technically maybe but for it to be official you must discard The Secret dcotrine and Isis Unveiled from your library and stop looking for guides or answers from those books and don't ever quote it again.
TS members owes a lot from HPB especially the west, pls dont take it away from her. Your lineage is authentic because of her. She is your guru.
partly correct. So are you now on the highest level? hmmm...if not then you need a guru.
Illumined souls as I believe are freed from being a disciple.
leave the topic as is. don't touch the issue of having the need of followers. thats not the point at hand.
having a guru is a crutch? maybe. an ignorant or illusioned souls need a guide.
having a guru is religion? maybe to some but not here in this Order.
its getting late reg...i need some sleep.
let me leave you this thought...don't over intellectualise the whole process towards enlightenment, listen to those who have been there and most importantly get some experience before you give your own thought about it. and it goes the same for me.
but wait a minute...are you Illumined na ba? if the answer is yes then everything you said here is right. then im sorry for being ignorant.
ZEN does not admonish to follow any path or guru. You may read the scholarly works of
D.T. Suzuki on ZEN. ZEN is a way of life and life is the master-teacher of everything. Even The
Tao Te Ching,
Lao Tzu showed that life is his own greatest teacher.
It is not necessary to remember your past lives. What is important is the HERE and NOW as Jesus The Christ said, let the dead bury its own dead.
Reincarnation is not only a belief for me. It is a TRUTH based on the Law of Karma.
HPB was not the original writer of those esoteric wisdom. She was merely used by the masters. Therefore, she was just an instrument and not a guru.
Again, HPB is not my guru and you have to accept that my friend.
I am not concerned about my level and your level and someone's level. I am not here to compete or contest who is the highest level and I wouldn't say I am on the highest level.
Again...LIFE IS MY GURU and not a specific person!
I may be ignorant and my highest guide is still my HIGHER SELF and not any person outside of me.
What is your criteria of having you say that I am intellectualizing over enlightenment? Did I recite some theories or formulas or generalizing or something? can you be specific why you say that?
I'm listening with you and it is my decision alone whether to follow a certain path or guru. Spirituality is our birthright and not a thing that you have to acquire through the study of some form or guru.
Are you saying that I don't have any experience about spirituality? I tell you my friend, the moment I was born into this world, that was the time I engaged with Spirituality and not by attending to any groups like The Theosophical Society.
I may be ignorant and you may be wiser than me and what do you think is the difference? Does that make you enlightened already because you are more enlightened than me? hmmmmm
NAMASTE
