Simplicity

Can someone enlighten me, because so far, the thesophical network has completley confused me, people use perculiar language, which sounds like they dont really know what they are talking about? Simplicity is golden, and if people are here to share ideas, then surely the most important thing is to be understood, rather than ego boosting, and suedo intellect crunching! I feel completley disheartened.

What is Science?

Sometimes we run into situations where we have to step back and take a look at and make sure that we're seeing the forest for the trees, that is, to make sure we understand the full scope of an issue vs. its component parts. In the field of "spiritual studies" this is probably more true than in other places.

In the Theosophical tradition, there is a strong emphasis on the encouragement of study of science, specifically in the call for the study of "comparative religion, philosophy and… Continue

The Human Brain Processes Predictable Sensory Input In a Particularly Efficient Manner

Here's an interesting article about activity that takes place during the process of perception. Buddhist psychology states that the mind, through the functioning of the skhandas and through the functioning of the 12 nidanas both affects and is affected by the contact taking place via the senses. Various Theosophical writings echo this concept, implying that the mind modifies these contacts into something that is not reality, but rather is a melang… Continue

8 March Women and Peace

March 8:International Day of Women: Women as Peacemakers Rene Wadlow* It is only when women start to organize in large numbers that we become a political force, and begin to move towards the possibility of a truly democratic society in which every human being can be brave, responsible, thinking and diligent in the struggle to live at once freely and unselfishly March 8 is the International Day of Women and thus a time to analyse the specific role of women in bringing peace to areas of conflict… Continue

Free Will an Illusion?

In the following article from PhysOrg, biologist Anthony Cashmore presents an argument against free will based on biological factors. For those of us who take the view that consciousness is the primary basis of existence it seems a bit like putting the cart before the horse.

Anyway, take a read of the article below (from PhysOrg.com) and give us your thoughts.

Joe

What do you think 2112 is all about?

I think that the Winter solstice in 2012 is simply the

changing of a cycle. I feel that it will be a change for the better. It is the holiest day of the year, so Someone's probably going to be initiated into the highest level, or very near it. We sure do need this.

There are so many young people with 'old' eyes, if ya' know what I mean, Jellybean. These kids are BORN old and seemingly wise. They are called the Indigo Chi

What or who are these UFOs?

There is tons of evidence that UFOs are real. I am completely baffled as to the identity of them. They never hurt anyone, unless you're the poor soul who had to undergo an anal-probe! I am not scared, 'cause I believe that the Brothers of Light will never allow we puny Earthlings to be harmed by an outside influence. Are they the new 6th Root Race?

Please, let me know what you think.

World Day of Social Justice

World Day of Social Justice: A Sense of Direction Rene Wadlow* On a proposal of the Ambassador of Kyrgyzstzan, the United Nations General Assembly has set 20 February as the World Day of Social Justice. It was observed for the first time in 2009, but is not widely known. As with other UN-designated “Days”, the World Day of Social Justice gives us an opportunity to take stock of how we can work together at the local, national and global level on policy and action to achieve the goals set out in… Continue

Stainton Moses and "Imperator" - some Theosophical History

For anyone who is a student of the "Mahatma Letters to A.P. Sinnett"
there is a letter regarding Stainton Moses, a Spiritualist (former
Anglican minister...and not the last to be familiar with the TS) who
was in contact with a being referred to as "Imperator, who along with
45 other guides, were in contact with Moses from 1871 - 1873. In the specific letter (#9 in the 2nd & 3rd

Sinnett's novel "United"

I put online at scribd.com a pdf/txt copy of A.P. Sinnett's novel "United" (2vols in one) at:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/27021079/United-A-Novel-A-P-Sinnett

This is a very strange book. Don't think I've read another one like it, if one can get through the prim-and-proper upper-class 19th century Britain setting. The two main characters are a mesmerist and esotericist, and a yo… Continue

Inner Christianity (A Review)

Richard Smoley Inner Christianity: A Guide to the Esoteric Tradition (Boston: Shambhala, 2002, 292pp.) (Book) At this time of transition from the Piscean Period to the Age of Aquarius, there is an evaluation going on within all systems of belief to sort out those aspects of value for the New Age and to let dry up those thought forms and processes which were appropriate only for the passing Piscean period. Such an evaluation is particularly complex in Christianity which has been the dominant fai… Continue

Scammers using theosophical network to make contact.

Unfortunately some not so charming individual has used this network to make contact in an attempt to scam money. In an absolutely disgusting attempt they are using the plight of refugees to emotionally blind individuals to part with their cash. For those genuinely dealing with destitution the perpetrators are truly showing the depths of their depravity.
