Theos-Talk Archives (February 2006 Message tt00015)

Dear MKR,


You are absolutely right.

At the same time,  for Theosophy to be a living
power in our lives it must be connected with our daily lives, including our
social mechanisms of mutual help.

The theosophical movement is a wide field in which we can test our
theoretical philosophy of life.  If  we fail to create healthy mechanisms 
for
mutual help and can't even manage real-estate property without wild
power struggle, as imay be the case with Adyar, than this is not necessarily
a reason to stop interacting in daily life and keep all contacts to 
Internet.

It could also be seen as a reason to learn the lessons from the failures and
to try again -- and keep trying.

In our personal families we  also have to learn to cooperate in daily life,
including house management and money management. Why  should we not,
as fellow students, TRY to build  healthy mutual help mechanisms which 
include
physical meetings, a place for them, editting books etc.??

The Internet may  be a wider horizon for perceiving all of this.

Every challenge is a source of inner learning. There are lessons to be 
learned
from the Narada TS  episode, for instance. Among them, the importance of 
action,
of  resistance, and of solidarity.

I am sure the solidarity the Narada TS students are receiving is making
a difference.   And the  Adyar power-mechanisms are getting clearer
and clearer, which is good for us -- and also for every sincere student in
Adyar itself (they exist).

Regards,   Carlos Cardoso Aveline
