Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt00157)

Hallo Erica and all,

My views are:

Alright, I think I understand your view.
But try to read the last item in the same link as well.

This is the link.
Try to read the following e-mail I posted in 2002 here at Theos-talk:
http://theosophy.com/theos-talk/200206/tt00024.html

This is the last item in that link.
"10. It will deal with everyone according to capacity and character,
being neither benevolent nor the reverse: for kindness and cruelty,
while effective and understood in ordinary relationships, operate as
part of a conditioning system within a teaching or group situation."


When one can't laugh at a joke, that is one issue.
When one doesn't like the joke because of the motive or energy behind it, 
that is another issue.


from
M. Sufilight with peace and love...
