Erica: The last message was sent by me, if you took it
personnal what can I do.

Erica: Okay, but personally I don't believe in God...
Let's say every human is coming from the "Eternal
Breath" it's more poetical :)

Erica: Life makes us to face lot's of suffering,
loses,
disappointments etc. Who have the right to judge that
someone has to suffer to learn a lesson? Critics and
censure are normal human reactions. The problem is
when they are made towards things that have no
fundament.

Erica: So do you believe that to be a "rufiano" or
ironic is a way to help others? 

> Those who donīt wish to be helped cannot be helped. 

Erica: 100% agreed

Erica: Agreed. So may be a way to start helping us, is
to stop to be ironic towards the ones that are weak.

according to gospel, said to turn the other side of
the face He didnīt mean to act like a fool and accept
every injury or slander.

Erica: Real injury and real offense.

Erica: And who is accepting every word as granted?
Actually this is the only thing you can't find between
students of theosophy. They are all the time within
an "arena" of debates. This is really great!

> We do not grow in spirituality letting others
> prejudicing us. > It is not compassion.

Erica: Who is prejudicing us? Someone that wrote that
is going to dennounce I don't know whom to the FBI?
Don't you know dear that the FBI they have more things
to do than to get worried about the Theosophical seal?
Don't you think in your logic mind that they have more
important things to worry about? There are some online
tests to avaliate how shallow someone might be...
Would like the addresses? 
(As you see to be irony it's not something pleasant)

with love,

Erica Letzerich
