Theos-Talk Archives (March 2003 Message tt00101)

Dear Wry

I would like to ask you what is the right point of
view to approach the problem? What is the problem for
you?

It really stimulates me when someone tries to play the
“lawyer of the devil”. It’s very easy the dissection
of a text written in few minutes and to criticize it.
Of course a positive critic as I see, I make the same
sometimes. 

No one message can change anything as history shows.
Not even Great and enlightened souls were ever able to
change the world with their messages. Who am I to
pretend or to expect from this community to do what,
Jesus, Buddha, Krishna etc couldn’t do…

My limited view on the subject points out that a
community like this could be gravitating around some
serious and deep investigations. Of course not
excluding the shallow views which I may include even
my own. I have no intention to be arrogant. 

WRY. You are wrong. The truth of the matter is that
root of the problem lies in your own heart. I speak to
you as a sister and not as your enemy.

Erica: If are trying to sustain the philosophy that
the world can change for better only if personally
everyone of us change. This is an utopia without any
possibility to become one day a reality. Humans are
different in their level of consciousness,
understanding, awareness, inner development etc. To
place all of them in the same level, and having the
same abilities is not only unfair, but cruel. Even
Theosophy points it out with the reincarnation system.


This does not means a racist or selective point of
view, on the contrary, it’s a more kind and gentle
approach. If you imagine a cripple or a blind person
he has for his limitations to have more rights in the
society and equal opportunities. We could apply this
for the “infants” which composes the majority of
humanity today. Including even ourselves why not…

If you offer a child a sweet she will take it, if you
place a charged gun in front of a child she will use
it, without knowing the consequences and will harm
herself or others. If you live a child with excess of
freedom she will harm her or himself. Why? A child
doesn’t know still how to walk proper, or the danger
of a gun etc. 

What we see happening specially in the Western World
today? Infants filling themselves with the “sweets”
nourishing their desires and passions and going deeper
on it. But this is what is offered for them,
stimulation for the lower self, in this way they can’t
develop the mind or even if so they are going to be
more slaves of their own desires in a deeper way. This
is the very heart of the system. 

Can you imagine a system, more or less as Plato
describes that a politician to become a politician he
should donate for the state all his properties, and to
live for the rest of his life a simple life dedicated
only for the people?

Which souls would be attracted by power? Those who
wish money or status “(sweets)” or those who really
have a real interest to contribute for a better? 

The system that rules the world, and I mean the
political ones, they are far from the principles of
Universal Brotherhood. Understanding that Universal
Brotherhood cannot be only a mere collection of good
feeling towards all beings, but a system which can
reflect elevated and nobles ideals which may guide
humanity into better condition. 

WRY: This may or may not be true, but you are
approaching the problem from the wrong entrance point.
It is very easy to see this. Do we all see it? Also,
even if you are capable of analyzing this, which I do
not believe to be the case, such analysis will not
solve the problem. You can see this?

best regards,

Erica letzerich
