Dear Doss:

That says it all and goes for me too.

I then consider it a part of my duty to make others aware of this wonderful
science and logic of self-improvement.

Look at what it eliminates:

1	Fear is eliminated. As immortal spirit/souls we do not need
priests.  

2	"Luck" and "chance" are eliminated. As free choosers we get rid of
them. We receive what we have deserved. Karma handles all justly and
fairly.  

3	We make our own future condition, be it a "heaven" or a "hell."
And we can always change those conditions by changing our motives.
		
4	God is NATURE (or the UNIVERSE) as a whole. It is eternal. We are
immortal parts of IT. We have always shared in IT, and IT is always present
in us. The closest 

6	We cannot hide any of our actions or motives. We can never take
advantage of others. If we do selfish things we only punish ourselves in the
future.

7	We are brothers to all beings and our common goal is WISDOM and
PERFECTION. The "life-atoms" (Monads) and the Mahatmas are both our
brothers 

Best wishes, 

Dallas

Looking at all the various messages we have seen, you have hit the nail on 
its head as it is figuratively said. To me, leaving aside all personalities 
and all the questions about the fine points about the discrepancies in the 
literature, the fact is that modern thosophy has survived for over 100 
years. It has provided a comprehensive "hypothesis" about the universe and 
man/woman.

Another question I frequently ask myself is - am I a better person today 
because of my exposure to theosophy and has it helped me in my 
understanding of myself and the world around me?

If the answer is YES, then that is what is more important to me than 
anything else.

And my gratitude goes to everyone from HPB onwards who have worked and 
sacrificed to popularize theosophy to the world. As they say, I think it is 
important to walk the walk as much as talk the talk.
