Theos-Talk Archives (March 2009 Message tt00598)

Organizations and politicians find it difficult to deal with people who are
independent thinkers because you cannot control them. But independent
thinking is exactly what is needed for an individual to grow. For too long,
in some theosophical circles, sheepish mentality is misconstrued to be
essential for moving towards chelaship; and many believed it, because it is
easy to be a sheep than an independent thinker.
