Katinka Hesselink commented on Joe Fulton's blog post 'Free Will an Illusion?'
There's nothing new about this. The question is however perfectly impossible to answer at a scientific level, precisely because science assumes cause and effect - but even in quantum physics cause and effect aren't absolutes. From a psychological p…

Hi, once u r in India, please let me know. You can start a great research on Master CVV and his notes which were given by the invisible Masters.

I also think it's important to make sure it's not a majority within a lodge board that has a certain affiliation. I'd cringe as much at a board with only Blavatskyites, as I would at a board with a majority of Bailey fans.

Martin Euser commented on Katinka Hesselink's blog post ''Theosophy for a new generation of inquirers / enquirers' ;)'
In my last posting in this thread I stressed the fact that feeling involves a comparison. (as a whole feeling involves a "judgment", an evaluation of kinds, on whatever level of being this may be - physical, mental-social or spiritual). The question…

Mic, It is considered good practice in esotericism to formulate one's thoughts as clear and precise as possible. This serves two purposes: it helps one to build up a clear framework of thought and it also is less cumbersome for the other who has to…

Mik, you ask me to do a little exegesis of your train of thinking? In order to do that I would like you to summarize your ideas in a short paragraph, no more than five sentences or short phrases. I get the idea of your wrestling with "absolutes", b…

Hi Martin, Perhaps rather than just turning to books (although there is most certainly a time for this!) perhaps you might indulge me in going through and questioning some of my propositions here? obviously one has so little time and rather than cu…

Also, Derrida's differance seems important to me, as a kind of essential characteristic of beings . Qualities that are somehow integrated into a larger whole. A perpetual process of differentiation and integration working together in the dance of li…

Introducing myself

I've been studying world religions for years - even went to university to study them there for a few years. The Theosophical Society is a great help to me in that study - right now for instance we're studying the Yoga Sutras by Patanjali in the lodge in The Hague (The Netherlands).

I share my insights on my blog All Considering.
I archive interesting material on any religion I'm studying at my website Katinka Hesselink Net. It has a large section on theosophy and theosophical history. See also the sections on Jiddu Krishnamurti, Buddhism, Sufism and Alternative Christianity.

My hope for the Theosophical Society (and the Theosophical Movement) is that it will continue to be a force for interfaith dialog, based on the understanding that ultimately Truth is ONE.

I am new here and i am enlighten by a desire to find that extraordinary force that inspires. it is my belief that we are driven by gratification (we have an inclination to do what feels good). Talk to u later!!!!!!!!!

the source of religions

According to my professors at Leiden university the oldest still living religion is Zoroastrianism, which has a common history with the early Vedas. The area where this civilization lived is, still,…

Occult Effects of Alcohol, Drugs, and Tobacco.

HPB smoked because she was human and had her faults. Just like you said. She also ate meat. I think she saw the latter as a more serious offense than the former. After all: eating meat is eating a fo…

Occult Effects of Alcohol, Drugs, and Tobacco.

Well, Blavatsky was pretty harsh on the French lodge drinking alcohol at meetings & the mahatmas tried to stop Sinnett drinking as much alcohol as he did. So all in all, I do think they were pret…

Alien contact: a form of clairvoyance?
5 Replies

I'm wondering what you all think of contact with aliens. Is it a form of clairvoyance? If so, does that mean that aliens are not on the physical plane at all? Can they be seen by everybody?

Occult Effects of Alcohol, Drugs, and Tobacco.

I agree that the effect of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs are things of this life, not a future one. To the extent that alcohol and drugs make spiritual growth in this life less likely, and serious…
