Susan, I too found your article compelling and well written.
While I claim little insight, I have been visiting both atheist chat rooms and web groups for at least a decade. I find it interesting to learn the thought processes underneath their beli…
Thank you. I am a big fan of obituaries. I would like to archive some on this site when I get the time.

Purpose Driven Atheism: Secular Maharishis Seeking True Believers
By Frank Schaeffer
June 23, 2009
Do Richard Dawkins, Bill Maher, and other true believers really offer a different path, or are their methods…
I have decided to do that tomorrow. Thanks...I don't want to seem pushy, but on the other hand, they know me, it's not like they don't know I want to know what's up.
Can you pick up the phone and call and ask if any decision has been made?
When I was working as an employee, it never occurred to me to do it. After being self-employed, too long, my general thinking has changed drastically!
Many times people do n…
What am I supposed to learn from waiting to hear back about a job promotion? I applied six weeks ago, had an interview two weeks ago, and was told I would hear back "after the 4th of July." I can't even decide whether to e-mail and ask for an update…
Excellent! This appeals to all mind-sets as I see it. I likes it, I likes it a lot!
When asked if theosophists are atheists, HPB (in The Key) says: "Not that we know of, unless the epithet is applied to those who disbelieve in an anthropomorphic God. We believe in a Universal Divine Principle, the root of ALL, from which all procee…
"Doubt transports you to the truth. Who does not doubt fails to inquire. Who does not inquire fails to gain insight. Without insight, you remain blind and perplexed."
Al-Ghazali, Sufi master (1058-1111)
I told my fundamentalist sister everything above, and the one last time that we saw him before he went away. She can believe it or not, whatever.
I feel much better now.
My son and I have both seen and spoken to my father since his passing. We put a lemon meringue pie in the kitchen, and he loved that. My son saw him just minutes after he died and he was showing a microphone. My son gently told him that he had passe…
Max Heindel said that what he saw in instances of amputation was that the astral body disintegrated slowly when the physical body part was destroyed. Kirlian photography bears this out in the studies I have seen. The astral counterpart of the physic…
And at about 11AM this morning he passed in his sleep. And so he moves on, as we all do. Thanks to those of you who have sent messages on facebook.
And yesterday was his 91st birthday. The nurse took the phone to his room. He could hear me, but he could not speak to reply. I am so trying to let go....this is so hard.
Beautifully written, Thankyou Susan.
I have to admit, this is the first thing I've seen in a very long time that has forced me to reassess my views on atheism. In the ML and the Key to Theosophy there are a number of comments very strongly in favor of atheistic views, mostly on moral g…

This Atheism Article Rings True for Me

Purpose Driven Atheism: Secular Maharishis Seeking True Believers
By Frank Schaeffer

Do Richard Dawkins, Bill Maher, and other true believers really offer a different path, or are their methods and manner merely a mirror image of the fundamentalism they so despise? We are spiritual animals and must learn to live with the complexities and paradoxes of religion—and of the natural world as well.

Theosophy Today-Daily Life
Hoping that all members will be able to get away from the in-the-brain theosophy to a point of sharing what we do in the real world that has theosophical meaning. Some theosophists forget to go out in the real world and be theosophy. I hope that people will share here theosophy in their lives. From dealing with the fundamentalists on the doorstep, to standing in line at the grocery store, we create a nucleus of universal brotherhood either consciously or unconsciously. I hope that we can use thi… Continue

- Sorry that I am not competent to upload a phtograph of me. I am the orange box in this picture. You can be the blue box. Thank you for your greeting. The site is fine. I think Theosophy is, in fact, evolutionary and growing up. Many of us no longer see TS fundamentalism (whether it be Blavatsky, Judge, Besant Iyer Taimni) as required. I revere all who have gone before and celebrate all who are here now. Like you folks who founded this site.

It's good to be among fellow students of Theosophy in this new electronic environment. Looking forward to the pursuit of that Fourth Object.
