MORAL
CHARACTER
Our very well-being,
physically and spiritually, depends in no small part upon our moral character
relating to right and wrong. Only by making those choices we know to be right,
based on reason and intuition, do we realize our humanity. In and of itself,
there is nothing finer.
There lies in this, however,
an inherent danger: In
such a state of personal comfort we tend to become complacent. The plight of
our fellowman is obscured by thoughts of our own self-interest. It is for this
very reason that we must rise above our complacency to be ever-conscious of the
needs of others.
Not everyone, to be sure,
falls prey to this state of
self-interest. Those who
freely render help and understanding to others would be the first to affirm
that, individually, we can make a difference in the lives of others. How much
greater, though, would be our reach and how much more life-changing to those
suffering and in need were we to come together and adhere to
Mme. H.P. Blavatsky’s dictum
as stated in vol.3,
p.262, of her
“Secret Doctrine”:
“The first and fundamental principle of moral strength and power is association
and solidarity of thought and purpose.”

Love this. You live by example in regard to thoughtfulness toward others. I think of you often in that regard, and wonder what you would do -- bring what I think that might be, or what you have shown me, to others. Thank you for all these lovely offerings, and for the reminder about Ms. Blavatsky. :) J'adore mon cherie...
