Re: Theos-World WHO is to determine who is prepared or unprepared to have contact.....?

"If we set before an unprepared soul an ideal so lofty that it does not move him, we check his evolution. If you give to a peasant the ideal of a Brahmana you are placing before him an impossible ideal, and the result is that he does nothing. When you tell a man a thing too high for him, that man knows that you have been talking nonsense, for you have commanded [45] him to perform that which he has no power to perform; your folly has placed before him motives which do not move him. But wise were the teachers of old. They gave the children sugar-plums, and later the higher lessons." Annie Besant

Carlos writes to me:

======================================================
So the reason why you have put HPB's "esoteric texts" in the internet
for every unprepared soul to have a precocious contact with them,
before they can understand anything is -- to show you don't pay
atention to HPB's words and aims? Thast you do not have respect for
her?
=====================================================

Let us consider the underlying implications of Carlos' words about
the case of an "unprepared soul" having "a precocious contact" with
HPB's writings.

In this year of 2006, WHO is to decide whether a particular person or
soul is prepared or unprepared and whether that person should have
contact with HPB's esoteric writings?

Are YOU Carlos the person to decide?

Or are you suggesting that the current DES secretary is the person to
make that decision???

Let's take Jim, a ULT associate. If he finds out TODAY about the
ULT's Dyzan Esoteric School and writes to the DES Secretary at the
ULT headquarters and is admitted to the DES, WHO then decides if Jim
is as a "soul" prepared or unprepared?

WHO decides that Jim is worthy or prepared to have "contact" with
HPB's esoteric writings?

Is it the DES secretary?

And what special qualifications does this secretary have to make such
an important decision?

Certainly I would think that one should not have "a precocious
contact" with these writings! At least this seems to be one of the
implications of your statements.

And if the current DES secretary is the one who makes such a
decision, then who decided that the DES secretary was prepared and
qualified to do such? Was it the former DES Secretary? And who
before that person? And....

These are just some of the questions that thinking and inquiring
students of Theosophy might ask as they read your various
pronouncements....
