Theos-Talk Archives (December 2006 Message tt00134)

Hi Carlos,

It seems to me you mis-understand quite a bit, and are caught in the 
limited conceptual reasoning... (i.e. Words), which distorts your 
seeing.
Below some comments:

Jb: Incorrect. K. never talked 'Against'...
he pointed out, for the listener to see and have an insight into.

Jb: Carlos... _what would you like_ to call the place where books, 
videos can be obtained, and dilaogs happen?
Should it be called Theosophic Society, or Meditation Society, or...?
That would not say much, since K's teaching is unique, and if one 
wants to locate it in space and time, an appropriate 
label/indication is necessary.

But you say... 'Look at this man's big Ego!... he has his name on 
the door... he is dishonest and crooked!"
Right?

Opinion, dsitortion, conclusion, trap.
Only you can jump out of it...
but I doubt you want... for
it is rather _satisfying_ for the
sense of the self-center.
Kindly Look...
right?

 
>

writings; 


Jb: Thank God for that!; otherwise one would get a soup/cocktail of 
the 1001 saviours and gurus... 
but if you prefer that, I am not arguing with it - I have mixed 
myself all kinds of models and 'experts' and dogmatic religions, 
many years ago... till I found the foolishness of it - 
... but do go ahead and enjoy it...
who is going to stop you?

concepts of Karma and Reincarnation; 

Jb: 
Sorry, but here I have to slightly, smile...
..."concepts"... "karma".... ?!

I can see that you are not acquainted with what Direct Insight is... 
nor with what Krishnamuri had to say on these.
You seem to follow the path of a Believer... - copying and repeating 
others' 'concepts' - 
and Not that of a free inquirerer and Discoverer, _first hand_.

Theosophy, Universal Wisdom, higher self (triad),  and Antahkarana.

Jb: If I may share with you my honest view 
on what your message shows, is this:
You are trapped
in the matrix of
exotically
conceptual games
and dogmatic 'truths', 
sinking your vision
into a swamp of
self-deceptive quick-sand.

My friendly advice: start to SEE
things _as they are_...
which means, throw away everything
you have learned from tradition
and the 'experts'.

Jb: I have already replied to that.
