Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt00639)

Konstantin, 

While respecting your views, I have to say one should examine what does the cat do with the rat after catching it. 

Theosophy should liberate people's mind, not "catch" them and put them inside some ritjualistic belief.   

The cat/mouse metaphor is limited, though interesting. My point is that if you have to be false, in order  to get a wider public, then you should forget about the wider public and keep to a smaller group of persons, with truthfulness.  

Especially if your motto is "There is no Religion higher than Truth." 

Out of respect for the "consumer", so to say, our "product" has to be "worthwhile" and has to have "good quality".

Theosophy is about Ethics and Truthfulness and, as I see it, there is no other way to go. 

Carlos.
