Theos-Talk Archives (December 2006 Message tt00676)

 Carlos, thanks for your not so veiled allegory below. I am glad to see that you are still capable to recognizing inappropriate theosophical humor. But just as calling a dog's tail a leg does not make it a leg, neither does spouting theosophical opinions make them facts, especially infallible facts. But I do appreciate all that you try to do for us, Carlos ;>)

Friends, 
(Special thanks to Marie) 

The quote below is ascribed to Abraham Lincoln, and it is especially significant to theosophists, who are often inclined to idealize things, or to deny mistakes and chalenges in the movement.

"How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg?" asks A. Lincoln. 

And he answers: 

"Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg."

Yes -- some common sense helps. 

Best regards, Carlos.
