Yes. You are quite right Paul.
Yes. Atma=Brahman And Brahman is still omnipresent while you read this.

Subject: Theos-World Finger pointing (reply to Morten)




Hi Sufilight,

You must be reading my mind or vice-versa :) because I was just thinking that deploring other people's interest in a subject is a way of having one's caking and eating it too. That is, focusing on the same topic while posturing as if above it all. Which reminds me of the line about one finger pointing at someone else while the rest of the fingers point back at oneself.

Not that I question anyone's sincerity about wishing that the subject would be dropped. But there is something so blatantly counterproductive about *expressing* that wish ("don't picture a pink elephant!") that one must wonder about the deeper dynamics. The meme "CWL's misdeeds are of huge importance" gets spread just as effectively by Radha's dogmatic denials as by Perry's questioning. The meme doesn't care how it is spread or by whom.

Resistance can sometimes only feed what is being resisted. For example, no one here much seems interested in HPB's sex life, was she Yuri's mother and if so who was the father, was the Betanelly marriage one of passion as suggested by Meade, etc. But if people started loudly insisting that IT IS NOT IMPORTANT AND NO ONE OUGHT TO BE DISCUSSING IT SO STOP SAYING THAT you can be sure it would become as absorbing as the CWL topic has been.

Except of course for the fact that whatever HPB did or did not do in her youth caused no harm to the Theosophical movement, whereas the harm done by CWL has been vividly apparent for almost 100 years now.
