Theos-Talk Archives (February 2005 Message tt00678)

Jerry,
Thanks for your comments and explanations, they are appreciated. I guess 
in terms of what you consider and important element, and I am in no way saying 
it is not, much if not the greater bulk of Madame Blavatskys works and a great 
deal of other Theosophical Archive is not useful directly in present reality 
as perceived by all of mankinds people as tool with which to interact to ones 
dierect environment. Mayhaps your friend also saw Rock Hudson in the movie 
The Martian Chronicles. There is a whole cult that advocates Richard Hoaglands 
book on the Monuments of Mars (the Face on the Plain of Sedona). And many other 
involvements in a wide spectrum of interests that provide a diversion from 
the druggery of life and boredom.
One reason I belong to this Forum is I after many decades find politics 
appaling experientially. I have had minor exposure and find most politicians 
nausiating to be around. Picture Greek Masks held in every hand. I as others 
have regard for the world scenic displays and do manage to obtain a view or 
views on many a topic in the news on a day to day basis. But the activity seems to 
basically culture people to "pick a team" like a sports event, from that 
point on they have no rationality and comsume their team porridge as the golden 
honey of the gods for better or for worse. Their penetration is vacous at best 
and the mean is far worse in my view. The activity earns it's results and in 
todays instantaenous communication the results come faster but not necessarily 
based on wisdom. I never envisioned the study of Madame Blavatsky and the 
Archives of Theosophy as a political education giving me the means to change the 
existent order of things, although perhaps the Mahatma's did think long term 
transformations would occur in terms of the world itself, not necessarily all 
portions together at the same time. As I said in other posts I restrict my 
activity here and do not post political content or respond to those who do although 
I wouldn't have a shortage of responces if I did. We all have our views, and 
my view is poiltics creates very nasty people on forums.

For quite a while now the key term "World Teacher" has been the foci of 
much discussion, but looking at this unique term what exactly when it is 
presented to any one does it cause to be envisioned in the mind of people in general? 
In terms of authenticity to earlier correlates where is found a world that is 
totally transformed? I see only proportions that are changed for a season and 
a time and no all-inclusive event accepted into all in any given instance. I 
don't subscribe to Utopian theory myself.
I think personally drugs enter into the equation due to the wide use today 
practically every where. I have noted friends I have who use pot on a regular 
basis and almost never recall what was told to them even a short time later, 
I also see changees in the rationalization processes and judgemental 
ratcionation ability along with persecution worries that seem very much amplified and 
in general result in anti-social sentiments particularily against the existing 
establishment accompanied with a willingness to participate in redress of 
every thing under the sun socially. Politicians take advantage of the knowledge of 
the effects and media also. Self Determination of the Being is the ideal 
scene and only when it is truely that with all the attributes and marks that 
distinguish it as such. Until man changes one by one towards that arrival in 
significant percentiles I think we just have to muddle along making the best of it 
and discerning as best we can each as we can. Monolithic recipes are not the 
apparent answer as far as I can detect. The World Teacher/Leader/Father/Other 
Determination is reflection of the paradox itself and responce correlated 
internally to a desire to return to Native State of Being and Original Nature using 
the "via" of "another" to rescue and restore as the success formula, this in 
and of itself invalidates the one that desires to self restore. 
Transliterations of the same are externalized and become the engine of many distractions 
found in the world.

I'm sure this open and candid post will have fast karma reppy here,lol.

My best regards Jerry,

John
