Dear Frank:

Re "Women" Here is what the Tao Teh King says:


MOTHER NATURE

Without a name, it [TAO] is the Beginning of Heaven and Earth; with a name,
it is the MOTHER OF ALL THINGS. 

There is something, chaotic yet complete, which existed before Heaven and
Earth. Oh how still it is, and formless, standing alone without changing,
reaching everywhere with out suffering harm! It must be regarded as the
Mother of the Universe, 

The World has a First Cause, which may be regarded as the Mother of the
World. When one has the Mother, one can know the Child. He who knows the
Child and still keeps the Mother, though his body perish, shall run no risk
of harm. 


PASSION THE ENEMY

Only one who is eternally free from earthly passions can apprehend its
spiritual essence; he who is ever clogged by passions can see no more than
its outer form. 

All things depend on it for life, and it rejects them not. Its task
accomplished, it takes no credit. It loves and nourishes all things, but
does not act as master. It is ever free from desire. 

It is the Way of Heaven to take from those who have too much, and give to
those who have too little. But the way of man is not so. He takes away from
those who have too little, to add to his own superabundance. What man is
there that can take of his own superabundance and give it to mankind? Only
he who possesses Tao. "

Daniel,

I do not expect that you share or at least understand what I try to say.
Your remark is not an argument but rather an emotion.
I thank Pedro too for the KH quote.

I guess that both you and Pedro think that KH's words rebuts my theorem.
If so, then this is a fault of your mind, not mine.
To me there is no contradiction. Prove me wrong.

Also the quote cannot alter my many years of experience in theosophical 
circles.

I don't think that KH or HPB or the Buddha would set dogma above experience.

If I have expressed myself not clear enough: I was speaking about today in 
this space and time, not of the condition of women in say a million of 
years.

Did you read in the KH quote that he speaks of recent conditions?

Or is my English still so bad?
