A TESTING GROUND

Dear Gary B., dear Friends, 

Thanks.

No, you were not preaching.  

This is an open room to exchange views. 

It is also a meeting point between the Esoteric Philosophy and the World at large.  A place for testing our theories on  universal brotherhood. Such a testing provide us with excellent opportunities in terms of self-observation, self-knowledge,  self-control and self-improvement. 

I wish the theosophical movement had more "rooms" like that, and more publications,  more open to the variety of viewpoints and apparent controversy.

Best regards,   Carlos Cardoso Aveline

I would hope that where I stumble in my understanding, you and all others will be here to aid me and if possible may I do the same for you. I do not see anyone claiming infallibility within this site who is a sincere student and attempting to apply theosophy within and without.
