Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt00659)

Vladimir,

Thanks (see below).

I try not to be merciless with people.

But I believe in an open and frank debate.

One of the lessons we have to learn-and-teach to each other  in the 
theosophical movement is that
we are NOT our ideas.  It is a lesson of detachment, or vairagya.  This is a 
quality of fundamental importance for truth-seekers.

People who think they are their ideas will get "personally offended " 
whenever  their ideas are
questioned, or when they are shown to be false.

Now, is this "scholarly"?

Best regards, Carlos.
