Theos-Talk Archives (September 2004 Message tt00751)

Hello Pedro,

Although some may accuse you of sending this post to divert attention away 
from the really important theosophical issues like whether or not Leadbeater 
told a lie, I personally appreciate your attempts to refocus. My heart 
aches to read the truth you describe below. This world is filled with 
opportunities for us to theos-do something, but too often we (myself very 
much included) fall back upon theos-talktalktalk.

I do not have an answer. Erica's recent post expresses my heart-felt views.

I wonder what we would be capable of DOING if theosophy were the living 
force within us, to which we had surrendered completely, instead of a 
collection of words lying cold and dormant in our books?

To excuse our refusal to act or even to TRY with the notion, "suffering is 
their karmic due" is becoming less and less acceptable to me.

regards,

Bill
