Theos-Talk Archives (January 2005 Message tt00294)

Hallo Cass and all,

My views are:

Cass wrote:
"I define child abuse as an adult male masturbating prepubescent boys on the 
grounds that it was better for their spiritual development."

My view:
I can agree upon that - when the child later honestly expresses that it felt 
it to be wrong.
I say this, because as far as I know - it is so that certain persons has a 
strange set-up
in the aura where such an activitiy could be helpful. But it is almost never 
helpful to do what CWL admitted he had done (according to known online 
documents on the Internet) even in these days.

Well allright.
I will add: I just know, that I will not claim that CWL hasn't damaged the 
Theosophical cause because of his activities. I think I and others easily 
can live without CWL's books and the atmosphere surrounding them because of 
his activities while promoting honest
and compassionate Theosophy to the theosophical beginners or beginner 
Seekers.
Well compassionate is compassionate.

(To Bart: I have noted you reply on the issue. And I agree with Cass' later 
reply.)

M. Sufilight with peace and love...
