Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt00493)

Dear Mark
Although I enjoy your postings, I am struggling with the concept that you have "a disciple". In a theosophical forum this means, generally, that you are an initiated Master.

My disciple is somewhat eager to progress through occultism and I'm
trying to get her to maintain some self-control. I know that when I
began my training in occultism I had set rules for myself to ensure
that I never did anything stupid.

I think of most Masters as having a good sense of humor, and they tend
to use occultism as not only a tool, but a way to make people look
back and laugh. If you've read about some of the Adepts encounters,
you'll know what I mean.

Seeing how lax they are conforts me. "All work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy"
