Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt01941)

Seems to me as if "just being" doesn't 
leave much room for anything other than 
"just being," or else how could it be 
"just being"... So Theosophy seems to 
me as if it's basically contradicting 
itself inasmuchas it's seen to promote 
"just being," yet might be seen to leave 
room for "Theosophical modeling," eg. 
But what I like about Theosophy is that 
it hasn't promoted a cult-like, 
black-and-white following after "just 
being" or anything else, having instead 
promoted a kind of "middle way" 
approach, as I tend to see it, by way of 
the Wisdom/Esoteric Tradition. I tend 
to see that kind of Tradition in 
contrast to Catholic, Pope-approved, 
totalitarian cults like Focolare, 
Neocatechumenate, etc, which are on 
record for having disaproved of 
intellectual activity and individual 
efforts towards the acquisition of wisdom.

Speculatively,
Mauri
