Re: Theos-World Bad Karma plus immoral plus ignorant

Hello wry-

I have had good luck explaining to my daughter that all who give to others around that period of time dedicated to the great Light Bringers (oh-11/17 to 12/25 or so) are doing the work of Santa Cause. Believe me, I have felt as if I am off of the proverbial hook and actually as if I have said something to her that was useful. So, there is and there is not a Santa Clause in my book. 

It has always been a source of amusement to me to watch a Miracle on 34th Street at this time of year, and see the Court being forced to admit the existence of Santa Clause, because the federal government has to. This based in the mail at the Post office to Santa Clause (as the story goes). I work for the Government so I therefore have to believe. 

Besides, It is motive that determines karma, so let the "chips fall where they may" as long as hearts are in the right place. 

What aught to be explaining away is the relationship of Christmas belonging to the Church. I would love to see its reattachment to the Winter solstice as the central celestial occurrence which marks the return of the Son and the sun back to the Western Hemisphere. This kind of thinking allows the Light bringers (Mahatmas) back into humanity at large as represented by the sun and marked by the "longer and longer" days.

Just some ideas-Steve L.

Subject: Theos-World Bad Karma plus immoral plus ignorant

To whom this may concern: Is it or is it not bad karma, immoral and ignorant to tell a young child there is no Santa Claus? Is it valuable and important and natural for this child to believe in the existence of Santa Claus? Moreover, IS there a Santa Claus, and are there really elves and fairies? Everyone who is really anyone knows the answer to this one.

Moreover, are there actually masters, both living and "dead" (who are still alive)? I, personally, who have done much experimentation with the occult, am here to suggest that It is perhaps both bad karma and even dangerous to pursue this line of questioning of Madame Blavatsky and the so-called derivation of the masters any further, as, in respect to this, the die is already cast. Perhaps the physical universe is constructed in such a way as to offer an explanation for the "masters" that is both miraculous and also mundane

Remember to sprinkle everything with just a little bity of salt, not too much and not too little. This has more to do with bread making than with magic. With this in mind, we can get down to the five- minutes -at-a-time Work of mastering a situation which is most problematic, life on earth, in such a way that something within is raised gently to heaven without losing touch with both the phytsical earth and also an inner earth or ground.

If you sense or feel a master by your side as you are going about your day and attempting to make a certain bread, keep your mind on your hands kneading the dough and do not worry about the masters or not-masters. In this way, simple daily activities will take on a greater significance and everything will assume a shape that is already its own star, Home. Wry
