Theos-Talk Archives (May 2010 Message tt00044)

Dear friends

My views are:


Yes. The can at least not be accused of crucifying Blavatsky.
But to ignore that there are more than one not unimportant mistake in the video(s) and then call the video nice, I find to be strange.

Some readers are willing to listen to the following I wrote dec. 5th 2009 about this video (or these videos).
Others are not, and that is maybe because they have something at stake; and perhaps they will tell us that pride of course has nothing to do with regard to this.

Here are the words:
>Did the TS fail because of HPB and a Mahatma-Craze?<
Words said to have come from H. P. Blavatsky: 
"When you are speaking of the imaginary Mahatmas, you are right" (Time: 2:27-2:30) (Video 5)

M. Sufilight says:
The Masters were and are not imaginary. This is a false theory promoted in H. P. Blavatsky's name. We the theosophists confirm that they are - REAL. We do however not forward this as a dogma, but as a hypothesis for those who do not know about them, - yet. Let us not undermine the Theosophical Society and its aims.
And let us not forward undocumented Tall Tales about H. P. Blavatsky.


Further H. P. Blavatsky wrote in her Esoteric Section papers:
"As to the relations of the Masters to this Section, it may be further said, paradoxically, that with Them everything is possible and everything impossible. They may or may not communicate personally on the outer plane with a member, and those who are continually wishing to receive "orders" or communications directly from Them on this plane, either phenomenally or otherwise, will in all probability be disappointed. The Masters have no desire to prove Their power or give "tests" to anyone whatever. And the fact that a member has concluded that a crisis of some kind or other is at hand, when, according to his wise opinion, the Master or Masters ought to speak and interfere personally, is no sound reason for such an outward interference.
It is, however, right that each member, once he believes in the existence of such Masters, should try to understand what their nature and powers are, to reverence Them in his heart, to draw near to Them, as much as in him lies, and to open up for himself conscious communication with the guru to whose bidding he has devoted his life. THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE BY RISING TO THE SPIRITUAL PLANE WHERE THE MASTERS ARE, AND NOT BY ATTEMPTING TO DRAW THEM DOWN TO OURS."
........

"A VALIANT DEFENCE OF THOSE WHO ARE UNJUSTLY ATTACKED, AND A CONSTANT EYE TO THE IDEAL OF HUMAN PROGRESSION AND PERFECTION WHICH THE SECRET SCIENCE (Gupta-Vidyâ) DEPICTS--THESE ARE THE GOLDEN STAIRS UP THE STEPS OF WHICH THE LEARNER MAY CLIMB TO THE TEMPLE OF DIVINE WISDOM."

Please I did not write the above to offend anyone, but seeking the promotion of the Truth, and the theosophical cause. I in fact wrote for the sake of us all.
