Theos-Talk Archives (December 2006 Message tt00224)

Duane,

Thanks.  

Free association is an interesting process.  

It evokes things from the unconscious layers.   Everything is connected in Nature, as we know.  Spontaneous associations of different things and events use to have deeper meanings than our left-side brain can describe in words, because they activate and manifest specific aspects of that interconnectedness  which often have "non-conscious" but meaningful purposes in life.   

Yours truly,  Carlos.

Assunto:Re: Theos-World Duane on the Essence of It All

> Hi Carlos,

> This next question that I am about to ask you may seem odd and out of context. As I went to open your most recent post my arm inadvertently knocked down some old papers and books from a low lying shelf. Coincidentally there in an old address book that had flipped open in clear view was written the name. Carlos, Boston University 783-2938 This could only be an address or notation made while I was working in the Boston Theosophical society in 1989-91. Rather an odd coincidence don't you think?

That is part of the alchemy; and a part of it which can't be avoided, denied, or ignored, without harming the process. A nasty word forthat is 'probation'. We do have small initiations and small probations everyday.

The mental plane we are taught in Theosophy has a number of different levels and you can always tell when someone in the group is operating on the higher sub-planes - Their thoughts shine forth like a beacon of Light in an otherwise fogging atmosphere. Theosophy is about principals and one of the key purposes of the interlect should be to interpret, qualify and step down these archetypal truths for the benefit of oneself and others in the group. If the interlect becomes to mired in detail at the exspense of this greater Manasic light time that could have been devoted to other more important things is lost. I understand the importance of getting the facts straight and bringing what appears to be some degree of justice or understnding to Theosohical history. One must be careful not to perpetuate the very energy that created much of this controversy to begin with. "Energy follows thought" is a occult law where we actually can so
