Theos-Talk Archives (December 2001 Message tt00467)

Dear Bill:

Personally I would want no "worshipers," children or otherwise.

As to sincerity, each one of us knows exactly where he stands and
does not have to reveal that to any one but his inner conscience.

So I am not particularly interested in individuals unless they
study Nature and seek to assist her.

If I had children, relatives, brothers, family, sisters and
parents -- all of which I do, then I would rather consider the
whole world as mine -- that is why I admire Tom Paine who, at a
crucial juncture said: " The World is my country. To do good is
my religion."

I would expect them to be independent and if they had to worship
anything, then the universal SPIRIT of which each has a ray
inherent and innate in them is to be worshiped by the practice of
sincerity, honesty and whatever other virtues that are convinced
of. Our problem is that we try to over classify persons and then
we make of them(mentally) strangers, and when annoyed we look on
them as enemies or strangers to be mistrusted.

Fortunately the bright light of Universal TRUTH does away with
all those shadows. The problem we he have to proximately deal
with is the shadow mind we all have which slips and tries to
claim our existence depends on defense and offense. And that I
hold is untrue. If we seek to help each other we will have
plenty of good work to do.

Thanks for your note It is good to make sure of things.

What bothers me the most is that I find we are being diverted to
consider a scavenger's set of reports. And I say that if we all
raise our eyesight out of the lower depths, and consider the good
available, we will have plenty of constructive work to do in the
time saved.

So lets get positive and stop being negative -- especially if the
negative is an illusion.

they want on this list - on the issue Theosophy - as long as they
are
sincerely interested in knowing about, what Theosophy is - and
what it
possibly could have to offer. Or if they have questions to ask -
etc.

How can you possibly know which of us are "sincerely interested"
and which
of us are just insincerely interested? Who is pulling whose
chain here?
What do you propose to do with those you judge to be insincere?

theosophically speaking are limited in their view on truth as
such - when
talking about 'emails' etc.

Excellent thought! Let us also remember that those who worship
at the
alter of Theosophy worship just the same. Do you have children?
Is it
your heartfelt desire that they worship you? Where else can we
look for
answers?

Sufilight, when I read what you offer, the word humble does not
come to my
mind. Do you want to know which word does? Or does it matter?
