Theos-Talk Archives (January 2002 Message tt00519)

Dear Larry,

Well join the club! We all come from various backgrounds, and 
most of them include some form of limited thinking, which we have 
the opportunity, as theosphists, to transcend. I was told at the 
beginning of my study of occultism to cultivate an open mind, and I 
do try, although there are times when I get pretty involved in trying 
to "make a point." But I also remember reading, "A thousand 
failures are nothing compared to a single successful effort." Our 
sincere attempts to reflect the higher human qualities lend strength 
to that trend in the evolution of all humanity, so all we really have to 
do is note our failures, and try to do better. Forgiveness starts at 
home, wouldn't you say? 

Best wishes,
Adelasie
