Theos-Talk Archives (December 2008 Message tt00079)

Richard,
    Yeah, it could easily be seen as the fumbling drunk the way the spell checker or whatever did it dood it!! Lol!  But I don't imbibe in any alcoholic anything I am a vowed Buddhist and vegetarian since 1981. Google Earth and Google are very intoxicating to me and a natural high.

Regards'
John

No problem John and no need to blame the spellchecker, HPB herself 
was known to be a tippler of fine mokvba vodka which leads to its own 
kind of moksha:)

personal view is he had zero idea of real Tibetan History and carries 
the karma for grossly misinforming a huge number of people that 
valued his erroneous renditions which are equivelent to nothing more 
than Theosophical fantasy's where he never knew of the oppressions of 
all the Tibetan sects by the Gelugpa such as is written by David 
Reigle and many Historians? How did theosophical teachers rely on 
bullcrap? GDP was never any expert on Tibet based on the quote you 
used. One can make almost any assertion to ignorant uninformed masses 
of followers and the general public and on a snap decision they will 
follow in suit as long as the assertion seems plausible and 
reasonable and aligns with the group agreements, but that doesn't 
make it right or correct. Just my personal views. There were huge 
omissions by Theosophy back then as to events on the world stage. 
Krakatoa seems to have been ignored in the main. The history
> of the British Troops in Tibet, the Russians, and others needs to 
be read from real Historians and then compared to Theosophy views. I 
don't mean there should not be "esoteric" views given in Theosophy 
but there is no possibility that true real events that really 
happened can ever be ignored in favor of unsubstantiated assertions 
that have no real basis and that when you look and it ends in a blind 
alley where no records are obtainable the ground is treacherous.
> The Gelugpa committed gross overt acts against any in Tibet who 
helvariantnBuddhistst views that includes also the Tashi Lama. 
Exterminating, burning, making anathema Kagyu, Sakya , Jonompa, and 
the others to include the Bon and also Shaminism. It was anything but 
a Happy time, tens of thousands of Tibetans lived in fear of severe 
grave reprisals and even death for many centuries not from a foreign 
power, but from the Gelugpsuccessionon. Their Monastery's were burnt 
to the ground by Gelugpa. Their sacred Texts, Sutra'sReligious 
Objects and History's were destroyed and burnt with a zeal that 
equeleequeledquisition that HPB wrote so much about. Isn't it curious 
that the so morale, ethical followers invent 
ratirationalizationsaccomadate their need to accept bullcrap? At 
least there is one person that accepts group karma for theitheir 
deeds of the past and is making efforts to unburden the 
accumaccumulationt is the Dalai Lama Lamaelf in the current era. Just 
my view. I adjure peopl

TibeTibetan'sing the modern period it is hysterically rediredictulous 
the extreme and had me in tears laughing at the mindless responses of 
the Gelugpa and the AdmAdministrativevGovernmentat nearly drove any 
foreigner insane lol!!!

It is very "New Age" in the context of la la land acceptance of pure 
baloney in certain cases. I don't think Tibet had "abominable 
intestines", I think he was trying to say "abominable internecine".
