I was replying to Morten's statement:

"The Arcane School if it was (and is) a real School of
Wisdom will because of
the laws of Karma have to
drop certain (and not "all" - Bailey didn't say "all")
emotional aspirants
and other persons, who wouldn't or
will not fit the pattern."

I was referring to Karma, not Dharma. Even a cursory
reading of the Mahatma Letters shows that their
philosophy cannot be understood in terms of Newtonian
physics. If the universal laws emanate from a Source
described as Sat, Chit, Ananda, which can be roughly
translated as Boundless Existence, Universal
Intelligence and Absolute Bliss, there may be nothing
"cold" about them. It is interesting that those who
have become one with the Law are the most
compassionate and the most wise among human beings.
That is true, but I think you put the cart before the horse. Imo, it is their very innate compassion/Love-Wisdom that allows them to master and overcome the law, rather than the other way round.


And is it not compassionate a Law that returns to you
the quality of your very action, though and feeling,
as well as motive, so that you can learn to look at
yourself, heal your mind from the age-old disease of
separateness and become another beneficent force in
Nature?
I think not, since for ageless eons, we have committed actions, thoughts, feelings without any sense of self or direction or learning. We were products of the Law under the Law, to paraphrase someone, maybe Paul. The Law is never compassionate, nor beneficient. It is merely the Law. The Way things are is not the Way.

But, I may be wrong, although I have hardly any hair
left to split.
lol! I'm sure it was compassionately sacrificed!

fraternal regards,

Pedro
