Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt00547)

Dear Barbara,

You bring up a good point. It is useful too to remember that two 
diametrically opposed points of view can both reflect truth. It 's 
all a matter of perspective, and respect, treating others as we would 
like to be treated. When conversing with those who may be opposed to 
theosophical principles (usually through ignorance) it is helpful to 
find the things we have in common. It isn't necessary to stress what 
appears to be different in two belief systems. Theosophy covers all 
and emphasizing the shared basis is sometimes helpful.
