[edit] Neutrality

The first section states all kinds of things as if they are facts, although probably a majority of people will find them highly dubious or worse. For example: "These esoteric teachings form the origin of all the world's great philosophies, mythologies and spiritual traditions." Most Christians will disagree that these esoteric teachings, whatever they are, form the basis of their spiritual traditions. Or is the implication that these traditions are petty? "As a Mahatma, Djwal Khul is working mentally for the furthering of spiritual evolution on our planet, using his highly developed powers of meditation, or siddhis." So this implies (1) that Djwal Khul has "highly developed powers of meditation", and that he is working "mentally" (what does that even mean?) for the "furthering of spiritual evolution on our planet". How can we conceivably check this? --Lambiam^Talk 19:51, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

How can we conceivably check the "the fundamental Christian fact" that Jesus walked on water? Somebody from Tibet could post the exact kind of message you have posted here on Jesus' Wikipedia page. The Wikipedia is not a discussion forum for beliefs. You may "believe" something other than what was posted on Djwhal Khul's page but you have not offered any "evidence" contrary to what was stated. How do you know that the information posted here didn't come from the same source where Moses received his? The information posted on Jesus' page and the information posted on Djwhal Khul's page essentially came from the very same source. Our beliefs!

• Um, this really wasn't very difficult to fix. Any contestable beliefs like this should be clearly attributed to the groups which hold those beliefs in the initial sentences. After that, a switch to the present tense alone is sufficient, since all further statements are taken to be those made by adherents.Eaglizard 18:52, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
