Hi Theresa,

I always enjoy your wit and lightheartedness. But I wonder if maybe 
you are looking at a darker side now? The opinions expressed, to 
which you take exception (your right, btw) were expressed by a very 
staunch and reliable theosophist, one who practices what he preaches 
in every way. That's the point, imho. It's not so important what we 
say (words are so unreliable after all) but what we do, how we live, 
who we actually are, that matters. Theosophy gives us lots of 
guidelines about how to live right, and if these guidelines strike a 
chord in our hearts, and we keep trying to follow them in our daily 
lives, regardless of our opinions, that is what it's all about. We 
can afford to forgive each other our weaknesses and failures, since 
we all make them ourselves. It's not "them and us," but all "us."

All the best,
Adelasie
