Theos-Talk Archives (December 2002 Message tt00165)

Steve-I think this response is very thoughtful. In the midst of all of the 
garbage and general asbuse being steeped upon fellow Theosophists by fellow 
Theosophists on this talk group (just for today December 2, 2002) your 
response is much appreciated.

I don't know if you all realize it or not but the abusive language and mean 
attitudes in those responses charaterized as such, must be simlarly as 
kamically dangerous as the things those individuals participated in at the 
turn of last century after H.P.B. and Judge had left the scene. There is no 
doubt in my mind that other contentious individuals looking for a place to 
practice will be attracted to this site just as elementaries are attracted 
to the passive living and kama rupas of the recently past.

Let the past die, as we all must personally do. Let us pay attention to the 
present Theosophical out-pouring so that those who are new to Theosophy 
might enjoy it and quench the thirst they have for the relighting of their 
manas.

This all may sound presumptious, but I have to tell you it gets awfully 
tiresome having to ignore nearly 3/4s of the responses I get daily. But 
rather than leave this site I thought I would say something.-Steven Levey
