“Every Western Theosophist Should Learn and Remember...”

THE “MAHATMA LETTERS”, ON DEALING WITH FALSEHOODS

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


Dear Friends,


Having been intoxicated with the theological indoctrinations of Vatican Christianism for the last 16 centuries, we suffer from a tendency to think that outward courtesy must replace actual respect for truth.

Yet, surprisingly enough, common respect for truth is inseparable from true Brotherhood.

In the “Mahatma Letters”, one of the Adept-Teachers who inspire the theosophical movement writes:

“Every Western Theosophist should learn and remember, especially those of them whom would be our followers -- that in our Brotherhood, all personalities sink into one idea -- abstract right and absolute practical justice for all. And that, though we may not say with the Christians, ‘return good for evil’ -- we repeat with Confucius -- ‘return good for good; for evil, -- justice’.” (1)



Best regards, Carlos.
