Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt01421)

Vincent,

I did not feel tricked. And I do not enjoy "judging personalities".

I just saw you said --  sometimes you write some nonsense in order to 
measure people's reactions.

That tends to be seen as a mental trick.

In Theosophy, candidness, the ability to speak one's mind, to write what one 
thinks and to think what one writes, is considered to be the fuel in the 
search for truth.

Otherwise you get trapped in closed circles leading to self-delusion.

Ideally, there should be a sort of balance between words and silence.

All the best,  Carlos.
