Theos-Talk Archives (January 2004 Message tt00150)

Just to be fair. Bullshit and flapdoodle are essentially the same. Do you
not disagree? Also by using the more vulgar term "bullshit" Bart gave each
of us an opportunity to accept his judgment in silence if we wanted to
extend our compassion far enough and wide enough to include people who use
words like "bullshit. If we had all chosen to remain compassionately
silent, Bart's flapdoodle would have passed away.

To your list of ways to compassionately conduct ones affairs on these lists
I would add: It is better to be silent than to cast implications on
another's compassion.

Follow your own advice.

comes forth from the non-physical heart center and grows up

Spiritual thoughts comes from the heart of compassion.

silence.

senses.

> Talk with sweet and soft voice also while emailing at a forum.
> Never fall so low as to 'scream' at another person while emailing at a
forum.
> Never use tough words, which might lower the general atmosphere among the
forums readers - that is if you email at a forum.
> At least seek to avoid doing so.
> Always seek to help, never hurt. If you can't help then at least avoid
hurting. Or be silent.
> Misunderstandings can happen especially at a place like this where many
people from various cultures and countries meet - and we all know that.
> Misunderstandings we can relate to and work with.

> The following might helpful to add.
> Blavatsky writes the following in the book called "The Key to Theosophy"
chapter 12:
> "It is this very law of Karma which gives strength to all that I have
said. The individual cannot separate himself from the race, nor the race
from the individual. The law of Karma applies equally to all, although all
are not equally developed. In helping on the development of others, the
Theosophist believes that he is not only helping them to fulfil their Karma,
but that he is also, in the strictest sense, fulfilling his own. It is the
development of humanity, of which both he and they are integral parts, that
he has always in view, and he knows that any failure on his part to respond
to the highest within him retards not only himself but all, in their
progressive march. By his actions, he can make it either more difficult or
more easy for humanity to attain the next higher plane of being." (This is
to those whom the Law of Karma as importance.)

on the top can make it all easier to the readers.)

> --- To put it shortly. What was important was the following: Netemara said
about Blavatsky's relation to Bailey could be the truth. But it could also
be a lie. Can we ever really proove this at this forum ? But we could throw
some views around so to get closer to reality. But maybe "Bullshit" is
closer to reality to you ? - I just ask. ---
