Theos-Talk Archives (February 2010 Message tt00033)

We all have seen some very fine Masons and theosophists who are altruistic
and best specimens of humanity. Such qualities have no correlation with the
erudition, position held, how high they are in Masonry or theosophical
organizations and any other attribute. We also have seen those in the other
extreme, that may shock us.

We all wear a mask to present a favorable image in the world. However, when
people are put in highly stressful and unusual situations, usually created
by themselves, major breaks take place in the mask and people usually see
the real person and usually those undesirable characteristics hidden behind
the mask show up. When it happens, there is damage to the individual which
is very difficult to fix. Those who come thru the rents in the mask smelling
like a rose, have nothing to worry.

Let us see what is in store for TS in the near future. Are we seeing the
calm before the storm?
