Friends,


Cass says Plato "and all the great thinkers" think that ideas be 
be 'owned'.

It is hard to see where does Cass dream that Plato or other great 
thinkers wrote such a thing.  

Especially Plato, for whom  Ideas are abstract archetypes equivalent 
to Pythagorean Numbers.  

Nothing related to Theosophy or Esoteric Wisdom is or can be  
subject to private property or individual control. 

In fact, nothing of any real value is subject to control or private 
property. Life, Wisdom, Truth, Love, Friendship... none of these,for 
instance. Any private property is an illusion.  Chapter 5 of the 
Buddhists "Dhammapada", correctly entitled "The Fool", says that The 
Fool thinks:  

"This is my family, this is my property".

We are all passing visitors, passing guests, not proprietors, in 
Life.


Best regards,   Carlos.
