Apologies to Adelasie

Adelasie, 

First of all, let me tell you something you may have perceived already.

I may think differently from you in many ways, but I respect your sincere devotion for the divine world, whatever you call it.

Secondly, as your specific posting below, I would like to say:


We have two brain hemispheres. One of them is logic, critical, the other mystical, intuitive.

We need both of them in the spiritual path. 

We need "viveka", discernment -- the ability to tell truth from lie, reality from illusion. 

Perhaps your view of the spiritual path is leaving aside half of your neocortex. The left half. There is no need for that. 

Why did HPB criticize conventional religions and many other forms of collective illusion?

Because she used both halves of her brain -- and she invites us to do the same. 

But -- if the hearts are not taken away by separativeness, duality of ideas will not produce hatred, and I, speaking for me,  am completely out of hatred!!! 

There is a greater harmony within whose wide circle duality can be exerted.

My apologies and heartful greetings, Carlos.
