Dear Friend:

 

Every Human mind has free will and innately, due to the power of the Mahatma
within [ATMA-BUDDHI]. the power to choose for right (virtue) or wrong (vice
and selfishness) is actually exercised all the time.  Thus we build our own
personal Karma.

 

 

 

 

 

i found this article to be highly interesting.  this did contain vital
information. i just wanted to put my point of view that...why are still some
theosophy member / persons involved in logics and mere explanations just to
believe.....


this is accurately not the time to speculate things.  

 

well, i admire if this so called theosophy group could be creating a small
difference...well it is to be truly appreciated .but........  kind alarm is
that, please,,,,, its is just that you are not wasting time, but losing it. 

 

please know that these are areas of truth.... but higher than this i cannot
still be capable of instilling the right attitude to you,,,, if you do not
understand this. i say this in the interest of all of those (letters ) who
still are in grasping the science of knowledge in terms of language, mere
beliefs, logics, etc. please, it is important that you know that such things
can contribute to be huge penalties in the process of true wisdom. let truth
reach all.


thank you one and all.

 

-------------------------------------------------

 

 I am not sure I understand your warning.   

 

Can you give some example to , make it clear ?

 

 

What "group ?"

 

What does "belief" consist in?  

 

Does not pure logic and VIRTUE always apply?

 

What in any man is the "chela?"  

 

Is it not the "Lower Mind" - the KAMA-MANAS" which is now trying to purify
itself of false and VICIOUS (selfish) ideas and notions?

 

Let us e as clear as we can.  TRUTH  is for ALL.

 

We are immortal MONADS engaged on an eternal Pilgrimage, seeking for TRUTH,
and in the meanwhile, are we not also seeking to discipline our lower selves
(Kama-Manas) by making honest and brotherly [VIRTUOUS]  choices, as we live
in the here and now ?

 

Best wishes,

 

 

Dallas
