars.

Learn how much knowledge is needed before we can see how ignorant we are.

An old fool is always worse than a young one.
For the young may always grow wise.

Call yourself unlucky if you take up coffin-making 
and people stop dying.

There is a marrow in every bone.
There is a being in every shirt.

Seperations are better than unhappy meetings.



Any Teachers?:
So is there anyone - who is a spiritual teacher at this list?
Who? (You can contact me any way you want.)
