Theos-Talk Archives (April 2006 Message tt00008)

Dear Bruce, dear Chuck,

I agree with Bruce and I add: caution was not recomended by HPB, Judge and 
the Masters only.

It is an old tradition.

To plant before harvesting is an ancient idea.

The New Testament has  lots of sentences about the virtue of waiting for the 
right time.

So have the philosophical taoism ("Tao Te King" )  the Hindu "Bhagavad 
Gita", etc.

Anxiety for results  is short-term,  and the esoteric doctrines of every 
tradition are long-term.

Search for personal psychic powers (siddhis)  may lead you to visit MARS and 
MERCURY and to describe physical plane houses, gardens, agriculture and 
politics there, or to "talk to Lord Christ", as "Bishop" Leadbeater, the 
pseudo-initiate, did.  (I will not mention other things...)

On the other hand, altruism, right effort and patience  will  lead you to 
understand the LAW or DHARMA.

This is no theory. It is Theosophy and Practice. It is common sense. We all 
can have small scale, objetive, successful experiences along this road.


Regards,  Carlos.
