Theos-Talk Archives (December 2006 Message tt00045)

Carl,

Thanks. Let's contextualize it.

Dallas' opinions deserve our respect. As they come from his heart 
and were
sincere, we have respect for them, don't we?

Now, this is not a discussion as to the succession of the Chief 
Executive
Officer (CEO) in a conventional money-searching multinational 
corporation, as
Caldwell sometimes seems to try to see it. It is more complex than 
that.

Dallas has his insights, his views.

Point Loma groups will have different insights, perhaps.

Pasadena wil have other ideas to offer. And Edmonton TS. And HPB 
students in
the Adyar TS.

All of them deserve my respect.

And there is indeed mutual respect among these groups. Each 
individual person
is entitled to join the group he or she finds the best, and this 
person will
probably have a feeling of respect for the other ones.

We all know that there was dissension in the past, well fed by 
hostile
elementals and by enemies of the movement.

As we are now -- we, all HPB/Masters students -- we can see one 
thing: that
which we have in common is much, much greater than that which could 
separate us
in one or other particular aspect. This is And this is Theosophy; 
this is the 
Universal Wisdom.

It would therefore be extremely naive for someone from one of these 
groups to
come to Theos-talk to say that "his group is right" and the other 
ones "are
wrong".

See what I mean? There is a wider magnetic field than that.

Truth is beyong personal differences of view. It is also beyond 
corporate
divisions. The ULT Declaration of 1909 is clear about that.

Before you ask, the only problem with part of the Adyar Society is 
that it has
closed itself behind the doors or ceremonialism, well-proven 
illusions and
blind belief.

It will take some time, perhaps, for these quarters of the Adyar 
Society to
awaken. When they do so, it will be a major positive event for the 
theosophical
movement as a whole.

I believe in cycles and rebirths.


Regards, Carlos.
