Theos-Talk Archives (October 2004 Message tt00101)

Then Blavatsky was guilty of doing something wrong
on many accounts - is this not true Anand?
(Do you need me to email some examples - before you are convinced?)

My theosophical view is:
If it is you experience, that someone is doing something wrong.
Should you then not seek to help that individual - even if others who
are filled with prejudice go and say that you are - criticizing, shame on
you???
Or similar.

Anand asked:
"Are discussion groups formed to discuss principles of Theosophy or
criticizing leaders of other organizations."

I would theosophically speaking say both - if the critic being
given are motivated by compassion to help that individual or other
individuals, who
connected with the situation one way or the other.
Without a critical stance towards any teaching - and by just absorbing
anything being presented to one self, - one is most likely at risk of being
indorctrinated or as some would say - brainwashed into false glamourous
views.

My view is, that the promotion of author with a dubious reputation -
is not theosophical - unless the dubious repuation are refuted.

The problem as I see it is:
When is one making a critic out of ill will and when is it motivated
by compassion. Those who are not aware of the facts - but
only assumes that they are - should better hold their tounge where it
belongs.

May I ask a question:
What stance has TS Adyar today on masutbation practises
among the young theosophists and the leaders?
