Theos-Talk Archives (January 2004 Message tt00009)

And hello to you, sufilight, and everyone else.

Yes, we each do what we do --'cause that's who we are. ("I yam what I yam 
'cause I am what I yam," said Popey the sailor man.'-) 

And, the "compassion" for doing it should be; the desire to "do unto others 
what we would have them do into us." And that is, to help those of them who 
are "our folks," save themselves from pain and suffering due to ignorance of who 
they are, where they came from, and how they came to be -- (and, hopefully, 
while being so saved, don't stumble over their own feet in their mouths.:-)... 
Like some great scientist/theosophers such as Buddha, HPB, Hermes, Plato, 
Pythagorus, Moses, Yeshuah, Don Juan, and my other teachers (who never put their 
feet in their mouths) have done for me and my folks... And, like a great Sufi 
jokester and those who told his stories (as well as some of those other wise 
ones) did for you and your folks... And, like some other guru's may have done 
for our friends and their folks... (Who are, really, our folks, heading for the 
same end in view on different rays that, surely, one of these days, will meet 
each other along their ways.) 

"Different strokes for different folks" -- as, I said before, paraphrasing 
the Buddha. :-)

And, when we've all found the final way at the juncture of all the paths, 
that'll be the time for silence... (After, perhaps, a heart felt, "thank you.")

So, thank you,

On that note, let us all have a Happy New Year, learning new things, as we 
ramble along our different paths (that, hopefully, all point in the same 
direction).

One of the student-teachers/darwish's/rebbes/guru-jis/outlaws/Nasrudin's -- 
who whirl one way, while the world spins the other way. 
(Which also, of course, has nothing to do with any leading politicians...and 
the like.) ... </;>)>
