Crosbie's Autonomy
Nov 01, 2006 08:58 AM
by carlosaveline
Friends,
Not being, perhaps, as aspirant to the Divine Wisdom (Gupta Vidya), Mr. Daniel Caldwell does not know that the only real "authority" for every disciple or aspirant to discipleship is his own inner conscience and heart.
Had he known that, he would not repeatedly ask himself, Jesuit-like, "on whose authority did Mr. Crosbie..." and so on, and so forth.
Outer autjhorities are a well-known Jesuitic power-device.
The autonomy of the learner is a basic principle to observe and respect by everyone who approaches the Esoteric Philosophy.
Jesuits have a real difficulty in understanding that, but I hope Daniel can grasp this principle rather easily.
One's heart is Above, not Below, outer vows anywhere any time.
Regards, Carlos.
