Theos-Talk Archives (July 2003 Message tt00081)

Hi all of you,


My views are only views:

Respect

"Respect the conscience of others and never impose on them, even the truth. Break not forcibly the yoke of slaves who love their yoke. Be devoted always, never too zealous. If souls rejoice in their folly, it is cruel to deprive them of it without restoration of their reason. We must have patience; we must leave the faquir to his chains, and the old world to its idols; waiting til all this shall end of itself. Lose not time in denouncing the darkness with vain discourses; make the light shine, but let it not be the light of a consuming torch. Overthrow not, therefore, the statue of Jupiter. Philosopher, respect relics if you wish not your books to be burned. The light shines for all men coming into the world; but all have the right to open or shut their eyes as may please them."

I am now giving a hint to some of you - about a certain author.
I do this now, because I find a cycle to be closed.

And now I present a so ever important missing author and teacher:

Try to read:
"The Sufis"
"The Way of The Sufis"
"The Commanding Self" ( The Lower Self !!!)
"The Dermis Probe" (ie. 'The Elephant with the many shapes' >:-)
and others from the same author named --- Idries Shah (appearntly died 1996).

"The People of the Secret" by Ernest Scott
(This book mentiones the Masters and Blavatsky, and supports their existence. - Although a trifle critical, the book is quite interesting. I covers the influence the Middle East has had on the West during the centuries since Christ. This book also mentions the KHwajagan sufis - those from which The Naqshbandi Order originates.)

But some of you knew all this already ?



To the readers: - I do care...do you...?


from
M. Sufilight with peace and love...
