Yeah... Krishtar...
I would also add:
I find it much more a question about what kind of promotion of Theosophical
teaching
or books one compassionately would suggest.
Where do we draw the line or is there a line ? And who created it ?
And do we follow it and why ?
To confuse this debate as being an ongoing attack on the personality C. W.
Leadbeater
is not healthy and true. It is not so much the person I and others are
concerned with
as the actual manner certain people or so-called (hardcore) theosophists
relates to this persons literary outlets, activities and the atmosphere of
romours emanating from this personality - when viewed in a general manner.

Agreed, controversy generates controversy, all this discussion about the
sexuality of a man who is not alive to defend himself could be sustituted
for a true exchange not only experiences but also to learn more from those
who are a bit advanced in the studies.
People learn from many sources and the important is not the quantity or the
sources of information which we can assimilate but how much of it we can use
and transform into wisdom.
One important topic and perhaps the most important in any philosophical or
theosophical is the meditation, not the meditation taught under
sensacionalism and exotic techniques but the simplest of all, which is the
sanzen which is to sit and meditate.
We have to stop all this talking inside and ouside of us, the more we feed
ourselves with a multiple set of definitions, prejudices, gossips and
controversies the more weŽll find hard to meditate.
If we canŽt stop for a while and stop generating so many thoughts we can
never hear our inner silence and what our real being is.
There is no use on knowing so many dates, data, episodes, gossips and those
endless someone-told-me-thats or even those tiring cut and pastes from
everywhere.
We have a giant, huge amount of information in books, in the net, but what
we do with it all?
In what level all this we are processing to become a better person or how
good is the evolution it brings us?
We know a lot, many are chiefs of schools and cultural movements and
fraternities but we are still arrogant and competitive.
Once Eldon wrote that we must never forget we are persons, even in front of
a PC, but we are persons and the high amount of emails here could be quite
more educative.
Many of us write about subjects never put into practise, just theories or
something a man once wrote, so we should be more honest and ask help, trade
ideas without labels or prejudices.

Dear Friends,
I don't understand, why we are doing research on C.W.Leadbeater so deeply
that it has all spread filth all over. Why can't we dump Leadbeater and
talk
about some thing more theosophical? We can talk about Astral Body, Yoga,
Meditation. Extra-Sensory Perception, Problems of Modern Society and TS
can
help.
Sincerely Yours
...Kamal-S-Rajput...
