Theos-Talk Archives (September 2006 Message tt00189)

Dear Rudy and Friends, 

Thanks.

Sorry, I did not pay attention to  possible differences of views in this. 

I just wanted to underline and  celebrate the subject itself --  the working of the monad, duad, upper triad. 

I hope we can all investigate these higher themes in a respectful and impersonal mood, welcoming one another.  After all, we do know that in occult matters "that which is nice to A, should be good for B, and that which hurts B, should also be painful to A".  (This is but the general idea; we have the exact words of it in Letter 3 -- I think --  first series, "Letters from the Masters of the Wisdom".)

If we can create such a friendly climate in one or two threads here, turbulences will have limited effects. This is an invitation to all and to myself. 

The active presence here of people like Rudy, Barbara, Jake and Gary, among many others, make me feel Theos-talk is improving and its progress can turn out to be solid. 

Regards,  Carlos.
