Theos-Talk Archives (December 2006 Message tt00849)

Friends, 

No one can have "his own emotions" or "his own ideas". 

Ultimately, emotional and mental atmospheres are but one, and are shared by all.  One can choose what kind of emotions and thoughts we give more intensity to. We can choose words, and use them to convey or transmit feelings and thoughts which we 'make our own' ; which we can adopt and transform.  

But as a matter of fact the ocean of human feelings is but one, just as the ocean of human ideations, and as the ocean of spiritual perceptions.

Everything is shared, although it is often shared unconsciously. 

Theosophical teachings give us elements to get to be conscious about that 'universal partnership', the 'great conversation' which never ceases among all beings.  Even stars are linked to each  leaf of grass, as one Mahatma wrote in the ML, with other words.  Pythagoreans call that "universal friendship".

So all kinds of personalistic ambitions and group-prides within the theosophical movement are but forms of mis-understanding what Theosophy is fundamentally about. 

It is about an universal and all-encompassing long term consciousness which develops side by side with a critical and practical view of short term things.

This paradoxical combination of the two human brain hemispheres is seen in all its dimensions in the "Mahatma Letters". 

Best regards as Christmas gets nearer,   Carlos.
