Theos-Talk Archives (August 2006 Message tt00531)

Friends,

A few thoughts on the discussion of the last few weeks.

Whereas HPB did not talk on politics and went out of her way to avoid it, 
she did speak on occassion on the morality of certain national or 
international incidents.

Earlier, I thought it would be instructive to look at dugpas, who they were 
and how they operated.  From a study of theosophy it becomes clear that 95% 
of humanity does not bother thinking for themselves, they are followers.  
They are also the younger brothers of the 5% who have awakened.  Now, 
whether they be Moslem, Jew, Hindu, Christian, etc., they simply follow the 
principles and guidance of their religious and political leaders.  The 
dugpa, like the White Brother, does not want to incur Karma for his actions. 
 He wants the rest of humanity to voluntarily hand over their rights (their 
will) to him so that he can act on their behalf for his own selfish gains.  
Democracy's lend themselves very well for this type of handing over of 
power.  In the West one's education, health, access to the resources of the 
land, access to new technologies, etc. have all been handed over to 
governments in the interest of profit and power for the special few.

As theosophists and as moral human beings we have to keep our eye on what is 
 moral; the political and the religious are distractions.  In the video 
Cass linked, the one aspect of truth that came through is that this 
interpretation of Islam put forward by some mullahs where the faithful are 
instructed to convert the rest of humanity by the sword if necessary, is 
immoral.  The Christian materialization of the Christos is immoral as they 
can now blame the Jews for the death of Christ and it justifies them doing 
all sorts of evil in trying to convert humanity to Christianity in order to 
save their souls.  The Jewish materialization of the symbols of Jeruselam 
and Israel have given rise to Zionism and the evil injustices perpetrated 
upon the peoples of the Middle East for over 50 years.  The 95% have to be 
awakened to the evils of religions, this cannot go on.

The destruction of Lebanon was a moral crime that resulted in the mass 
murder of far too many Lebanese.  Soldiers fighting with soldiers is war.  
Soldiers targeting and killing unarmed civilians is murder.  It is immoral.  
Whether Israeli or Lebanese, the civilian population should not have been 
involved in this.

Anyone who is distracted by any of the propoganda coming out of this 
conflict needs to give their head a shake.  Wars today are not fought on 
principle, they are fought with the objective of setting up the next war.  
If anyone thinks that the sick minds behind this war did not obtain their 
objectives, they are sadly mistaken.  The few who were in the know on both 
sides got exactly what they wanted.   The only people who lost were the 
civilians.

The civilians should be the people who are championed by theosophists, not 
the temporary churches of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc.  These will be 
gone before too long.  Similarly, the states of Israel, Lebanon, and the 
rest, they will not last forever.  They too will pass.  Surely, this is a 
truth that theosophists understand?

Logos is concerned about unmasking these Illuminati.  Why? What does it 
matter who they are?   There will always be dugpas.  Our goal is not to 
destroy them, our goal is to work to help lift humanity so that it no longer 
falls prey to these types of minds.  The problem with researching shadows is 
that there is much more disinformation than there is accurate information.  
Even if there is a Sabatean or Frankist faction among the Jews working with 
the Vatican and others, intent on destroying all Jews, who would believe it? 
 The best and surest way of waking people is to point to the immoral acts 
done in the name of the state or in the name of religion.  Most people have 
a sense of morality that transcends their beliefs.  It is to that which we 
have to appeal.  Many Jews and Lebanese are questioning the latest war, 
stear the discussion towards the moral rather than which side is right or 
wrong.  There is so much disinformation out there, the worst of it 
propogated on the nightly news, that everyone is going to have a different 
understanding of history.  Frank and Carlos have very different 
understandings of history.  Both are responding according to their 
understanding and integrity with the hope of making things better.  Neither 
is going to be re-eductated historically; but if they wanted, I think they 
could come to an agreement at a moral level.  If Christian, Jew, Hindu, and 
Moslem understood they are all one in spirit, if they learned to trust one 
another, conflict would be reduced significantly.   People have to learn to 
act morally rather than continue to rely on the political or religious 
excuse for bad behavior.
