Re: GOD -- is DEITY UNIVERSAL or NOT ?

Dear M:

Regardless of religion, politics, government or nationality, etc... one
feels impelled to assist in such cases. Our heart is appealed to. 

But what do we know, when such large amounts are involved, about any
local efforts made to assist? It is strange to find those spoken of so
openly? What can the purpose be? I suspect such things. We have no
special understanding of the circumstances, and are so far away. Is it
our Karma?

But unfortunately the Internet and e-mail exchanges have been full, for
the past 2 or so years, with many similar, vague appeals. There is no
way of determining what to do -- we are NOT on the scene.

I therefore let the applicants work out their own affairs and do not
meddle with them. 

Also I am not inclined to meddle with any kind of sectarian affairs. If
anything I try to find some way of uniting all these various aspects of
"separation." If we eliminate the divisions we are more likely to find
the underlying unity of BROTHERHOOD. 

Sorry if this seems to be of little help.

Best wishes,

Dallas

PS: 

NOTE: I am not a "christian" except in the one sense that I respect
and honor the moral statements made by Jesus/and/or any other gerat
Teacher. 

Remember the motto of the original THEOSOPHICAL MOVEMENT :

THERE IS NO RELIGON HIGHER THAN TRUTH.

It is important to note that none of the great ancient "teachers" ever
proclaimed themselves as other than "reformers" ("prophets") of the
existing religious creeds which had become distorted by the "authority"
of the sucessive "priests" who had pledged to support them from a far
earlier period. We have in all relgious groups: priests, padres,
fakirs, mullahs, shastris, shamans, maulvis, dikshitas, "sages," -- and
others who claim (more or less) "divine" authority. Some also claim to
be "divinely inspired," or are, occasionally, "spoken to by GOD." (!!!!
???) You have probably found that most of these cherish their small
trove of konwedge and defend it. Few are those who admit they only
kinow a part of the truth and invuite others to search and find the
rest, along with them. The true stuation is : We are all
pupil/teachers. We learn, study, test, apply and then pass on what we
have learned to others to verify. We need not be "protective" about our
small findings. If we are wise, we ask others to make sure they are
correct and to let us know. That is the "path" of THEOSOPHY 

My chief and main quesiton always is: Are we given all the facts -- so
that our unprejudiced minds can mediate on, and logically disentangle
the web of confusion? If not, are we then being baited to deterine the
extent of our being only "curious?" In any case, is it our Karma? Is
our "curiosity" useful? If so, to wihom?

It is those ("authorities," who have claimed the "right to guide" in the
past) who adopted and then instigated, or, demanded of others that they
become "followersd" of their kind of a reform -- who eventually laid
down hard and fast EXOTERIC rules of prayers, rites, ceremonies, and
behgaviour -- and then tried to make their chjildren, communities,
friends, families and successors follow those visible rites and rules. 

I always suspect things for which adequate informaiton is not fully
given. Or, if one is forbidden to ask and inquire. 

TRUTH always invites search and inquiry. This is its most important
advertisment. It is important to note that no one can "police"
another's THOUGHTS and FEELINGS. 

In other words each of us is entirely "on our own" in making decisions.
No religious creed and no priesthood can ever take upon themselves the
KARMA generated by other persons. Our "voice of Conscience" makes us
responsible to the "ray"of the ONE GOD who is WITHIN ourselves -- inall
of us. After all, GOD is for one and all without exception, or am I
wrong?

Let me offer this:

Is not GOD present everywhere?

Are not the rules of harmony the rules and laws of GID ?

Then if people are allowed by GOD to live and exist and adopt other
ruoes and regualtions than ours , it is still the ONE GOD who has
allowed and provid3d for that.

If so, then who or what group of perons can legitimately take it on
themsleves to try to tyrannise or victimize others? Let GOD make those
decisions. 

Is it not sufficient for us to live a fine, brotherly and compassionate
life, and to always help others? 

Best wishes,

Dallas
