Theos-Talk Archives (May 2008 Message tt00306)

Dear Concerned-Member.. 

....accepted, but with regret.  You write well. 

However, I think most of us in this group are comfortable with our identities and all that we may be - or may not be.  It is accepted that each of us comes from different backgrounds, has a variety of foundations, and I don't think any one of us would lay claim to "knowing-it-all";   we are all students and can learn from one another. It is through the sharing of knowledge and reading that we are growing and learning - and doing so without nom-de-plumes  / nicknames - even though some of us listen more than talk.  The analogy of sharing "good corn seed" works for me.  "Blogging" is a concept which is new and foreign to me, and I don't this forum should be place for it.  

The forthcoming TS-elections are a cause of concern for many students; for others, like me in South Africa, it is an interesting topic to which I can only be witness. I have neither authority nor knowledge to act any differently.

  No,

  I will not leave myself and my reputation open to your sharpened sword er should I say pen; and your lack of duo-perspective. 

  The point of view should speak for itself. We are not in the age of letters falling through thin air, or are we? We have e-mail. 

  I am familiar with all the groups I mentioned including the E.R. and again, as the Mahatma KH wrote A.B. so many years ago about a need to change the workings of the E.S., I see very little that has changed, if books on T.S. history are accurate. The E.S. is not the only doorway through which one can achieve salvation and enlightenment. There are 7 rays, and 7 paths that we have been made aware of in T.S. teachings.

  "At the Feet of the Master" says it all. A simple book to read, but one that takes lifetimes to master.

  Would the concerned member reveal his/her identity? It would be helpful to
  understand his point of view.
