If we were  Edwardians we would all be like the folks who worshipped Annie 
and the  Bishop!

The truth can never go to far. We are not victorians any  more.

Get rid of those silly ideals. Deal with reality.

Dear Alex

I am  not the moderator on this list.
But, I agree, that this joke from Chuck  went too far. Do you not agree on 
that Chuck?

Yet, it is also true,  to some of us, that a number of Chuck's e-mails are in 
fact quite  theosophical in content. If you can - not - find any of his 
e-mails to be  theosophical in content, please let me know.

The fact that is that you  tell me and others, that you grow impatient, 
because you completely  disagree with all Chuck writes in his e-mails - and 
you 
therefore need  to delete them.

I will tell you, that If I had to delete all those  e-mails I thought to be - 
no good, I would problably be very busy. :-)  Therefore try to read the story 
THE REMEDY in the below. 

May I  ask: Why do you not talk with Chuck about his behaviour instead. That 
is a  more theosophical and altruistic idea. Do you not agree?

Here are two  Sufi stories for you to consider.... Her
I do hope, that you will calm down  a bit after reading it.

1.
THE REMEDY
Some  say that Nasrudin lived in the time of the great conqueror Tamerlane, 
and  was one of his advisers.

One day, so goes the tale, Timur the Lame  called the Mulla and said:
'Nasrudin, the Empire is full of slanderers. How  can we stop their evil 
work?'
'You can never stop crime unless you  punish all the criminals,' said 
Nasrudin.
'You mean the  slanderers?'
'And their accomplices - those who listen to them,' the Mulla  reminded him

- - - - - - -

2.
WHOM TO BELIEVE
Mulla  Nasrudin had an insatiable craving for knowledge, but did not seem to 
know  what knowledge was. As a result he asked a local wise man the stupidest 
 
questions, always based upon random assumptions
One day the Mull a  noticed that his donkey was Inissing. He ran to the wise 
man 5  house.
'Well, Mulla, what is it this time?'
'My donkey is gone! Where  can I find it?'
The wise man was quite fed up with the Mulla. 'Nasrudin,'  he said, 'the 
donkey has run off, turned into a man and been ap-pointed  the magistrate in 
the 
next town.'
Thanking the wise man for his  information, the Mulla trudged to the court. 
There sat the magistrate, and  Nasrudin shook his fist at him:
'Come home at once, you foolish  animal!'
The magistrate was furious. 'Who are you and how dare you talk to  me like 
that? I'll have you sent to the cells!'
'I'm the well-known  Mulla Nasrudin, and I have it on the best authority that 
you are my  donkey.'
'That's ridiculous. Nobody in his right senses would credit such a  thing!'
Nasrudin drew himself up to his full height. 'Say what you like he  said, 'I 
prefer to believe the statement of a wise man rather than that of  a donkey.'
Wisdom, according to the Sufis, can only be acquired when one is  ready for 
it: though people insist on seeking enlightenment as and when  they want it. 
The Sufi's task, however, includes trying to impart  knowledge in the right 
way, 
at the right time, to the people who are  able to receive it:

Is this funny for everyone here? 
I'm not sure why  the moderator is passively ok with this and even 
allows you to showoff  your website. Is he still alive? I don't know 
about others but I'm  starting to get tired of deleting your messages 
from my inbox.
This  crap is not Theosophy, this is just bored goofing around that 
spoils  things for others, and makes the new comer puke on the whole 
group and  leave. 
The Unity of Mind is lacking in here already, I don't think we need  
to see this nonsense anymore.

Chuck, why don't you try to be like  Milarepa and turn things around, 
become the first Enlightened man in  modern times to abandon the path 
of sorcery and black magic? 
Think  about it Chuck, you will increase the membership, peoples 
participation  and get all our votes if you choose to run and 
promulgate the DOCTRINE of  the Buddhas! 
What do you think? :)
