Theos-Talk Archives (August 2002 Message tt00175)

Hi Bart and all,

I agree with Bart here.

In the below I just present a view among many.
My view is:
HPB did her best to present a book just simply to help people, who were interested (or even not interested) in the teachings of what sometimes is called The Ancient Wisdom.
A book is a book (>;-) smiley) and HPB stated that socalled "dead-letter" reading is not the idea with The Ancient Wisdom teachings.
But, some people do only know of one mode of reading - i.e. often their ownintellectual one.
Well it is just a view.

Now, there has since The Secret Doctrine of HPB's been written other books , which offers teachings on wisdom.
1. Depending on the view - some on a lower level of wisdom than the book written by HPB.
2. Others was obvoiusly written to a different audience.
3. And again others were written to suit the tastes of some very disagreeable people.
4. Some books it is a real waste of time to read to some people. But to others the very same books is certainly NOT a waste of time.
5. Others were written to people so, that they due to their present state of development or lack of development of wisdom would treat the book or books like a Bible-Collection or (like soemthing called Collected-Writings). And that even some 100 years past the physical Authors departure from the physical life of ours. 
Some Theosopshist (well they call themselves that), have a tendency in doing this very same thing as mentioned above. 
((Some of them they spend hour after hour reading a more than hundred year old book or book-collection - thinking, that the reading of the SAME book or book-collection will move their minds - even if the REAL truth behind it all IS, that They need to read other books or other kind of experiences, which the book-reading won't give them.))
6. Others followed or are following a non-sexual or non-tantric pattern - with the wisdom hidden in the teachings.
7. Others followed or are following a sexual or tantric pattern - with the wisdom hidden in the teachings.
8. And again others followed or are following a quite different pattern.

Maybe some at Theos-talk would like to get hold on the (3. ) - third group of books. But, I have to tell - the interested party, that they are difficult to find ! And also difficult to find in physical "bookshops" or "libraries" ! 
(Not every "bookshop" or "library" is physical ! >:-) ).

Is is not always so important whether one agree's or disagree's on an issue. It is often also important how one reacts to an email or a letter - or even others 'inputs' in ones daily life.

LOVE is all you need...Love is all you need...Love...
