Theos-Talk Archives (February 2005 Message tt00684)

Dear Cass,

I would like to see the quote in its original context before I would be 
able to comment upon it. What is the source of the quote?

More important than understanding about Dugpas and Gelupkas is getting 
back to the fact that there are good people, evil people, and all shades 
in between. Dugpas and Gelupkas; good and evil people, are just two 
different ways of talking about the same dynamic while most of us sit 
somewhere between the two extremes.

I like your saying about ostriches, because evil people love ostriches 
who stick their heads in the ground. The problem is, in the long run, 
those ostriches are going to have a lot more than a sore butt to cry over. 

Evil people create themselves by doing evil things inspired by their 
lower nature: selfishness, greed, hatred etc. Good people create 
themselves by doing things inspired by their higher nature: altruism, 
selflessness, love etc. Which nature is more attractive to you? Most 
of us do a little of each. But, over a long period of time we all have 
to ultimately and unerringly gravitate to one pole or the other. Then, 
there are those future incarnations.... We move toward infinity one 
step at a time. 

Best,
Jerry
