Meanderings - August 31, 2010 - The Story is About You!

For most who are familiar with the term "Theosophy", the next item that invariably comes to mind is HP Blavatsky's "Secret Doctrine" (hereafter referred to as 'SD'). On this site you will find a number of very interesting interpretations of the work. Some of these interpretations are a direct result of study and some derived as a result of attempts to understand and communicate the meaning in one's own words.

In HPB's Preface, she states: " Further, it claims consideration, not by reas… Continue

Klaus Dona - the hidden history of the human race-antediluvian world and nephilim giants

Learning...Real & Imagined

Always an admirer of Sufi traditions, and after having thrown out some ideas on education earlier, perhaps it's a good thing to combine the two concepts. These are from Idres Shah's "Learning How to Learn".

"In Winter you look for a fur garment, but when Summer comes you have no time for it, it is an encumbrance. So it is with imitations of real teachings. They keep people warm until the time comes when they can be warmed by the Sun..."

- Rumi

Meanderings - August 23, 2010 - Theosophical Myths and Mythologies

Well, what an interesting last several days on the Theosophical Network. What an interesting and wonderful opportunity to dig through one of the most popular stories in the modern Theosophical tradition.

For years many of us have been acquainted with the story of how Albert Einstein used the Secret Doctrine...and now we're dissecting the truth behind the story. I have no doubt that before this is all said and done we will have a fairly accurate picture of what actually took place. Lots… Continue

What is Embrace, Compare, Explore?

Confusing for the time being the Three Objects of the Society with what Theosophy is, we can more or less sum up today's living theosophical concepts.

First, "To form a nucleus of the universal COMMUNITY ( in today's language, brotherhood excludes 52% of the world's population, and actually repels about 10% of us.) of Humanity without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or color." That would be EMBRACE. Embrace the community you li

Meanderings - August 21, 2010 - How Did Albert Einstein Intuit (Grok) E=mc2?

What originally drew me towards Theosophy was the desire to understand the connections between science, philosophy and religion. This just happened to go along well with one of the major goals of the Theosophical movement. Fast forward almost three decades. For years I had heard rumors regarding Albert Einstein having used the Secret Doctrine (SD) to assist in the development of the General and Special Theories of relativity. Last year I began a correspondence with Leon Maurer abo… Continue
