Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt00414)

Adelasie,

Thanks. 

Of course, things are complex.

Once you develop an "implicit confidence" in something or somebody, your autonomy will be partially inner, not outer, since you decided you can rely on something,  or someone whom you call your elder brother, or simply brother, and so on. 

But there will be no blind obedience;  and you will be critically checking everything, as long as the training and learning is compatible with the method started and taught by HPB and the Masters. 

Last but nolt least: healing often hurts in the short term,  while poisoning is frequently nice  and smooth. 


Regards,   Carlos.
