Theos-Talk Archives (December 2002 Message tt00408)

I read a book years ago called TALK DOES NOT COOK THE RICE (which is 
true - I've tried vooking rice with talk and it does not work.) The 
author is listed as "Guru RHH" which turns out in fact to have been 
an expatriate Englishman named Ralph Gouston, now deceased. He in 
turn was a disciple of NicolasTerich, who was a Theosophist and who 
claimed to have made contact with Morya while he was in Tibet. That 
he was in Tibet and painted some rather amateurish paintings of the 
coutryside is a fact. Rather than call what he came back with 
Theosophy he called it Agni Yoga, which established a clear line of 
demarcation, so he is not technically a neo-Theosophist.

Anyway, TALK is a collection of transcripts from Houston's talks 
which aren simetimes quite amusing (he had some preposterous ideas) 
but which are also sometimes quite thought provoking. One of his 
ideas was that if you allow your body to be used for scrap after you 
are gone, the karmic effect will be weakness in the harvested organ. 
I think the example he gave was someone's corneas being harvested and 
that person having weak eyes in the next incarnation. Someone whose 
whole body was used for scrap would be in a hell of a mess the next 
time around.

The Theosophical theory that applies here is rawtha confusing to me, 
but I think he may have a point. What do the folks who complain 
about tis conversation being too dumb think? Was Houston's point in 
his argument or on the top of his head?

Me, I think if I ever decide to die I will get cremated.
