Theos-Talk Archives (July 2006 Message tt00363)

Hi Adelasie,
Absolutely in full agreement with you.  You said it far more eloquently than I ever could.   In an attempt to get HPB out to the world, I spend much time on non-theosophical groups promoting her ideas.  This is not an easy task as the claims of Fraud, Charleton, yada yada, are being raised.  Funnily enough it is not her character that is being questioned but her teachings.  If those advaitees of HPB really wish to support her, their time, I believe, would be better spent not preaching to the converted!

Take care
Cass

 Your post caught my eye. You express something that occurrs to me 
 often. In this cycle we have been given, at great personal cost to 
 some very fine individuals, a chance to understand more about who we 
 are and why we are here than humanity has ever been given before. We 
 have developed the internet as a means of communication that has 
 never been equalled, as far as we know, for its power to reach around 
 the world, and we use this extraordinary opportunity to carp and 
 cavil about petty and meaningless details, even indulging in endless 
 speculation about the validity and authenticity of the messenger who 
 brought the information. It seems like the very worst sort of 
 squandering of energy, a thing warned against in all occult teaching.
 
 One can only assume that those who use this venue in such a way 
 simply choose to align themselves with the group that tries to 
 destroy any efforts toward progress and unity essayed by humanity. 
 It's just the inevitable polarity of forces. Any progress toward the 
 consciousness of the Unity of all life generates its opposite force. 
 And everyone who goes along with their efforts at sabotage is simply 
 subscribing to the old saw, "Better the familiar darkness than the 
 unfamiliar Light." 
 
 All this is not really cause for concern, however. The forces of 
 darkness cannot prevail. The can delay and obscure, but they only 
 serve the purpose of helping the individual to come to a realization 
 of the truth, that it is the Light, the realm of Love and Compassion, 
 of Altruism and Devotion, that is real, and that all else is dust and 
 ashes.  
 
 It behooves any who see past these continual efforts to throw mud on 
 the finest offerings of humanity to redouble our efforts to live 
 according to our highest ideals, to put the ancient teaching into 
 practice in our daily lives, to generate centers of light for the 
 benefit of those around us. We have fine examples in the lives of 
 such luminaries as HPB, WQJ, and others, who devoted their life 
 energy to the work given them from within. We really can make a 
 difference. There are no little things. We never know when some 
 trivial action of our own, unnoticed in the daily train of events, 
 will be the one that will change the course of history. And those 
 forces of darkness that make so much noise and confusion? they simply 
 cease to have any power over us.
