Theos-Talk Archives (June 2006 Message tt00053)

Carlos Paterson, Friends, 

Thanks for your considerations.  


I will try to answer to the questions. 

1) What do I mean by direct knowledge?  A knowledge that, though parcial, is not limited to mere hearsay, but is tested by,  and strengthened,  in actual EXPERIENCE. 

2) Yes,  DIRECT KNOWLEDEGE AND ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE are obviously related. 

Please take into consideration that SOPHISTS and PSEUDOTHEOSOPHISTS have one defining thing in common: they both do not TEST IN ACTUAL LIFE, they do not experience, what they talk about. 

PHILOSOPHY, on the other hand, has one fundamental thing in common with THEOSOPHY: it is connected with actual life or experience; it changes the daily life of  theosophists or philosophers.  

Hence Philosophy and Theosophy are linked  to the developmente of virtues, the paramitas of Buddhism, or simply true ETHICS.  (University "Philosophy" is usually far from what I am talking about.) 


FATE is but KARMA.  I prefer using the word Karma.

I do not see any "blind fate" waiting for human civilization. 

Best regards,   Carlos.
