Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt00508)

Erica, I only have a minute right now, but I will return to your 
wonderful post next week.

I understand Bruce and Carlos now. I do not agree with them, but I 
understand their thought processes and I see where I and others differ 
in our own thinking. Let me just briefly say, that Bruce and Carlos 
appear trapped in a line of thought that will produce eternal divisions 
of humanity -- forever pitting man against man. They have pledged an 
allegiance to a particular movement instead of to the objects of the 
movement generalized upon humanity as a whole. I see the 3 objects as 
representing the way and the path of our human journey through the arc 
of the ascent. The Theosophical Movement and the Theosophical Society 
are but single attempts of humans coming together in brotherhood to find 
their way together. The TM and TS do not own the 3 objects. However, 
Bruce and Carlos seem to believe that the TM is the only one true 
instance and that any attempt to follow the 3 objects from another 
perspective is anathema, even though a cursory reading of modern day 
events shows clearly that Divine Wisdom is on a roll without the 
official movement.

Our awareness and direct experience of the Unity of the One and All is 
not dependent on the mundane trappings of ANY theosophical organization 
whose members continue to shine their light upon the relative truth of a 
particular time, place, and people, as though, if given enough light, 
that relative truth will be seen as the Ultimate Reality.

Erica, I hope you do not leave this list. You and many others bring a 
sanity and a serenity to our endeavors here that is more valuable than gold.

peace and love,


bill
