Theos-Talk Archives (December 2006 Message tt00009)

Dear Duane,

Thank you for your kind message.  I fully agree that if there is an ethical attitude and  basic truthfulness, all matters can be discussed without any strong sense of personal antagonism.  And we should be able to do so in the theosophical movement, that is, in the community of those who have good will for Life and for our planet. 

I guess you can give a good contribution in Theos-talk,  and if you have joined us but recently, or just joined the dialogue -- I welcome you.  

Regards,  Carlos.

> Hi Carlos
> Thank you for your wisdom and insights. You are by design a natural mediator. your statement "...that their is a sad absence of any authentic feeling of co-resposibility for the planet or for the destiny of our present civilization" says much The teachings given in Theosophy about the sutratma and building the Antahkarana are about building bridges. Veritically up into the hidden realms of spirit but also horizontally out into the world of man. If occult groups and organizations cannot exchange ideas about different subjects without antagonism then how are we to exspect average humanity who without hardly any training to get it together?. Should we not be setting an example to those younger students who may be just stepping onto the path? Not to falsely inflate the importance of what any of us say here on the net but is it not staggering in its implications that people from all around the world can read with interrest what some of the best Theosophical minds have to
> offer?. Rumi in one of his poems that I cannot presently find asks the reader to imagine that this next conversation he or she might have with there fellow man is their very last. Would it make any difference in the quality or tone of what we would communicate to each other?. The internet and its use is both a privelege and a responsibility that goes way beyond our monthly fees. Should we not treat it as if it were our own child? Giving it both love and the spiritual nourishment it deserves.
