Theos-Talk Archives (March 2004 Message tt00088)

Hi
It is sad.
I joined this group 2 years ago in order to learn a littīle more and share views but what I truly found here was nothing but too few people with humbleness and compassion, esteem, but a great majority, by the messages posted recently, such as Arielīs,( and others), with whom I had the tragic experience of exchanging a few posts about meditation- where arrogance is a constant and estimableness is a rare quality.
Why does it happens?
We sometimes proudly say we are theosophists or students of the occult but it seems that all the wisdom obtained by reading that enters through oneīs right ear, steps out by the left one!!!!!!
Although I have much consideration for Daniel and many others from the group, I sometimes think the Group is not used to share and grow but to show-off a knowlege many donīt have, to inflate their egos.
Something seems like a lot of pseudo scientists who forget their necessity of this incarnation to get a bit more mature spiritually speaking.
Many repudiate religious concepts, considering hypocrisy, but tenderness and friendliness is important, no matter if we are in front of a CRT screen or a flesh and blood person
I gess we should stop for a while and think.

It is a well-worn ploy to quote from unnamed sources who write privately yet
are fully informed of the goings on here at theos-talk. I wonder if you
asked Paul's permission before you made his private comments public?

Probably not.

Neither you nor Leon have gained the complete understanding of meditation.
This is evidenced throughout your writings by your overpowering,
self-inflating ego stomping around in cyberspace like a blind elephant in
our living room.
