Theos-Talk Archives (January 2005 Message tt00347)

Dear Bill, 
you said

Personally, I see great similarity between the belief dynamic of a 
theosophist and a christian when it comes to describing an outer 
master.

I say,
The Christians WC (with Christ) had a living, breathing, walking, talking, miracle making man in a human body, who gave instructions on how to be good at being a man. We on the other hand are groping around in the dark hoping that Perfected Men are out there taking care of our souls and our planet,waiting for signs of their existence to prove our belief in them is grounded in fact not fantasy.
HPB says believe nothing, including the SD until you can prove it for yourself, I am basing my belief in the Masters on her word, and on the belief that there is a higher intelligence out there than mine.

My comments was a joke, of course. Sometimes the little emoticon works and 
sometimes not.

But, are you saying that the Master's were perfect in allowing CWL to 
flourish? By asking questions we will learn the masters wisdom in this 
case?



The theosophical masters select certain people or groups of people to show 
favoritism and special considerations. The theosophical masters (or their 
chiefs) or their chohan actually control the universe through unswerving 
application of The Law.
The master's say they don't want you to adore them and worship them yet they 
tolerate and even encourage worshipful behavior from theosophists. Why do 
theosophists, even on this list, capitalize Master and Him when referring to 
one of them? It is a worshipful reverence that would be squashed by a true 
master. Those individuals that we might describe as perfected men are our 
brothers not our gods. That it is we with our limited intellect and even 
more limited vision who are daring to judge the perfect being of another 
says volumes about our psychological needs.

Personally, I see great similarity between the belief dynamic of a 
theosophist and a christian when it comes to describing an outer master.
