DANIEL AND HIGHER GUIDANCE

Apr 25, 2006 11:35 AM
by carlosaveline


Dear Friends,

We can judge and evaluate those events (see below) by their results, as recommended in the first lines of Letter 10, non-ch. edition, of the Mahatma Letters.

The creation of the ULT by  Robert Crosbie brought a long term common sense trend to a growing sector of the movement. 

As to the Pasadena TS, after a few decades, it also got over its crisis and has been giving important editorial and other contributions to the movement. 

We should have more to do than plant and feed dissention.

The importance of getting rid of Leadbeater/Besant fancies is that then we can go ahead with the movement on a healthier basis and -- HELP MANKIND.

Helping mankind will enhance our ability to receive higher guidance and inspiration, both individually and coolectively.   

We should get rid of some of our past mistakes, including "occult gossips" and unending power struggles, and cast, or project, a compassionate look at humanity as a whole: from the  Dharfur humanitarian crisis ( 200,000 people slowly dying) to the excess of CO2 in the atmosphere.

Perhaps even Daniel could help the movement in moving beyond fancies and gossips and in making the active relationship between the philosophy of Theosophy and the challenges humanity must face right now and in the years ahead. 

The theosophical movement has a role to play and should feel co-responsible for the present state of human affairs. 

Best regards,   Carlos.

Assunto:[Spam] Theos-World Robert Crosbie's 1907 Opinion of Katherine Tingley

> In 1907 Robert Crosbie wrote the following concerning

> =============================================

> ....She tried of course in every way to change my determination, but 
> finding me unchangeable, she let me go, and as I afterwards heard, 
> gave out that she had sent me away for "bad conduct" - just what I

> . . . She will also speak in Belasco Theater on Sunday eve on "Some
