Theos-Talk Archives (August 2004 Message tt00567)

I can appreciate what you say, Bart, and would like to add that at 
least the early Theosophists were opposed to immunizations such as 
Dr. Jonas Salk found for polio. I still get tetanus shots and other 
immunizations as needed and that doesn't seem to reflect adversely on 
my being a Buddhist-Theosophist or not. However, I still refuse to 
ever use a OuiJa Board or to be hypnotised as was recommended by HPB 
and the early Theosophists. We don't need to be Christian 
Scientists, for god's sake, but we do need to be aware of what is 
valuable and what is dangerous. Theosophits should be the most open-
minded people alive, but we never need to ditch scepticism or our 
critical faculties.
