Theos-Talk Archives (December 2005 Message tt00367)

Why on earth does this claptrap persist? I can only surmise that it 
is an opportunity for anyone who tries to live right and think for 
him/herself to practice these very things. Already it is a bit over 
my line to respond, except that I want to defend that great soul, 
HPB, and the Masters of Compassion, her Teachers, the saviors of 
mankind, from this petty caterwauling. And yet I know, I know, that 
any opposition only fuels negativity. Let us live in the Light and, 
following the examples set for us by the Great Ones, find compassion 
for those who are so deluded that such messages as this, and the 
subject, can even pretend to be serious. Let me try...

Happy New Year all, to new beginnings,
Adelasie
